At home you can just be you....Koolaid faced sweatpantsed you. Enjoy your weekend!

Harley the horse

This weekend, Sophie embarked on her first ever birthday party without big sister Olivia! Her best buddy, Abbey, from preschool invited her to the Jester Park Riding Stables for a 4th birthday party. The invitation said, "princess party" and so, I dressed Sophie in a pink skirt with tights and princess shoes. Then we showed up and realized we had to walk through a LARGE parking lot full of mud (courtesy of our 50 degree day) mixed with horse manure and gravel. We also then realized that we were actually going to be riding the horses. Thus the name "riding stables". I guess I just thought they rented a room there or something. Ner. So, here is a not so good quality photo of Sophie riding her horse, Harley, in her dress and princess shoes and helmet. Heck yes.

This is a story that was told in our church today. It is one that can only be appreciated to its core by this background: the coach is a devout follower of Christ. He loved his players, and he especially loved Jason. This is what God will do for those that love him. He leads us to do things for others out of love. And sometimes, He takes those acts of love and just celebrates them!

I expected one.......but 6?!

I am overwhelmed by this, not because of the shots, but because of the players, team, coaches, and the crowd's support. This is what community should be.
