ROCK ON

(Zoe) Several Sundays ago after we came home from church Mom told us that the Terry's were coming over. Shorty after they arrived Mom and Cali told us that we were going to go somewhere. But when we chose who was riding with who Mom and Cali said that Austin, Mattea, and I were going with them.So we got into the car and they said that we were going to a special taco place (yeah right). We drive to Portland, park, and then get out and walk straight towards the Rose Garden. (definitely NOT tacos). Yep. WAY better than tacos. A concert. Now, none of us kids had ever been to a concert, (except one time Mattea and I went to see this guy playing a violin, but that doesn't count), so this was way cool. Jars of Clay, Mercy Me, Anthem Lights, Lacrae, Thousand Foot Crutch, The Afters, Matt Maher, and some other ones were all bands that were there. It was the Rock and Worship Roadshow! My favorite was Anthem Lights. The only way I can describe it is this: Loud and fun.Thanks Cali and Mom! 

Awana Games

(Zoe) On Saturday, March 19th, Chloe, Nathan, Mattea, Ryon, Jackson, Claudia, Me, and some of our other friends at Awana had the privilege of participating in Awana Games and Sparks-a-rama. Of course, Ryon and Jackson were in Sparks-a-rama and the rest I mentioned were in Awana Games, or Truth and Training (T&T) Games. Ryon and Jackson, along with the rest of their team, took First Place for Brush Prairie Baptist Church, Sparks. In Awana Games however, they divide it up so that it is girls vs. girls and boys vs. boys. Our girls team beat the other girl teams by far and took Gold, and the boys struggled bravely and took Silver. This was the last time that Chloe, Mattea, or I would be able to participate in T&T games since we are moving up to Trek next year, so getting Gold made us pretty happy. We made some records in Tug of War and other games and came out with Gold. Awesome.Here are some pictures:
