Just this past Saturday our church and some other friends went to the Estabrooks' Apple Gala!
It was really fun! (the Estabrooks hold an Apple Gala every year) We mainly played outside games like, Ultimate Frisbee, Capture the Flag, Freeze tag and Football. (there were probably....at least 50 kids there)
Mr. Estabrooks made apple cider with his 100 year old apple machine thing. It was really good! 10 or 12 of the people brought pies for a contest. (It was the "Best Pie Contest")
After it got dark, and everyone went inside, we all (the kids) played card games! We played Uno and Rummy. (from what I saw)
Sunday, we went to the Marcums' house for our friend, A.J.'s Birthday! He was turning 21!
Mrs. Marcum made a huge rib and pot roast feast. They were the juiciest most tender ribs I had ever had.
After we ate, Paulie, Luke, A.J., Mike, A.J.'s sister Emily and her husband Josh, and I went outside and played Football and Ultimate Frisbee. It was really fun!!
Mrs. Marcum made 2 big German Chocolate cakes! (A.J.'s favorite I guess)
After everyone left (except us and Mike) Mike, Paulie, Luke and I played Rummy for like.....2 hours or something. We had a great time over at their house! Thanks, Marcums!!

Pretty Fall leaves and Baby Chloe!

Ok, I told you that I would post this week, so now I'm posting.
We all took a drive Saturday and Wednesday. (except Paulie and Luke)
We drove near Cades Cove (and went to Gatlinburg) Saturday and we went on just a pretty drive Wednesday. (we went to Newport and saw all the pretty Fall colored leaves!) After all that, we ate at Olive Garden! It was pretty good, except, Sani barfed every where.
Today Mom went to her doctor's appointment for a checkup. We hope the baby comes out healthy.
Usually, we have a bible study with some friends every Thursday, but we aren't doing it tomorrow because Mr. Marcum isn't feeling good and there is a lot of sickness happening now. We don't want to get sick with the baby and all.
Our studies usually are pretty fun! Sometimes people bring snacks and we have a good time.
Ok, Mom just came back from their appointment, and it turns out that she is NOT having a boy!! (I have to admit.....I REALLY wanted a boy. But I also REALLY like the name Chloe Abigail!) Yes, that is the name of the baby!
This morning, all 6 of the TOS staff left. We had lots of fun with them over.
It's going to be nice getting back to my normal schedule.
Julia's party went really well!
She had lots of people over, a huge cake and presents.
We all had a great time.
My brothers and I are a little late, but we are going to get her a GameCube!
We (our whole family) are going to the Gonzalez' house this weekend for a game night! (just board games and poker) It's going to be a lot of fun!
Well, I can't think of anything else to say; I'm not really doing much this week, but I'll post again next week.
Saturday we are having a birthday party for my sister, Julia! A lot of people are coming such as the Estabrooks, the Gonzalez's, the Petersons, the Marcums, the Marcums' son, Mike, A.J. and his wife Leann.
She is turning 13! Her birthday is on Sunday, and we are going to be having some staff over.
It is going to be a lot of fun. One of the great things about Julia is that she is always giving.
Every time I ask her if I can ride her bike, she always says yes. (my bike is broken)
She is always watching Sani, even if we have company over.
Sometimes I take advantage of what a great sister Julia is.
I am going to try to be a better brother to her, too.
Thank you, Julia!
I just got back from Mexico not too long ago! Dad and I went because we wanted to see our great aunts before they died. We drove to Tasco and I bought myself a silver bracelet. Dad got the boys one too, and Julia a set of earrings, a bracelet and a necklace. We were down there for Mexico's Independence Day. It was a great experience.
So. My life is too busy to blog anymore. But I do have a facebook. If you have one send me a friends request. This will probably be my last post on HSB. So goodbye everyone!!! (:
Christmas was a very blessed event for our family. I don't like many aspects of the "holiday" flurry. The shopping, wrapping, putting out the tree and than taking it down again, has never really appealed to me. I do however like the focus on the day itself and the activity that leads up to it. Celebrating the birth of Jesus my savior, the gathering of friends and family, giving others gifts and the food. That last one I like a little too much!
And now a new year has started. The presents have long since been handed out and received and last year is now the past. It is now time to focus on this new year. My prayer is that it is one focused more on Jesus, even though we have long since put away the tree.
Okay....I kinda dropped of the earth for a few months. I havn't had time to blog recently. High school takes a lot of work. I miss all you guys! I have a facebook and a myspace that i get on pretty often so if you have either of those you can search Jessica Shultz and request me as a friend. I probably wont be back on HSB for a while. So I guess this is goodbye for now!
This FREE event was held in Townsend Tennessee. It was like walking into the past into the days of Jesus as a boy. There were several booths where crafts and activities were being done.
My cute little guy -- in his Jewish attire for the day.
And he is that cutey again eating his unleavend bread that we made together.
Below is on of the best activities. Pottery. It was messy but so fun!!!
