November 2012

November was a busy month full of precious memories for us…

we worked on our new house…a lot!

Jesse learned to ride a two wheel bike!

Trey’s 4H fair project placed 1st!

We adopted a new kitten.

We learned to make cheese during our 4H meeting.

We also created Christmas cards for soldiers during 4H.

We went to the fair.  And ran into some old friends.  It was the best time!

We had fun times with our cousins and friends.

We had a great time at the Pioneer Harvest Festival.

We examined pond scum.  And learned how to make soap!

We celebrated Rigdon turning ONE!

We had TWO yummy Thanksgiving dinners with family!

And.  We got two hogs.

Wow!  What a month!

Old Fashion Sunday is one of our favorite days at church.  The boys absolutely love going to church barefoot!  And Mommy thinks her boys are just so adorable in suspenders and straw hats!

Our annual trip to Twin Oaks to sing and celebrate birthdays is always a fun time!

Trey’s gorgeous artwork that he submitted for the “Mixed Media” art category.  He placed 3rd in his age group!  We are so proud of him!

Yesterday we cheered on our Pine Level friends as they competed in keyboard solos, drama, and Bible Tic-Tac-Toe.  Today it was our turn to compete.  Bible Millionaire took center stage and my big boy did AWESOME!!!  I am so proud of him and the entire Pine Level team!  They finished in the FINAL 8 (out of 25 teams), missing making it to the FINAL 3 by only one tricky question!

I didn’t take a photo today.  Instead I’m sharing a photo from earlier in the month.  This is Jesse’s class cross from the silent auction a couple of weeks ago.  Each child painted a tile and then they were glued onto the cross.  Jesse’s is the fish.  Isn’t it just beautiful!

After our VBS closing program we held a silent auction to raise money for our CTS competition next month.  Each Wednesday night class made a class project that was auctioned off, along with lots of other stuff.  Trey’s class made this cool dragonfly mirror.  I think it will look great in our green frogs and dragonflies bathroom!

Tonight, after our evening service, we headed to Rock ‘n Roll Bowling for our afterglow gathering with our church family.  Fun times.  Late night.  Totally worth it.
