August 17th Recap – Armour Up Undefeated

2016-08-18T00:00:00-06:00

Well THAT was fun.  Our first ever AU Parent's Night was a hit, and we appreciate all of you who made the effort to attend.  I laughed so hard because we thought we were dismissing the parents after Will's message so the kids could play dodgeball, but NO.  You guys stayed and actually played!!  You rock.  Seriously.  I don't really understand the pointing, though.  Must be a guy thing.And what's not to love about a dad that's so committed they will play in their dress clothes?  Thank you, well dressed competitor.And thank you, parents, for showing up in a big way.

August 3rd Recap – Armour Up Undefeated

2016-08-04T00:00:00-06:00

All it takes is seeing a smile like this to encourage us to keep on doing what we do.  We had a blast last night!  Thank you for continuing to send your kids each week.  It's fun to welcome the kids back in town as July vacations and camps come to an end.  We asked the kids to raise their hands if they were glad to be back and here's what we saw. Or MAYBE we asked them to raise their hands if they'd like for the AU CREW eat mystery tacos.Either way, we got a great response.Will delivered a great message about [...]

What a FANTASTIC time we had at AU last night!!  Our projector was back in working order, our crowd was unusually large for this part of the summer, and our energy level was HIGH.  Thank you so much for sending your kids!!   I cannot stress enough how much we look forward to our Wednesday nights with them.You want to know the one place where Sooners, Aggies, Longhorns & Bears actually get along?  It's AU College Gameday of course.  College Gameday is the most anticipated theme of the summer.  And lots of kids brought their A game, so to speak.Not only [...]

2016-06-24T00:00:00-06:00

Another wonderful week in the books!  Thank you for continuing to send your children to Armour Up - Wednesdays are hands down our favorite day of the week!  Even though the PCBC projector was down again this week, Nathan and Will worked their magic and rolled with the punches.  It is amazing to watch these two rebound when things don't go their way.  Way to go, guys!  Judging by our kids' expressions, I don't think they minded the digital hiccup:Click here for Will's message about serving others: https://soundcloud.com/armour-up/armour-up-undefeated-week-4-message-serveClick AU Newsletter 6.22.16 for the latest AU news.  **If your child is involved in service projects or mission [...]

Did we have fun on Wednesday night?   Hmmm...let me think about that.One look at the following Dallas Mavs fan says it all.  Unequivocally, the answer is yes.  Nothin' But Net was a huge success and we had a ball (pun intended)!!Here's a great video of the night in case you are stuck in a grocery line and have time to watch (note: please click on the title of this post in order to view the video as it will read as an error if you are receiving this via email).And here is an audio link to Will's incredible message:  https://soundcloud.com/armour-up/armour-up-undefeated-week-3-message If you [...]

Gearing up for Summer 2016

2016-01-04T00:00:00-07:00

Planning is fully underway for another unforgettable summer with Armour Up.  (If I had not worked in retail, the concept of thinking about summer in January would really stress me out.  However, I have mastered the art of ordering 'resort wear' while donning my north face & uggs.) We pray you had a wonderful break with your family, and were able to celebrate Jesus' birth in a meaningful way.  I have heard of families choosing a Bible verse, a theme, or even just a word to meditate on as they begin the new year.  I absolutely love that idea.  After our most recent road [...]

We Will – Final AU Recap 8/19

2015-08-20T00:00:00-06:00

Not too long ago I asked my three sons separately what they thought MY number one goal in life was for them.   If you think about it, this is a scary question to ask young people.  They are brutally honest.  Their answers could quite possibly reveal where we spend all of our money, time and energy as a family, whether intended or not.  Could it be that we (my husband and I) have stressed the importance of good grades over anything else?  Could it be that we've placed such a high emphasis on sports that they walk away thinking that [...]

We Will – Armour Up Recap 8/5

2015-08-06T00:00:00-06:00

Don't let this sweet face fool you... We had a WILD night with bubble soccer!!!!  Seriously.  Legs were flying in the air.  Don't believe me?  Just take a look. Now I know why the waivers were necessary. As was extra oxygen. (#claustrophobiaanyone?) If I could have videoed the kids as they came into the gym last night, that is what I would have shown here.  Each one was super excited about this night and fun was had by all.  Well, almost all.  We did have a few minor injuries.   And I might have had to unwrap the first aid kit [...]

We Will – Armour Up Recap 7/29

2015-08-02T00:00:00-06:00

Before we recap, please remember that Armour Up is MOOOVING NEXT WEEK (and for the remainder of August) to Biggers Gym (5817 Hillcrest).   A HUGE thank you to PCBC for allowing us access to their amazing Activities Area for the months of June & July.  What a gift.  (My backyard is applauding right this very minute that its hosting gig is up.)  PCBC is hosting a volleyball tournament in August, therefore PCBC's activities area will no longer be available for AU. Not only are WE moving to Biggers next Wednesday, but our AU store (& its employees) will be relocating [...]

We Will – July 22nd Recap

2015-07-24T00:00:00-06:00

I think these guys summed up Wednesday night's Armour Up best... We think it does too, gentlemen. To say AU GAMEDAY was a huge hit with the kids is an understatement.  There's something about putting a jersey on a boy that elicits AWESOME expressions.  There was some of this (aka the 'open mouth')... A little of this (aka the 'game face').. And a LOT of this (aka the 'I love Oregon even though someone is about to take a bite out of my right hand face')... The kids enjoyed sporting their favorite teams, but I have a hunch our leaders did [...]
