Junior High Camp @ Copper Mt, CO

Please pray for Carter and the several hundred students & leaders that left for Copper Mountain, Colorado for JH camp this week.

The Party Don't Stop!!

Monday, before going to dinner for Julie's Birthday, Carter surprised Julie with an invitation to a Birthday Party that he had planned for her! Attached to one of her presents, he had taped the invitation...SO SWEET!! The party was at our house the next night!

We used the Chocolate Fountain at the party!

Mmm...yummy dinner at Chamberlain's Steakhouse!
Mr. Chamberlain surprised us with a special Birthday dessert!

Here's some pics from the the party...Val (the shitzu we dogsit) showed up for the party in her tutu! She was the star of the party!

Carter picked up some delicious cupcakes from Elizabeth's instead of a cake...GREAT idea! They were AMAZING!

Singing "Happy Birthday!"

Getting a little crazy with the Chocolate Fountain!

We've been celebrating a lot of Birthday's already this month! It's only the 1st of June and we've celebrated 4 Birthday's!!

Debbie & Julie at Rudy's with our friends celebrating Jarrett's 30th Birthday! Julie & Jarrett have the same birthday and have celebrated together for the past 5 years while at youth camp! This amazingly fun party was a surprise for Jarrett by his sweet wife Debbie!

The Birthday Girl's!
Left to Right, Julie's Mom, Joyce, celebrates her birthday this Wednesday on the 4th, Julie celebrates her birthday this Monday on the 2nd, and Julie's sister, Michelle, celebrated her birthday on Saturday, May 31st!

We watched the most beautiful sunset on our way home from Rudy's tonight...wanted to share God's goodness!

Wonderful Cross!

This morning after church, our church family went to the site of our future church building in Prosper and watched as they raised the cross on the building! It was such an exciting day as our Pastor, Jack Graham and North Campus Pastor, Marc Rylander prayed over our church family and this building that will be used to spread the Good News about Jesus Christ!

Weekend Getaway! 4/30-5/3

This past week we went on a much needed vacation with our friends Drew & Carolyn!
We went to a lake house in Mt. Vernon that our friends so graciously let us use!
It is the perfect spot for relaxing, reading, and reflecting on how AMAZING God is!

Carter & Drew had fun catching Catfish & Bass!

Smore's...Yum!

Celebration & Prayer Request...

Today we celebrated Grandma Wortham's (Julie's Dad's Mom) 80th Birthday which is actually Tuesday this week. The whole family got together for a potluck dinner at the clubhouse where we live! We had a great time with our family and Grandma really enjoyed herself!

Grandma Appleman (Julie's Mom's Mom) also celebrates her birthday this Tuesday! Please lift up Julie's family in prayer as we found out today after all the celebrating that Grandma Appleman has Leukemia. Her health has been declining and the doctors have not been able to determine what it was until the most recent bone marrow test and it confirmed that she has Leukemia. Grandma lives in Houston in an apartment by herself and will soon move into an assisted living home. We will keep you posted and would greatly appreciate your prayers.

Good Times!

This past weekend, we attended Josh Graham & Kaytie McCoy's wedding at the Prestonwood Chapel! It was a very sweet ceremony and ended with a very beautiful and fun reception at the Park City Club in Dallas.

Here's a picture of the boys being boys!

Our sweet friends Carolyn & Drew Herndon!
They are expecting a precious baby boy in August, please keep little Rhodes Andrew Herndon and the Herndon family in your prayers.

The Edmonson's, David the dad, & Luke the son are sweet friends of ours. They were also our photographers for our wedding. It was fun catching up with them! We caught Luke taking a little break!

And we actually got to pose with David instead of him being behind the camera!!

We rode to the reception with our friends Debbie & Jarrett Stephens. Debbie and I were checking out the party favors! They were popcorn balls in little bags and the tag said "Hope you had a ball at our wedding!" So cute!! And the coolest part was our pink popcorn ball actually tasted like cotton candy! YUM-MO!!

Last month...

Oops...we got a little behind in posting...so here's a recap of some fun things that happened last month!!
We took our students bowling one night during Spring Break!

Our sweet friends Big Russ & Susan got engaged!! Russell is going to move to Carter's hometown in Humboldt, TN and be the youth pastor at FBC Humboldt, Carter's home church!

Mendi threw a surprise birthday party for Trog at Buca De Bepo!

More Snow!!

Wow!! The snow is back again!

Check out the blizzard we got on Thursday!

Spring?

It's March...time to start thinking about Easter, spring flowers & ...SNOW!!?? As soon as we cleaned off the rocking chairs on the back porch to enjoy the spring weather...we have a winter blast come through Prosper!! Check out the first snow at our house!!

Can you see it!?

On Wednesday, Feb. 20th we watched as the walls of our church started going up! This is such an exciting time for our church family as we see how God is moving in this area!

Fun Stuff!

Julie's niece, Keely donated 10 inches of her beautiful hair to Locks of Love this weekend!

How cute is she!!! Keely is 5 years old, and will turn 6 next month!

We are so proud of you Keely! What a sweet thing to do!

We joined several of our friends on Valentine's Day for a special dinner at Lucy's in Celina!

Freedom weekend "Alive" was Feb. 7-10th!
This is our church's "d-now" weekend with our students. It was the second year for the North campus to participate. This was Julie and her co-leader, Shae's group of 8th grade girls for the weekend! They had a blast and were challanged to walk as Jesus walked. We studied the book of 1 John and it is evident that God is moving through our students through this study!
