A Fun Night With Some Fun Friends

The other day we had some of our best friends over for dinner and afterwards all of the kids played, talked, and watched movies together while the parents talked downstairs.

We had SO MUCH FUN!!!

here are few photos that we took with Bria's "Nice Camera."

Jess playing the viola. 

A bad photo of me.

It looks too stiff and posed. 

A photo of Emily looking shy.

Pretty little Ellia.

And last but not least Ryan and Ashton being nuts together.

This Sweet Video Will Make You Cry.

Watch this movie and remember to pray for all of the orphans in the world who don't have a family to love them.


Who's lives don't have happy endings.


Who are running out of hope.

The Plants And Pillars Cake

The refreshments at the Film Festival were catered by Mrs. Kathy of Teaching Good Things .

She was so sweet to do that and we really do appreciate it.

As I was eating the cake it reminded we of when I was little(8?) and she taught me how to decorate cakes.

I never forgot what she taught me and I love to bake cakes!

Michael also loved this cake.

Nearly everyone who came early got led to the kitchen refrigerator to see her cake.

A Cute Little Friend

This is a photo that a friend took at the Film Festival of me and William.

We go to church with this sweet little boy and his family and we love to spend time with them all talking, laughing and playing with their sweet little kids.

Some Film Festival Photos- but only the beginning!!!

Here are a few photos of the Film Festival of last night. 

We took all of these but a real photographer with a really cool camera took all of the photos during the actual event so as soon as he finishes editing those I will post them.

For now here are a few of us setting up on Sunday and Wednesday and at 3:00 on Thursday.

Jamie and Sarah looking cute.

Ryan was super excited because his best friend was coming.

Water break!!!

Rachel has her programs to hand out.





Daddy and Michael W.

Michael and his wife, Rachel, were judges and he offered to do our sound for us but then he got sick with a really bad case of the flu and couldn't come.

More Photos

I found these deep in my draft box and didn't quite know what to do with them besides post them.

So...

Here are a few random photos from our day of filming with the Pierces and the Millers.

Sarah looking cute as usual.

Jessica(she is holding her black notebook which means that someone forgot their lines. He-he!!!)

JoHannah doing her best to look evil and sinister and all out suspicious.

Last minute costume work.

Jon and Joel sitting waiting for their scene.

Jamie and Michelle looking cute and BEHAVING...

Unlike Ryan and Joel who had a tug-o'-war.

Nathan the Judge.

And that's the last of the photos but...
The actual Film Festival is in less than 3 weeks so...
We are SUPER excited around here and making plans like crazy!!!

I will hopefully be able to post photos of that afterwards!!!

See ya then,
Erin
