"Cuthand UMC, You're Home to Me"

Ok, so I stole the title of this post from Mr. Bert Wood, one of Cuthand UMC's finest music men, but it fits :) I am linking up with Kelly for her "Show Us Your Life" post, and today it's all about our churches. Cuthand United Methodist Church has ALWAYS been a part of my life. I was raised going to church and Sunday School there and am now raising my family there. I couldn't ask for a more loving, God-serving, fun group of people to be my church family.


This is one of the most important parts of our church-- our youth group. Ryan helps lead them on Wednesday nights and teaches their Sunday School class as well. This is us last Spring Break at the Buckner Orphanage Shoe Warehouse; we had been sorting and packing shoes and were on our way to a Mavericks game. This summer we are planning a trip to Galveston with them, and I can't wait!
This picture is from last June when our church took on First Baptist Church-Bogata in a softball game (it was a fundraiser for the Bogata Food Pantry, and we won't talk about the score!).

...and I'm back!



I have no excuses, no reasons for not blogging, other than just not "feeling" it. But today I'm home alone and a little bored, so I'll post some pictures and do a little updating.
So here goes...

Kaytie Jane played her first year of Little Dribblers Basketball this winter. Ryan helped coach her team, The Lakers, and had almost as much fun as she did.
For Spring Break this year we went snow skiing with Ryan's family to Pagosa Springs, Colorado (we skied at Wolf Creek). We had so much fun with everyone, and Kaytie Jane really got the hang of skiing. Maggie did not like it as much, but she says now that she did like it and can't wait to go back :)





Maggie has been as busy as ever learning new things at her "school" Rivercrest Rugrats. Her personality has really bloomed lately, and she really keeps us in stitches (although she's still quite bashful around new people--which is a mystery to me--don't know how Ryan and I have a shy child. LOL!)


I hope this blog post finds you all happy and healthy, and I also hope to blog more frequently :)
