Big Weekend

We had a really big day Friday. Max had Land Run Day at his school. It started before lunch and had a land run (of course), lunch on his "land", games, speakers, and cowboys. Max dressed up in cowboy stuff, including mustache, and Mattie wore an old time apron.

Max did the hula hoop race, the cast iron skillet toss, and the lasso. Max threw his skillet really high, you can see it in the sky in the picture. We had a really good time, and Max asked later if I had been in the land run. Mark said I should have said yes, and so was Nana and Papa, but they couldn't run as fast and that's why they live so far away.

Saturday we went to Tulsa to see Grandma Young. Mattie was worn out and didn't quite make it through her book on the trip back home.

Sunday was a big day for Max. He went down front at church Sunday morning to pray with Bro. Floyd, he will be baptized in two weeks. Bro Floyd gave Max the microphone and Max told the church, "I've been saved from the sin. Thanks for coming to Rancho Village Baptist Church. Amen." He did a great job, and we ate at Taco Bell to celebrate, Max's choice.

A few days ago, Mattie and I were waiting to pick Max up at school, and Mattie was drawing in the back seat. When we got home, I noticed something weird with her ears. She had used the pen and marked in both her ears. We had a long talk, with Max, too, about not sticking things in our ears. She felt really bad.
