Cool Things the Kids are Doing

The twins are well into their cross country season and improving a few seconds each race.

They are also in JROTC, which requires them to have good behavior both at school and home. It has really changed them a lot.

We have all been trying to take advantage of the still-hot weather.

 Jasmine doesn't have classes on Friday, so we decided to go to the beach. I didn't go all summer due to not having a car and not having time in some cases. So this was our first time since before she left for Honduras.

I saw this old fashion surf board and was curious. The owner came over and told me it was from the 1950s, and his dad had bought it at a pawn shop in the 1960s. 

Jasmine has her first job!! She started at Dollar Tree yesterday. No pictures yet.

Right now I am in San Antonio, so more updates to come later.

Second Cross Country Meet

I was able to go to the twins' cross country meet last Saturday and took some pictures.

The Twins Started High School

The twins are in high school this year. Because they plan to be in both cross country and track, they spent a lot of time running with the teams this summer.

Summer Mission Trip

A lot has happened since I posted last time, but it doesn't seem like many people read blogs anymore, and I totally forget to post.

But I'll start back a ways and catch up over the next couple of weeks.

First of all, Jasmine is safely home from Honduras. She said it was challenging, and not all of their team worked together well, but she was glad she went. She said the best part was evangelizing to the little kids.

Here are a few pictures.

They started at one base building a road.

They moved to another base went out in boats to villages to evangelize.

 

All in all it was a positive experience for her.
