The latest and greatest from Brian ;-()

For all of you people (my wife) who follow this blog, I'm sorry that I haven't made a post in a while. I have been pretty busy with school, and regular family life. Last week we got some great news. We are having a boy. His name will be Cohen Matthew. Landen and Lily got to see the baby on the ultrasound. That was a fun experience for the kids.As far asschool goes, I just wrapped up my class on Christian education. My teaching assignment went well, and I ended up with an A in the class. Online classes are kind of tough for me becuase you don't get much feedback on your work. I like to be told in a lot of detail how I am doing and what I need to improve on.
I just started Theology, The Person and work of Jesus Christ. This class seems like it is going to be really good. A lot of reading and papers to write, but I think that I will like it a lot.

This past weekend we had a pretty good time at the beach. Except for those sting rays. That kind of made Breanna and I nervous about having the kids near the water, but they had a blast. You could really walk out ten feet and count three sting rays swimming around. I have never seen that before.

Camping out

Well we made it through 2 of the coldest nights that we have had in a while. I picked a perfect time to go camping out in a tent. J/K We had a great time though. We went on a few hikes, ate a bunch of smores, and made a few friends. Overall we had a great time. Landen wanted to go back the day after we made it home.

The USS ALABAMA

Landen and I spent Monday going over to Mobile and visiting the USS Alabama. There was so much more to do there than just the Destroyer. They have the submarine, which Landen thought was "just his size," tons of planes, and even tanks. My legs were kind of soar after going all the way up to the bridge. That was really cool. The best part about the trip was that when he started to get rowdy, I just threw him in the brig.

Blessing of the Bikes 2009

Landen and I spent the morning at the 2009 Blessing of the Bikes at First United Methodist of Gautier. When it was all said and done, there was probabl about 800 people and 600 bikes. Unfortunately, I only had about 200 gospel tracks. Everybody there ate up the million and billion dollar bills. I went dowm row after row handing them out. When I got the end of a row and I looked back, I saw a couple dozen people reading the back of the bills.

Landen even asked to pass out some. He went around handing them out saying, "Did you get your million dollars yet?"

We ran out pretty quick, but the Christian Motorcycle Association does a good job of preaching a good message to the bikers before they get their bikes blessed.
