j.p. and como with noise maker, blow-y things :)
jake's idea of a birthday party: a nap and a noise-maker :)
jeb's (jeremiah's) surprise party
neat-o noise makers :)
poor jeremiah...robby, jeremiah, matt neff
accountability group time! me, matt neff, and jake... melissa and stevie were in the front seats in the car :) 
i edited this one and was quite pleased with myself...and i know that it bugs you, mom, that i make faces... :)
so this one of stevie and me is for you, marmie! i'm smiling...see??? :)
hey! i'm smiling in this one, too!!!! :) :)
and this was just random...but one of the cutest cards i've ever seen in my life!!! i HAD to take a picture of it... :)i love posting pictures!!! they are the most fun part of having a blog! then i feel like everybody who's reading this (or who gets bored trying to read this) has something interesting to look at... yay for pictures!!!! :)
so, this morning, we had off-campus prayer...and it was amazing!! stevie, melissa, and i went to the bay and i sat on some rocks under a tree overlooking the water-- pretty pretty!!! :) then we ladies had our Oprah Moments with jessica, and we talked about Eve. not about how she screwed up, but instead about how God actually intended for women to be... i love oprah moments!! i feel so close to these girls---i love them! so then, after lunch, everybody (guys and girls) got together at the church and threw a "surprise" birthday party for jeremiah... and i say "surprise" because he guessed what was happening and stevie was having a really, REALLY hard time being sneaky. subtlety isn't one of her strong points... :) but it was way fun and we all had some cake and blew those obnoxious noise makers... good times. :) matt neff and robby wouldn't leave jeremiah alone--they just kept blowing the noise makers in his ears, and they threatened that they would make perfect alarms tomorrow morning. i'm sure glad i'm not going to be around when those things go off in the wee hours of the morning!!!! :) i'll be sleeping soundly in the wonderful, peaceful, and quiet girls' apartment!!!! :) :)
tomorrow we have the morning off, and then we are doing Monster Mash at the elementary school that we volunteer at...it's their little halloween thing... then i have to get all packed because we are going to mammoth this weekend! it's more in the mountains, like six hours away, and we are going to be training for ski-dazzle...this thing that we sell ski stuff at. but i guess they really don't have to teach us that much, so we more get to go and relax, or at least have a sort-of vacation---yay for road trips!!! :) um...that's all! goodnight! :) :)
