Bella is involved in the National FFA organization at school. This club is really strong in our community and the teachers who oversee it do an amazing job at developing these students into leaders. National FFA Week was a couple weeks ago and during that week, Bella and several other classmates, were recognized for earning their Greenhand Degree.

We are so proud of her!

As part of the fun that week, there was an annual basketball challenge between the Hope and Columbus FFA chapters.

It was fun to watch Bella and the other kids play each other.

Andy, Graydon, and Curtis have been really getting into bowling lately. They've been going to the lanes each Saturday and at least one night during the week as well. Last Sunday, Graydon really wanted Bella and I to come and play with them, so we made it a family outing. Bowling isn't really my thing, but when my preteen son wants me to join him in something, I join him!

Curtis was having a rougher night. His record is something over 100, but the pins just weren't falling for him that day. Me, however, with a score of 76 is about as good as it gets!

I love hanging out with our family! :)
