VBS - Day 2

We had another great day at VBS,

everyday gets better and better!

I can't think of a better way to start off

you day than speding it teaching kids about JESUS!

Grace Anne and Drew are LOVING VBS!

I am so thankful to be apart of a church that loves

and ministers to children!

I did get a picture of Drew today, he was taking a ride

with his buddies!

This evening Grace Anne went to swim at a friends house

This was her first swim for the summer

She had a GREAT time!!!

Well, that is all for now!!! See ya tomorrow:-)

Boomerang Express!

It's that time of year again! VBS is underway!!! We had a great morning and ALOT of kids! I am teaching 1st grade again this year and Daniel is doing the Missions Class for 1st - 6th grade. It is a joy to see the kids get excited about JESUS! We are excited to see what God is going to do this week in the lives of the children and workers!

I will leave you with some pictures............

Daniel teaching to my 1st graders!

Grace Anne and her friend from school that she invited to VBS this week!

Well, that is all for today. Drew is not old enough to do VBS:-(. He was in the nursery, but he had a great time playing with friends! I will try to sneak over this week and get some pictures of him too!

Castless!!!!

The pink cast is GONE!!!!

Grace Anne was VERY excited to be FREE AGAIN!:-)

The doctor said that her arm looks great and the bone was healed. She has to take it easy for the next 3 weeks meaning NO swinging, climbing or riding bikes and etc., but the doctor said that swimming was the BEST exercise for her to do! That made her a HAPPY GIRL!!!!

She has done great today, the first few hours of having the cast off was hard. Her arm was SORE and it hurt to move it around, her arm was dry and her skin was burning. After LOTS of lotion and some TLC she is doing WONDERFUL! She is using her arm again and she said she is ready to take a BATH and relax in the tub!!!!:-)

Graduation Family Night!!!!

Last Night we celebrated the end of the school year

by having a "Graduation Night"!

We started off the night by making hats!

Then the kids got to pick what

games they wanted to play......

(my camera battery was dead,

so these pictures are from my phone)

we played musical chairs

and some board games!

For Dinner Grace Anne got to pick her favorite meal,

of course she picked BREAKFAST for dinner!:-)

During dinner we talked about Grace Anne's year

in Kindergarten and how proud we are of her.

She then said with at BIG grin, "1st grade HERE I COME!!!"

and Drew chimed in with "ME TOO!!!!". :-)

And this is what we had for dessert!

Drew said "This is a YUMMY dessert!!!"

It was a fun night of just hanging out

and doing what the kids wanted to do!

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!!!!

Our Summer has officially began! WOOHOO!

Grace Anne had a WONDERFUL year!

I can't believe we are now the proud parents of a 1st grader!

Here is Grace Anne on her 1st day of kindergarten

and here she is on her last day of kindergarten

Yesterday, Daniel and I helped with Kindergarten Fun Day!

Grace Anne was in the final for Musical Chairs

Who said you can't hula hoop with a broke arm?:-)

We all had a great time!

Now on to SUMMER!

I am very excited about having both of

my babies at home with me!

We don't have any "plans" for the summer,

but I am sure we will go on a

trip or two before the summer is over!

Power of Prayer........

I have a HUGE PRAISE!!!! Our friend Tami, that you all have been praying for, no longer has Hepatitis C!!!!! After 9 weeks of treatment, the virus is GONE!!!! Now, tell me that God is not AWESOME!!! You can go over to The Clabo's blog and check out what they have to say about the wonderful news!

However, please continue to keep Tami in your prayers, she still has to finish the treatments, so that means she has 15 more weeks of shots and feeling yucky.

Since this post is celebrating Tami and praising God for His healing, I wanted to add some pictures of this precious family.

We are truly blessed and thank God for bringing the Clabo's into our life. They are very special to us and are an answered prayer. Allen, Tami and Alexander, we love you and thank God for your love and friendship.

On May 22, we celebrated Alexander's High School graduation. As I have mentioned before in a post, Alexander is a GREAT kid! We are so proud of him and were honored to be apart of his special night.

Sleep over ~ Take 2

Saturday night we made our 2nd attempt

at having spend the night company!

This time it was a SUCCESS!:-)

No trips to the ER!!!

Grace Anne and Maggie had a GREAT time

playing dress up

coloring

playing games

and having "girl talks" in the bathroom!

I guess it is a girl thing, the bathroom is the place to go for

"girl talks"

and to get away from little brothers!

speaking of brothers, Drew wanted his picture taken too!
