Sunday...

Well I spent Saturday evening cooking. In fact I cooked 11 pounds of chicken and diced it up, 7 pounds of noodles, and chopped up some brocolli. I made two large pans of chicken alfredo. Why you ask... for this group of kids...

Her is the gang minus 13.

The really great thing was that all the kids were able to eat as much as they wanted and the adults (who eat last) where able to eat too. Dinner went well and the kids had a great time.

In the picture you will notice to white girls, they are not usually part of our Sunday's, but they came to stay the weekend with their Aunt Noelle and I. After lunch and dropping off most of the kids at their house we brought two of the girls back to play with Noelle's nieces. Their brother was tears because he couldn't come. Noelle at the request of the kids made snicker lattes. Needless to say we found out one of the kids come out in rare form when she has caffinee and she will NEVER have caffinee again at our house :)

Inclosing it was a great weekend and below are other pictures from this weekend, enjoy.

Destiny and her lego creation.

Taylor pulling Kerby around with a raquet.

Lucy, Jessica, Taylor and Destiny all made t-shirts last night and they were in the middle of putting beads on the sleeves. Their are some true artists in this group.

Lesson 1: Mama Ain't Playin'

Mama Ain't Playin'

Looks like Mama is going to make him stand out there for a long time! Ought to be a pretty good lesson, one not easily forgotten! Don't ya think? He doesn't look very happy, like, maybe the lesson is already working, huh? We need more people like her...

If only we had more parents that weren't playin'...

Maybe we won't have so many drop outs.

Maybe we won't have so many preteens in prisons.

Maybe we won't have so many crimes.

Maybe we won't have so many premarital pregnancies.

When living in the hood....

When living in the hood of GR don't mention to your mother that you and your roommate are trying to save money so you are going to turn off your alarm system because it would save you the alarm bill and the phone bill (especially because we don't use the house phone). She might just have a cow (j/k mom). Truely she does cares and doesn't want anything to happen to me, so we will probably find another way to save money.

The end is near...

Well my mom will glad to know that today I found out that the END IS NEAR!! That is college. If all goes as planned I will graduate in 2010, not soon enough. I wish it was today that I was graduating. I learned much today in my advising appointment. I learned that one of my classes that I took MCC will fill the requirements of one of the courses I need to take at GVSU. Well any ways wanted to leave you with this picture that all to soon I will be doing...


Hallelujah Praise the Lord!!!!!!

Sunny and warm somewhere...

Yes it is sunny in MI, but it is far from warm. I wish I was somewhere that I could do this...




The turtles have to have an UVA light to keep their shells hard and the other day they were rubbing it into my face (not really). 62 more days and I will be able to do that in Sunny Florida. I can't wait.
