This video should catch you up on everything over the past couple months.

Here is an explanation of some of the pictures. Beau & Seth had their first T-Ball game this week.
Koby was a Hershey’s Kiss for Halloween. (I forgot to post this)
Everyone in our family has had a birthday since my last video.
My Mom and Dad came to visit and they watched our kids while Jennie and I went on a cruise. The cruise pictures will have to go on another video.
We went camping at the Camp Hulaco. The church bought a bunch of land and built a really nice youth summer camp. Anyone can rent out cabins or camp and do all the activities when it’s not being used. We had lots of fun doing the ropes course, canoeing and just having fun.
Jennie and Seth had a very unique birthday. When the big tornadoes and storms came through Alabama it knocked out power to all of North Alabama for 5 days. We couldn’t bake a cake for Seth or Jennie so we spread frosting on graham crackers. Later we got together with Jennie’s family we put a candle in some Little Debbie Cupcakes and Swiss Cake Rolls. The power outage ended up being really fun for us because we got to spend some time together as a family. The stars and night were brighter than ever. We built a fire outside every night and made a couple Dutch oven deserts. We played outside all day and wore the kids slap apart. We went to the creek and floated down the river. We just took it easy. I also got to help with some of the Tornado cleanup. There’s a couple pictures to make a note of. The bare curb with a couple branches is the before picture and the next picture you can’t even see the houses because we loaded up the curb so high. The next one would be the tractor up in the air. Yes trees are heavier than tractors. We learned this the hard way. We thought the tractor could hold up a tree while we cut it and after the cut was made the tractor went up. As for the song, I thought it was a good fit with all the tornado talk. We are blessed to be safe and alive. We are fortunate that we only had to live without power for a couple days.
