Week Together: Saturday-Sunday

Saturday morning (Dec. 13th) Mom and Dad (Turnbull) headed off to Zambia. (Another long story :) If you want to read more you can go here...

As, for the Bull kids, we stayed back in Nampula with the Woods. As Gracie put it, "We (the Woods) dull the pain for the Bull kids when their parents are away." It's true! The Woods make us feel right at home and take care of us like we were their own kids :) It's our home away from home :) Anyways, Satuday morning the Wood's picked up Sarah Ellen and Lil' Andrew (Ian was at a sleep over and Dot and I were babysitting that night so we were going to their house later) and brought them to their house. We didn't do much Saturday. I think they played some volleyball with another missionary family that is visiting, and that's about it. 

Sunday morning we sisters wore our African dresses. Bethy and Gracie also had some but we didn't take a picture together :(

Later in the afternoon we took naps :P hehe, and played volleyball (no pics sorry) it was a blast! Sisters against brothers. The girls beat the guys on the first round 21-20. Then the second round the guys whooped us 21-1 and for the third :P hehe 21-2. It was a fun game though! After volleyball and dinner we watched Beethoven and went to bed :)

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

Woodbulls together for a Week: Day 5

Sunday! :) Sunday was church. :) It was nice being able to understand what was said during the message! (Thank you loads Kent for translating!) And then it was just a lazy Sunday afternoon:) Bethy, Dot and I tried to take a nap (Cause we were all tired... Gracie and I had stayed up till 3am talking! Eek!).. haha.. but to no avail! We even tried not talking for 10 minutes.. which didn't do much since we grabbed Bethy's cell phone and started typing out what we wanted to say and then show it to everyone... hehe.. Later in the afternoon the Wood's next door neighbors from when the lived in the apartment came over to visit! It was nice getting to meet these people who I've only heard stories about :)

Later that night we played mafia :)

Voting...

Aw, someone wasn't anyone.. ;)

Sarah and Andrew were the Doctors... who to save... who to save..

hehe... from Andrew's face it looks like the saved the right person... but Sarah doesn't look that way;)


It was a fun game :) :) And Aunt Julie made a great Narrator!! :)

Day 8: Sunrise Service, Family, Church time, Rook, the Beach and Walking... What a wonderful Sunday!

On Sunday morning, we rose bright... well dark... and early;) we walked down to the beach and sat up on some rocks to watch the sun rise:) We were about 5 feet from the ocean. We got to sing hymns and worship songs while we were sitting there! It was wonderful to get to praise our marvelous, magnificent Creator, while watching the waves crash and the sun rise! God is Amazing!

The sun peeking out through the clouds! I love the sun rays!


Everyone on the rocks:)

Uncle Ken and Aunt Lisa watching the sunrise:)

We serve an AWESOME God!!!!

He is the Indescribable Creator!!!

Bethy, myself, and Gracie watching the sunrise.

Trying to do lil' kid smiles:)

Feet:)

Cool flowers on a tree:)

After church time with our separate families, we hung out together:)

hehe, Kent and Gracie thinking... I think

After lunch, we played Rook, well just Bethy, Kent, Uncle Charles, Damarise and I (We didn't take this pic;) )

Then Kent, Bethy, Damarise and I walked outside of the Palms to see what was around. It was a blast!

Bethy, Damarise and I 'followed' the signs, like we did when we first met the each other. Hehe, it brought back a ton of memories:) We were stuck at this stop sign for a while thought, cause Kent wouldn't say "go" for us ;) hehe.

And back at the Palms!

What a WONDERFUL day!!!
