This is our sermon series at church "The Red Zone"
talking about how our lives are in the "red-zone" of
a football field, the last 20 yards before we score! It focused
on how God gives us the Holy Spirit to be the best offense against
the demons which attack us and do not want us to being glory to God.
They are constantly attacking our lives, marriage, ministry, etc. to
see that we are not successful and we need to use our Sword of the
Spirit, the word of God (spoken from our lips) to defends ourselves.

This morning Hunter and Jasia joined us for this awesome
sermon. We enjoyed lunch with them after at Applebees.
It was good to catch up :)

Another fun night with Dan and Bree!

Andrew surprised me with a chick-flick
"When in Rome" and I got to enjoy my
favorite movie treat - pretzel bites!

I got a flippin' flat tire...
I have been driving on bald tires (i know unsafe)
but i have a car worth $2,000 so we do not want to put
any more money into it. Too late... the tire blew out on my
way home from work. The nice gentleman told me I didn't
hit a pot hole - my tire completely blew out. He showed me
and i could see the wires poking through my tire in three
different places. And yes i bent the rim and busted my hub cap.
Part of me really does think I hit something but either way...
I guess this may be a blessing in disguise
as I will have safe winter driving tomorrow on out.
God is always in control :)

This is pretty clever - thanks for sharing Bec.
I don't watch the real show but I know my younger
sister does so she'd probably appreciate this!

My car hit 114,000 miles today!!!
This was my third picture attempt,
the other two were fuzzy so this was clear
but almost to 114,001... it was close!

http://icanhascheezburger.com is hilarous!!!!

I do love cats :)

January 24, 2010

Andrew's mother made him a delicious "fruit pizza"
birthday cake to celebrate his big day!

A half-century old today!!!

I love you so much.

Vikings beat themselves against the Saints at their
chance to make it to the Superbowl.. what a disappointment.

January 23, 2010

They announced Happy Birthday to Andrew #25 (tomorrow)
during the 3rd period!


Winning Hockey game!! Air Force beats Holy Cross with 00.6
seconds left on the clock in OVERTIME!!! It was AMAZING!!!
The crowd went WILD!!!

January 22, 2010

I decided for Andrew's birthday on Sunday I would
package up all the change we had been saving so he can
use it on the new camera he wants. I had him open it early so
we could go to the bank and get it counted since they are not
open on Sundays. The total amount was $163 and change.
Clearly not enough obviously but it's a start!

January 21, 2010

Andrew came home last night to get his i-phone...
and see me of course (right?) so when I left for school
this morning he was still sleeping soundly with 4 pillows!

These shoes at our front door means my husband is at home!
I love that thought :)

January 20, 2010

This is one of my current FB scrabble games with Andrew.
I'm pretty convinced he is using a Scrabble generator...
and the reason I know this is because there is no way
a person can use all 7 letters on almost all their turns...
and (no offense love)
but some of his words aren't even in the
common person's dictionary..
like TORRENTS...my thoughts exactly!!
But this game is much closer than the other one so I
felt I needed to document while I am still in the lead!!
Oh crap I'm showing Andrew my letters... o well...

Caribou Says "Mondays Happen"

I say, "Tuesdays happen when there's no school Monday..."

I got me a new cell phone....
Would you like the number?

January 18, 2010

Movie #3 for the weekend - we saw 'Lovely Bones'
I was disappointed, Andrew loved it.

I own the book but have only read a chapter.
People rave about the book but I have heard
even those who have read it still think the movie
was bad. What did you think?

January 17, 2010

Andrew and I in the theatre parking lot before seeing
'It's Complicated' with his parents.
This movie is not for people in their 20's....
however we did have some good laughs!

January 16, 2010

At the Colorado Mammoth Lacrosse game with Sean, Dan, & Bree.
It was a close game against Edmonton. Dan gave me a little grief
for putting my coat on before the game was over but I can assure
you this was not the reason we did not win the game.

January 15, 2010

My husband is home for the weekend, we spent the evening
at the movies seeing 'The Book of Eli' and then dinner at Old Chicago.

January 14, 2010

My six kids as contestants in the school spelling bee.
Unfortunately most of them got eliminated within
the first round or two. But a third grader did make it
to the final three and will move on to the district bee.

New books from the Goodwill make teacher girl happy!

Then I got to come home and found all the lexile levels and
word counts for them all - to a normal person this would be
tedious, to me this is very fun to organize!

January 12, 2010

I am currently reading the book 'The Memory Keeper's Daughter'.
Part of my New Year's resolution is to read
a daily devotion from 'My Utmost for His Highest'.

We rang in the new year! We toasted with some
cheap champagne and sang the new years song - okay
we didn't really sing!! It was a good time at the Gavrich's home!
