Fab Vocab

Our school did a "Fab Vocab" parade. Classes had to pick vocabulary words and dress up like them... Our class was shapes. It was neat to see how creative some parents (and teachers!) got.

Andy Nassar Graduates!!

I am a bad parent.... it has taken me over a week to post this. But Andy doesn't check this blog, so he will never know! lol

It was a nice weekend, still had some hurting moments, but over all, I thank God for the progress we have had with Andy. I can't believe that my baby is 18 and finished with high school! Oh, to turn back time!! I would enjoy it a lot more!!

Sunday School Christmas

Thanksgiving Texas Style

Sunday School Fall Social

1st Brandon VBS

Well, we are done! It was fun! Someone asked me if I preferred this one over KABC. That’s hard to say as they both have good stuff. I really liked doing it during the day. It gives you more time (30 extra) mins) and you can have games outside. At 1st Brandon, the workers get “real” food and a 20 min. break while the kids are at music. And I liked the worship time, it’ 55 mins long and they get to watch the video that Lifeway always has to go with the theme. BUT, with KABC, the story is the best, the music is more child interactive (in MY opinion). So I can’t say one is better than the other, they both serve their purpose.

Ok, not to brag, because it wasn’t me, but my class was one of the best behaving kids there. We had people come to us in the halls and in worship and say our kids were so well mannered. In all, we had 18 2nd graders. Not bad for 3 adults and 2 teens. Oh, and my teen helpers were great! I told them I was going to request them next year.
So now, we do visitation on Tuesday. I already have in mind some of the kids in my group that we are going to hit up. They are the ones who said they don’t go to church anywhere. Actually, one of the boys said it was his 1st time ever being in church. Another one said it was his 2nd time, the 1st time being a wedding. Lol.

PS

going to try and drop by KABC and take some more pics...

To the KABC defectors

Ok, I am one of them, too. But I think we can all agree they put on a great VBS.

These are some pics of what I saw tonight when I visited.

Anna, Abbey B wans't there, but I may go back on Friday night. Either James S or Cindy S will be getting slimed depending on who wins the missions offerin. I will try to take more pics of people then.

A side note to some of the pics: the one of the "bubbler" in hallway. The butt you see in the back is of Ashley Gallops. She has really grown. Has a broken thumb right now but doing good. In the craft room, the mural had an Adam & Eve that Fred thought it was "risque". lol! I heard Jean K. was a "lab rat" in a tu tu. See, James, what you could have been! On Thursday, Brittany Prenatt is going to give her testimony about surviving brain surgery. It's going to pretty cool...

Please keep Bro. Chuck in your prayers. He is having DOUBLE knee replacement surgery tomorrow (Wednesday). I can email whoever wants to be posted on how it went.

24 Years Ago Today!!

Anniversary Weekend Slide show part 1

Great way to end Spring Break!

Went to Fort DeSoto Park with the Hofrichters. It's a great place! Got a space with picnic tables in the shade and spitting distance from the water (didn't get in, too cold still) and we were near the fishing pier so Fred could fish while I chatted the day away with Debbie. VERY nice time. We think we will be back to that spot soon. I tried to lay out and even out my tan but it didn't help. Oh well, with the shirts I wear, you won't be able to see it anyway.

I even survived going on the Skyway bridge. Granted, my eyes were closed the whole time, but at least I didn't forget to breath.

I had a list of things I wanted to accomplish this week and only did a few. But that's ok, we were productive ENOUGH. The rest can wait till Summer, and it's just around the corner.

Only 51 days left to the last day of school!!

PS

to those of you who know the Hofrichters, Sterling is going into middle school this fall and Christian is 9 yrs old!!! I can't believe it :(

Visit With The Stancos

In Honor of Stephany Camille Nassar

21 years ago (at 7:45pm to be exact) God blessed Fred and I with a beautiful girl. I have to be honest, raising her has never been a boring experience! How can I explain her, she brings life into a room, makes us laugh with her innocence, warms my heart at how much she cares for the family, and makes me want to pull my hair out with her stubborness!! But I wouldn't change a thing about her because all of those things and many more have made her into the exceptional young lady she is today!
So, even though she may get mad at me for showing some of these pics, here is my baby girl's life (SO FAR) in pictures:
