Old Spirit Week at School

While we were in Oregon the kids in Phoenix had "Old Spirit Week" at school during their lunch hour. All the classes (Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors competed). These are some of the pictures showing Jennifer, Joshua, Heather and Sheri supporting their respective grades. The Senior class won the week but everyone put in a great effort and had their days! Love these pictures. Look at Joshua go for the ball (WOW) and doesn't Heather look cute with her face decorated "Grin"! Jennifer lookig cute participating and of course Sheri Babe with the winning Seniors!!! Thought you would enjoy seeing these! (Oh...if you look closely at the group picture you can see Nicholas "he's in yellow hint hint" and some of the others.

Crusader's First Game is a Win!!!! Go Justin

Justin played in his first school football game of the season for the Northwest Christian Crusaders with a big win over the Phoenix Christian Cougars. It was really hot out there and we were impressed how well both teams played in the heat. Justin is on the first string so was in on quite a few plays. Great game Crusaders...Great game Justin...can't wait to see more of them this season.
