The annual homecoming dance has returned to the flight museum. Jillian was asked to the dance by her friend, Harrison. Jake attended with many of his friends. We met up for group photos, dinner at Rosa's, then off to the dance.

Happy 16th to the Twinnies!!!
Happy Birthday, Jake and Jillian! I cannot believe it's been 16 years already!?! You two are so entertaining with your very different personalities! We love how you fight for each other and challenge/compete to bring the other up. In the end your strong faith and leadership skills have shown in your schooling, sports/dance, and with your friends. We're so blessed to have you 2 in our lives! We snuck in a quick family party as they are about to get ready for homecoming dance and Matthew came in town to celebrate! Next week, wisdom teeth removal...
Junior Olympics - Dallas 2024
Jake chose to play up on the 18U team instead of going with his 16U team to California (cheaper on our part, but really he said it just wasn't as fun in California as it is here in Dallas.) So it was a win/win. And, even more so, since they won a silver medal! It was a close match, but in the end a team from California outplayed us. Jake did amazing going against some very grown boys/men and scored many points and caused several exclusions. Way to go, Mavs!!!
Girls Cruise 2024
If you haven't noticed, we love, love cruising. It really is the easiest, most relaxing vacation ever! It was time to take some of the kiddos, starting with an all girls cruise. We celebrated Rachael's graduation and 18th birthday aboard the Mariner of the Sea. We had soooo much fun (despite the fact it took 2 teenage girls 2 hours to get ready for any of the shows or dinners 😠) Happy Birthday, Rachael, our smallest but mightiest, beautiful, and talented girl with a strong heart for Jesus!
