I have not been taking many pictures lately because it has been raining and yucky outside. I heard it's suppose to be like this all month long. Days like these I miss California summers...ok, well maybe not the heat :) But seriously...rain, rain go away! We did have a fun weekend despite the dreary weather. Todd & I went to a birthday celebration for our friends Peter & Jessica's little tyke, Jimmy. We had a fun time eating and playing cards with the adults (during Jimmy's nap of course).
On Sunday we were invited over to a couple's house that we met at church. We just started attending a little Baptist church in our area and were wanting to get to know people. The couple also invited the pastor and his wife along with another young couple. We played games and ended up chatting about the pastor's fame on America's Funniest Home Videos. A while back (before we started attending our church) my Dad sent me a You Tube video of a humorous baptism. A kid does a cannonball right into the baptismal! As we were watching it again we thought the pastor looked very familiar, a lot like ours, actually. Lo and behold, it was our pastor. They won second place on AFV. So... here is the video if you have not already seen it (watch for the second kid).

I LOVE that video...everytime I watch it, just makes me crack up! Do you know anymore behind the story?
Basically the pastor (he is very funny & sarcastic) told us that to ease nervousness with junior highers being baptized, he would jokingly "double-dog dare" them into doing cannonballs. He never actually thought they would. So as it happens this was the first kid (in his 25 years of ministry)to take him seriously. Todd remembers the pastor also saying the kid in the video was one of the shyest kids in the junior high :)
