Happy Father's Day

I am so thankful that God blessed Anna Grace and Walker with a daddy who loves them and me with all his heart.  I pray that God will guide him as he leads our family everyday.  I am also so grateful that Scott I both have fathers who are have demonstrated their love for us and who have pointed us to Christ all of our lives.  Happy Father's Day!

Amazing Wonders Aviation

The kids had an absolutely wonderful time at VBS and Music camp at church this past week.  They learned about missionaries, made crafts, played games, sang, and learned more about God's great love for them.  I am so thankful that our church is committed to sharing the message of salvation to children no matter their age.  We were thrilled that Charlotte asked Jesus in her heart this week.  There is nothing more precious than seeing a child give their life to Jesus. 

On Sunday night the kids from music camp presented the musical they worked on all week.  I  loved watching the kids do all the moves and sign language they had learned. 

Summer Fun

I thought when school was out things around our house would slow down, but it hasn't happened yet.  Here is what we've been up over the past few weeks.. 

Walker finished Golf academy. 

I guess he learned a lot because he and Scott came in 2nd in the TCC Parent-Child Tournament!

Lots of baseball!

Lots of watching baseball!

Walker has always loved Jeeps and has been saying that he wants an orange Jeep for his 1st car. 

 So we had to stop and get a picture when we saw one on at a dealership!

Bebe and Daddy Jim took all the granddaughters for their annual beach trip at the end of May. 

Lots of swimming

Anna Grace and Walker especially love to swim with Daddy! 

Hanging out with friends

Watching some Readbirds baseball.

And trying to rest a little in between all the summer fun!

Hanging out with Cousins

We always have a great time in Brandon with Nana and PopPop and Reid and Lily.  Anna Grace and Lily love playing together. 

They usually end up with glamming up with make-up, braids and heels!

This visit they even got to get manicures and pedicures!

Reid and Walker entertain themselves with Legos, Wii Games and Frisbees!

Gage and Ann Thomas came over on Saturday to celebrate PopPop's birthday.  The kids loved the water slide Nana and PopPop got for them. 

All the grands...Walker (8), Anna Grace (11), Reid (7) Lily (4), Gage (2), and Ann Thomas (1)

Happy Birthday PopPop!

AG wanted to make her own omelet so Nana just supervised.

Lily LOVES Chip ("Ship").  She follows him around all over the house!

Nana took the kids on a nature walk, but they didn't really see anything this time.

Before we left, the kids rode the zip line . . . forwards and backwards!

Even Lily got in on the action for the 1st time!

The boys waited patiently for their turns.



Goodbye School...Hello Summer

It is so hard to believe that school is over!  It seems like yesterday that I was taking their pictures on the 1st day of school!   Anna Grace ended her 5th grade year with Awards Day.  She got the Honor Roll Award, Good Citizenship Award, and Mayor's Marathon Award.

Walker's last day of school was hot and wet at Field Day.  All 2nd graders were given tshirts to wear the last day.  Wow!  Can't believe we only have 10 years before he is off to college!

Walker and all his buddies

Walker had a great 2nd grade year.  He made some really good friends and learned so much!  Now, bring on summer!!
