A little cream anyone?

To get the kids excited to go outside when it's 109' is a little difficult. So I thought they could paint each other with shaving cream and then go on the slip n' slide. 



It worked out pretty well!

Baby Brother

Awww, this is my baby brother, Phil and his girlfriend, Kelli.  They have been dating for almost 1 year. 
This is such a good picture I had to share and now possibly frame.

Surprise Ranger Game

Mark and all these guys surprised their friend, Michael-in the back to the right wearing the Rangers shirt, on his birthday and took him to a Rangers Game.  It was a fun night he said.  The majority of the guys go to our church so it's really fun to socialize with them as well as worship with them.

Water Fun

We visited another splash pad. 
And there is yet another one planned for Monday.
We love that all the ones we visit are different in some way.
Tony's going through the "human wash"
On a different day we had a pool playdate at a friends house.
Beautiful isn't!!
The rocks that you see in the middle and on both side are waterfalls.  I LOVED the sound.  This is my oasis...water.


That's Alex on the right in the red shorts.  He's swimming so well.  I'm so glad that this was the year that swimming just clicked.


VBS Week

We had our first VBS ever and it was great.  I taught the bible verse memorization's and music to all the preschoolers...47 of them!
Alex is in the back to the right have snack time with his class, the Grizzly bears.

Preparing all the name nags for the preschoolers.
And then getting ready to pray all together.
There were so many adults that came together to make this an awesome week for the community kids.
Praying before we start our day.
Isn't this precious.  They totally understand.
Gathering together in the sanctuary to have songs, prayer and get information before braking off into our bear groups.
Aliana and her friend, Kaylie
Isn't it wonderful to see so many children of God worshiping together.
We ending up having 175 kids, nursery to 6th grade.
Luke, Lacy, Alex, Tony, Aliana and Troy
Some more friends of ours.
People kept saying that Lacy (16 months) and Aliana (3.5 yrs) could be sisters. 
I think it might be the shape of the eyes and the skin tone.
See ya Troy, I had fun!
Every day we learned a new song along with the theme song that we did every morning.
This is a music sample of the songs.  I added links below so all the kids will be able to dance along with the music.

Awesome songs to learn with your kids.  It is Awesome Worship Time.
