the rice feedings

3 cans of rice will feed a family for

about a week.

bagging rice is hard, hard work!

we prayed over each person that received rice

But look who gets the rice!!
























so happy!







Carrying rice back up the mountain to feed thier family.

That was worth it all...

fall fun times!!

Sure have had some fun times so far this fall! I love
the cooler weather. We went to the Homecoming
game at OSU against Baylor and had a great time with
Brady and his buddies! We ate lunch and attended the
silent auction at the Phi Delt House, tailgated, went to
the game and cheered them to victory!! Ate dinner with
Brady and stayed in a cute little bed and breakfast in
Guthrie, Oklahoma. It was a great weekend!

We met Brady and some friends in Austin the next
weekend for the OSU/ UT game!! Such a disappointing
loss, but it was a great game!!!

My dad's 71st birthday fell on the "grandparent's to lunch
day" at JAV Elementary!! He got to eat lunch with Marissa,
Nena and me, pass out cookies to my class, Marissa's class
and his own grandaughter's class of 1st graders!! One kiddo
asked him if he was in WWII... eeeeekkkkk!!!
