Team Impact pictures!!

CJ shows off his strength by ripping phone books in half. After the show the first night, N was disappointed that she was not able to get a "souvenir" from the stage. CJ asked what was wrong & N told him she had wanted a phone book. Well, CJ picked up another phone book and ripped it in half just for her. Of course, A wanted the other half, so we have a complete phone book. A mostly complete phone book.

This is Shawn, though when he wrote his name, I really couldn't figure out how he spelled it. He took a small piece of cloth and wrapped it around a 16 penny nail. He then took the nail and drove it through a piece of wood. No hammer needed for this guy.
You know what a hot water bottle is, right? CJ blew up a hot water bottle like a balloon. Until it popped.
Shawn was asking the crowd for some encouragement. Driving a 16 penny nail through a piece of wood was not enough. Sunday night, he took another 16 penny nail and put it through a skillet. And then he rolled the skillet up to look like a burrito. N told me she wanted that skillet, but I was glad I could convince her a piece of broken wood was just as good!
And finally..... Lifting the telephone pole. Shawn bench pressed it and CJ did a clean jerk & press. (At least that is what Michael called it) When we were preparing for the storm, Michael & I moved this pole from the front of the church to the back. It is ridiculously heavy and for one man to pick it up is just amazing!!

Mom~ the pictures of N opening her gift are coming soon! I love you!

O.K. so how long are you going to allow them to keep the torn up phone book pieces?

Julie, thanks for posting the pictures. They are quite impressive. I'm glad the girls got "souveners".

Torn phone book pieces will most likely last another week. I think I can ignore them that long!
