Growin' like a weed!


Recently, Sarah Ellen has been shooting up like a beanstalk! When we first got here to Mozambique, lil' Sarah was shorter than Bethy! Now she is even with Gracie! Woah! Sunday, Kent had Sarah Ellen and Gracie stand back to back, he put a level on their heads and sure enough, they were the exact same height! Unbelievable! She's just gunna keep sprouting up! 

Family Time!

Sunday afternoon all the Woodbulls got together for some family time! It's been over 2 months since we last did something fun together as a family. 

We (the Bull side of the family) got to the Wood's place around 12:30. Bethy made a scrumptious lunch of potato salad (with pickles! Yum!), pickles, and sloppy joes! Speaking of Sloppy Joes, I have a question. When eating Sloppy Joes, is the meat called the Sloppy and the bread the Joe? Some people say yes and others say no, so thought I'd ask our readers and see what you guys think :)

Okk, back to what we did :) After that delicious lunch, we played Murderer in the Light. At first we could guess the murdered in the first round (what can I say, we all know each other to well :) ) ... But after the first couple of rounds it took us a while to figure out who it was. 

Here's some pictures of us playing :) 

Ah! Kent's winking! Benaiah's scared... runnn...

Time for "Who do you think did it?". Sarah Ellen has her accusation ready... The 2nd looks a lil' lost and as for Gracie... haha.. who knows :)

Bethy and I :) Aw! I love my older sis! (Anddd for those of you who didn't know... Bethy will be turning 18 in 11 days! Wow!)

Haha.. not sure what was happening here. Kent making sure Gracie wasn't the murderer and lil' Andrew hopping on for the ride :P


Woah! Close up of lil' Andrew =oO

And Benaiah... he looks a lil' lost :P

The Sarah's petting Sparkle. Aww what a cute dog! 

Bethy was on a delicious cooking spree :) She made these...umm... I'm not sure what they were. They were like a donut type texture covered in chocolate and coconut :) Mmmm... She is one amazing cook! 

Just hanging out as a family :D


After playing Murderer in the Light, we played Charades! Kent, Gracie, Sarah Ellen, Benaiah and I were on a team and Dot, Bethy, Ian, Lil' Andrew and the 2nd were on another one. It was fun!! Our team did open heart/bypass surgery extremely exaggerated :) And flying on an airplane... with a fat guy, annoying kid and that person who always leans their seat way back in your lap :) Haha! ... The other team did a scene from Pride and Prejudice and Pirates of the Caribbean. It was fun! 

When we were done with Charades we went outside, sat in a circle and threw the volleyball back and forth. Every time you had the volleyball though you had to say one memory about being Woodbulls or even before. :D It was really neat to hear all the different memories that we all have :) We have had some good times together!!! I love my family! :D 

After finishing that game we started to plan another Parent Appreciation Night! Yeah! Those are always loads of fun! Can't wait to have another one :) We're planning on having a winter theme... haha... but it'll be the middle of our summer... which means HOT! :P Oh well, it'll be fun! 

Unfortunately, time always flies by way to fast when we're all together as Woodbulls, and pretty soon it was time to head home :(... But we had one awesome afternoon together getting to laugh, play games, hang out, and just enjoy each other's company! :D
