Congratulations Filmweavers!  

"The Penny" is the winner of the Best Feature Film Award at the 2010 SAICFF!

ALSO

"The Cripple Effect" is the winner of the Best Promotional Media Award

We thank the Lord for the many young film makers represented at this Film Festival.  These spiritually committed young people are rising up to challenge the anti-Christian, anti-family Hollywood film industry.  Their desire is to impact the culture while glorifying Jesus Christ.  I don't know about you, but this gives me encouragement and hope.  Let's support these folks with our prayers. 

Psst:  Nate was Recordist and Sound Designer for both of these films.  We are proud of you Nate.

News on The Penny

Click here:   The Penny .  

“The Penny” is a drama/thriller that follows a series of seemingly insignificant events in a number of people’s lives. Hidden amidst their “bigger” problems, these disconnected pieces of their lives go unnoticed until they begin to fit together in a totally unexpected way. Suddenly these strangers are thrust together by what some would call luck, chance, fate, coincidence, or even destiny. But is it something even bigger than that?

You know I still haven't seen it.  ( it's not released yet)  I can't wait.

Howdy!

Whoa it's taken about a month to get over and recover from the virus I had. Believe it or not, my voice is still not back to normal.  Haley has had it for two weeks and two days and finally has no more fever! Still coughing though.  Hooray it is on its way out. 
So, what have we been up to you ask.  (you did ask didn't you?)

Well - - - - - - - - - nothing.  But I'm happy to report that I have pictures that I am finally going to post that confirm that we did have life before virus.  Now don't you just feel better??
(you don't have to answer that)

It's fall and that means pumpkins and corn mazes.  Here is this year's "Team Jones". 

Wouldn't you follow them through a 11 mile maze? 
Tom you remind me of Teddy Roosevelt in this picture.  

Each year the maze has a theme.  This year was the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America

They're off!

Uncle Tom, Aunt Karilyn and the "cousins". 

You can follow the maze in such a way that you get to punch all of your numbers.

 

Not where you thought you were??

At the beginning of the maze you could get a paper with questions.  If you answered it correctly then it told you the right direction to go. 

 

Our beloved Becca.  Does she know where to go?

Here they are on one of the three bridges throughout the maze.

 Beautiful Day!  Tall Corn!

Can you imagine how different it is to go through this after dark.  "grin"

 Notice who is NOT leading.  "smile"  She prefers to stand back and watch.

 

Looking down on the maze from the 3-4 story tower.  

 

 

They had a really long zip line that you could ride down from the tower, but that was expensive.  They had other lines that were free. 

Elli.

They had more options of things to do go karts etc. 
Great fun not to mention lots of chatting. (Haley's commentary)

Maybe next year we can get a big group again.  How about after dark?  "wink"

Yep we're home!

Haley and I have been home for almost a week now.  I haven't posted because I'm sick.  Some kind of respiratory thing.  I'll have to catch up later when I stop coughing and start feeling better.

Swimming on a hot afternoon!

Kyle came in this afternoon after working in the store and asked Alaina if she wanted to go swimming?  Oakland has a really nice community pool.  She was so excited that we could barely catch her to get her dressed.

Here she is all slathered in sunscreen and ready to roll!

Come on Dad let's go!!

After they got back she came running into the house with one shoe on and one shoe off. 

We had NO trouble putting her down for a nap!  wink 
Kyle you are a really fun Daddy!
