Working On The Rally Car....

All the boys had to get together and come up with something they could race with. So they got together and got a dolly, some cardboard, pieces of wood, paint, and nails. They worked pretty good as a team putting this together. Although they did get a little paint crazy (street, mailbox, wood, cardboard). Here is a few pics of their progress. And notice my little crazy boys in the middle of all them big kids.











I didn't get to make it to the race but from what I hear it's a good thing I didn't go. Boog had some tasks they had to perform in the middle of the race (the tasks did not sound to appetizing....I bet Boog had fun preparing this little relay). I am not sure which group won but i'm told it was very intresting.

D*NOW At The Green Household....

All I can say is wow...I thought 3 boys in my house was enough but try having 12! FBC Malakoff is putting on Disciple Now for the youth in our area. There are several host families and my prayers go out to each and everyone of ya'll and we hope ya'll are having as much fun as we are. Boog has done a tremendous job putting this all together and huge kuddos to him. The boys arrived about 8:30 last night and guess what was the first thing they did???? You guessed it straight to the food! After they were all settled in they convened to the table to do a learning session.I have no idea how late they were up but I know it was at least 1am, but that's ok I sleep good and didn't even know it.

This morning Jim got up and went and got donuts and pigs-in-a-blanket. It all went quickly! After they had breakfast while some were showering Jim decided to show them how to leg wrestle....enjoy these pics



So guess what the Green boys are doing now?


Stay tuned more to come...

A Day Of Valentines....

To start this off Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! There was valentines happening all around me today, so I thought I would share a few of the items I saw throughout the day. These places include work, kids school and at home. By the way I tried to be a little artsy (if that's a word) with some of the items I took pictures of. Hope you enjoy!


This beautiful rose belongs to Teresa from my office. There were a dozen of them and they were huge and absolutely georgeous.


These pretzels belonged to Ann from my office and let me tell you they were yummy!


This little singing frog belongs to Shirley one of my sales reps. It sings "My Girl" It was very cute.


These beautiful roses also belonged to Shirley. There were 2 dozen of them. It was also Shirley's 23rd WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!


Lyric, Emily, & Colby at their school valentine's day party.

(Flo you will like this idea)...The kids in Payden's class took their Valentine's Day cards and placed them in the shape of a heart and laminated them to make a placemat. I thought this was a cute idea . You know most parents just throw all those cards away and this is a way you can keep them

PayBo opening his Valentines from us!

Colby with his candy.

And last but definitely not least, here is a pic of my Valentine's Day Gift. Isn't it beautiful! That man of mine surprises me a little more and more everyday. I could not ask for a better husband, he is my world!

T.H.A.T. Class Fellowship....

Tonight many of the families from T.H.A.T (Through Him All Things) Class got together for fun times and fellowship. We have so many families in our class and we would love to have many more. So I thought I would post this in hopes that it will bring more families to join us in our Quest for Christ! Ok so with our group you could imagine how many kiddos we all have when we gather together, so there is always an adventure with them all together and this night was not any different. I am not sure which kiddo it was because I was not over there, but one of them locked themselves in the bathroom. As you can see there were many there to try and help him out. Finally after a minute or two Bro. Nathan was able to get the door open. Definitely a good blogging moment...haha! It was a great night and we absolutely need more times like this.

While The Girls Were Away The Boys Played....

Jim took the boys over to Frankston to the River Run ATV Park. It was that memorable fun father son time where they got to be silly and get VERY muddy, and when I say VERY I mean it. Even their socks were soaking wet and covered in mud. When the boys came in I asked them if they had fun and that was a loaded question, because they still have not quit talking about it. My youngest Colby had his first roll over on his 4-wheeler, but he was able to get out of the way so no damage was done. All in all they had a great day and it was beautiful weather for their father & sons outing. Colby (Look at that muddy face)

The Aftermath Of The Mud...haha!

A Very Girly Day....

Every mom needs a day away from work, kids, hubby, and everyday household chores. The hustle and bustle of everyday life can take a tole on you if you do not take time for yourself. We all need those relaxed, fun, and goofy days where you don't have to be on your best behavior. Where you don't have someone telling you to do it this way or do it that way. No one saying make budget, where's my reports, how's sales going, and no computers crashing and making the days longer. So today was a day with a good friend and lots of shopping. Here's a few pics of our day out....now don't laugh to hard! And no Rhonda is not prego it's a basketball...haha

The strength of Samson....

We have started a bible study with our kiddos every night and right now we are talking about Samson. I don't think I ever really comprehended exactly the mighty strength that he had. And how God was very much with him. In Judges 16: 2-3 says "The people of Gaza were told, "Samson is here!" So they surrounded the place and laid and wait for him all night at the city gate. They made no move during the night, saying"At dawn we'll kill him." But Samson lay there only till the middle of the night. Then he got up and took hold the doors of the city gate, together with the two posts, and tore them loose, bar and all. He lifted them to his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron." Could you imagine that sort of strength? This kind of strength is something only God can give. As long as you are fully trusting in him and follow his commandments he will never depart from you. As we saw a little later that Samson did what God asked him not to do and God left Samson and his strength was gone. We can not pick and choose when we want God in our lives it has to be a 24/7 commitment. Of course we all stumble, but as long as we have faith and trust in God he will always be there to help us up and keep us going. Samson became a slave and was brought to the temple to be mocked. As he was being mocked Samson asked God one last time for his strength to return and God came to him and helped. That tells you how forgiving our God really is. Strength cannot be measured by what we can do But it is measured by how far we let God carry us.

Boog's 30th birthday....

Well it all started with a little white lie that it was mine and Jim's anniversary party. As the weeks went on Boog started to catch on. Then my lovely husband went and ate lunch with him at the very place where the party was to take place. Jim had said that he had never been there before and he didn't really like BBQ, then Boog said well aren't you having a party here this weekend and Jim tried to play it off as if it was where I wanted to have it but to late. With Boog and all his curiosity he knew what was going on. Even though he knew what was going on he was still surprised at all the people that were there. Here's a few pics of the 30th birthday party.

A New Find....

Well Norma and I went to Wal-Mart tonight because we both had a few things we needed to get. So as we were about to leave Norma said oh wait I need to get tissues. So Norma found some Kleenex tissues with vicks on them thinking they would help because she has been stuffy. So after she got her tissues we went and did self check out which is a story in itself, but I won't go there..haha! We get to the car and Norma opens her box of tissues. OMG! They really work we both sniffed them all the way home. It was so funny I almost wet my pants in laughter. I wanted everyone to be able to laugh with us so here is a pic....

So did you get as tickled as we did by looking at this pic? Thanks Norma for the great laugh! Everyone needs a good laugh to keep them healthy.
