From Jessica: Kyle's B-Day party

So Dad said he'd try to update the blog more often, but as you can tell he hasn't so I am... again
and I probaly will again.... and again...... and again...... and well, you get the picture. So today was Kyle's B-day and B-day party. Kyle had friends (David Becher and Andrew Sheppard, Micah Trusty, Charis Trusty, Josiah Trusty, Roz Trusty Kate Sheppard) and several family members come to his party(Cassie, Conner, Chloe, John, Mallorie, K.C. Megan, Natalie, Griffin, Susie, Brenda, Keith, Dawn, Alex, Baby Purdy, Gramma, Papa Grammy and Granddad, Me, Mom, and Dad) It was soooooo much fun . My Grandmother made an AMAZINGLY INCREDIBLY AWESOMELY COOL cake. It was like a castle and it was soooo AMAZINGLY INCREDIBLY AWESOMELY COOL. My grandmother is very talented!!!!! Kyle and his friends/cousins played football. (go figure) I think Kyle said his team won two times but the first time the game was more exciting. I'm not a big football fan. Now who's ready for some pics.

This is the end

Mini SLCC Reunion

Last Saturday a small group of us from St. Louis Christian College got together for sort-of-a mini reunion. We met at Cayuga Christian Church and spent the afternoon together. We had a very enjoyable day reliving some SLCC memories (watching some old videos), and catching up with each other as we shared stories of our life experiences. 13 adults and 18 kids!

The Marron Family

The Greene Family

The Thomas Family

The French Family

Beckman Daniels Family

The Trusty Family

The Purdy Family
(minus Jessica who was MIA at the time)

Updates Coming Soon

Just to let everyone know. My daughter does know how to spell her name. However, for some odd reason she likes to spell it with a "K." I think she does it just to drive her mother nuts considering Leanne is really annoyed when things are spelled in an unusual manner.

In an unrelated topic I want to let everyone know that I fully intend on updating the blog soon. And I intend on updating it more frequently. As they say "intentions never accomplished anything." But I will give it a noble try.

God bless

From Jessika

Hi!! This is Jessika. One of my cousins (Courtney Heller) made the comment on New Years day that Dad was horrible at updating his blog. And I completely agree with her!!!! So I convinced Dad to let me update the blog every once in a wile! So here goes........

On the Mon. after School was out Kate Sheppard, Andrew Sheppard, Charis Trusty, Micah Trusty, Josiah Trusty, and Roz Trusty came to our house to decorate cookies! Charis, Kate and I made a sleigh with Santa in it and
5 reindeer pulling it! Everyone made little Christmas trees out of ice cream cones and decorated them with m&m's and raisons and other eatable candies. We ate some and gave some to our neighbors, the Gebbhearts. We had a lot of fun!!

On Christmas Eve my grandparents on Mom's side came down and watched our church's Christmas program. Kate Sheppard sang a song called "Glory To Glory" and Kyle, me, and a few other kids from our church sang "Away in a Manger" during Kate's song. Kate did fantastic!!

At 6:30 on Christmas day, Kyle and I went bouncing into Mom and Dad's room. (It's the rule that we can't go see the presents under the tree until we go see Mom and Dad and read the Christmas story) After that we went out by the tree and saw all of the presents under the tree. Kyle's big surprise was a Brand new orange bike! He also got 2 Wii games, a toy gun, CDs, a magic kit, checkers, Narnia action figures, 6 pairs of jeans, gift cards, a jacket, and candy. I got a new bed spread, 2 books, a Nintendo DS and a game, a nail kit, a jacket, a pureNRG shirt and bag, and gift cards.That was just here! Next we went to Dad's parents' house.

On Dec. 26, 2008 we had Christmas with my Dad's parents. Kyle and I both got a lot of cool presents but the best present was seeing Alex's new shirt. It read "I'm gonna be a big brother"
That's right! In Aug. I'm gonna be a big cousin. (again)

On Tue. we went to Aunt Susie's house and celebrated the New year. And I am proud to say
(type) that I was one of the first people in this time zone to eat in 2009! I should be in a world record book! The next day was new Year's day and we celebrated the yearly Heller Christmas!
It was soooo much fun! All of my cousins on Mom's side were there! The hardest part was getting all 13 of us (ages 4 years - 20 years) to fit on one small couch!!! But it was still very very fun!!!

Now enough of my jibberish! Here are some pics!!
