Bible Quiz

So here's a post without our kids. Yes it's hard to believe some times that life outside the world of kids exsist but it does. Ray and I signed up for 8 weeks of Marriage enrichment sessions. There's about 30 couples of all ages. Video's to watch and topics to discuss in groups and as a couple. It's great to know we are taking care of eachother the best way we know how and there is always more tips we can pick up. Anyways, I won't go into the details but I did want to share with you this quiz they passed out. Nothing really to do with marriages but it was something to do together. So give it a try. The biggest challenge is to time yourself. Try to complete it within 10 minutes or less.

This is a special test of your knowledge of the books of the bible. See if you can find all of the books of the bible that are mentioned. There are 16.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
"I once made a remark about hidden books of the bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for the facts...and others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers of our readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinationg few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a pastor to find one of them, and there will be a loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there really are sixteen names of the bible in this paragraph."

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? we've found all but one so I guess it's just like they said "it will take a pastor to find one". Good luck!!

Our "cutie"

I will always say we have cute kids. I guess we're just biased but that's ok. I know every parent says the same thing but really if you didn't that would be so sad. So let's just take a moment and brag a bit.

Aren't they cute!! ok ok Mark is not as happy as he normally is but that is because he's two and was making faces in all the other shots having a grand old time watching me snap pictures over and over again. So this is the only one that isn't blurry from his constant movment. So we tried again with Kyla later. Sorry I have rotated her again and again on our photo shop but each time I transfer her into this blog she gets fliped back to sidewise. Don't hurt your neck I don't have medical for all of you!! She is cute though!!

On the beach in February

It's always great to watch kids on the beach. They love to dig and build castles. Even if it's not summer.

It was especially nice to know it was February, there was no snow and we were enjoying watching Mark create with the sand and rocks and sticks that he collected. I guess it's already a week ago that we went but I havn't been able to sit down and fill you all in on the details. We had a great holiday down to White Rock and luckly had great weather while we were there. Great to see family and enjoy the view. Hadn't seen some family for awhile so that was nice to catch up on how things are going. The highlights were the beach for Mark and the Aquarium for all of us not just Mark. Watching the Blugua Whales and Dolphin shows as well as seeing the many types of fish in the ocean.

It's been years since Ray or myself had been there so it was a treat to go and especially fun watching Mark's reaction to it all. I love how expressive kids are. So that was our mini get-a-way for February.
