Sister Time and Ginny Owens!!

Ginny Ownes, a christian recording artist, came to LeTourneau to speak at Chapel and to give a concert. Rebekah was asked to be her 'tour guide' and was super excited. Sarah introduced the girls to Ginny Ownes' music several years ago and they all became quick fans. Clifton football had a bye week, so Leah was able to go to Longview for a visit and the concert, but Hannah had to stay in Clifton to play volleyball.
Leah has so much fun spending some one-on-one time with sis Rebekah. She loved being the first to see Riley clap all on her own. Ryne made her visit extra special by taking them out to dinner and a movie!
Ginny was very funny and made the girls laugh a lot. She became totally blind at 3 yrs old. She lives by herself, (with her dog, which is not a seeing eye dog)in Nashville and teaches a college course on song writing when she is not traveling and doing concerts. I met Team RB in Chandler to pick up Leah on Sunday and was able to get a few minutes with Riley.
Rebekah is feeling much better these days. She is looks very good and we do not know if the next team member will be a guy or gal. Stay tuned for more news!
Thanks Rebekah, Ryne and Riley for having Leah. She really enjoyed her time with you guys. Can't wait to see you Homecoming!

Riley Visit!!!

Riley came and stayed for a week with us as Ryne and Rebekah started back to school. What fun we had! Riley is really a good baby and kept us laughing! She is crawling and is really fast. I couldn't get it taped for I tried to take a couple of pictures. She loves a cell phone and will crawl to get to one. That must be her mother in her! She went to visit with mom's friends at CISD. We went to volleyball games, football games, pep rallies and church! She was so busy...and loved it! She enjoys watching people and all the music had her dancing! Leah signed with her and Hannah sang/danced with her. Preacher slept with her and Honey played and loved on her! Thank you Ryne and Rebekah for letting her come to visit! Next time you come too!

Clifton Cub Pride!!!

The Clifton Pride is alive and well in Clifton. I love driving down Hwy 6 and seeing all the green flags flying on Fridays!!! It looks so cool! We also have new flags that say "Clifton Cubs" and four smaller flags that spell CUBS that are used at the pep rally and football games! The first pep rally for the season was so great! I haven't seen that much spirit in Clifton in a long time! Way to go Cubs! The volleyball team looks very strong and district will start next week. The band is already marching their show and sound amazing (0f course!). I know that most of you just want to see pics and not read all this, so there you go!

Back to School

Yea!! First day of school! I can't believe that Hannah is a SENIOR and Leah a Junior. I am so very proud of the both of you. Hannah leaves for school earlier than Leah so no group pictures! I guess I should get used to that. Hannah is taking some college classes, spanish 4, athletics and band. She is at school a full day. Leah is taking advance classes, spanish 4 and band/jazz band. They are very close and this will be a very special year for them!

A Quarter of a Century...

Happy Birthday Sarah!!! Twenty five years young. We had such a good time celebrating with Sarah and Mike. Leah made Sarah's favorite Strawberry cake using grandmother's receipe! There are many reasons that we love Sarah, but here are just a few...
Her Character
Her being "herself" and not conforming to others
Her love for those less fortunate
Her love for learning
and for being our daughter, sister and future wife!!!
