summer time!


Eden, Chloe, Emma, and Andrew were so excited for Children's groups
this week at Northland Camp. Brent and I got to attend sessions at night.
This was an exciting week for the kiddos and they'll have a program for all
the parents on Friday morning.

Andrew being coached by his dad to go to 2nd...

Drew's 1st Tball game!


The introduction of the coach. What a big moment for #8!

They had to run the bases 3 times before the game. He got winded fast! :)

Andrew and his friend Jackson as partners.

Andrew takes a time out to learn to tie his shoe. Brent stepped in and helped him.

My dad (by 3rd base) followed Andrew for some "up close and personal" shots :)

Brent almost got in the way of the shot of Andrew's 1st time around the bases. We couldn't keep "DAD" off the field. He really should be the assistant coach :)

Madeline Fipps teaches the girls how to put on makeup (made of dirt) in the dug-out!
Such girly-girls!!

Andrew and his brother's newly decorated room!


Kim, an artist friend, I met through Trisha came over and painted a road on Drew's wall.
I bought the yellow electrical tape and cut it in strips and put that on the road.
Then, we put velcro on the wall and the back of some matchbox cars, so the boys will be able to still take them down and play with them. The letters are a paper mache type that I spray-painted green. The bunk beds were just given to us recently.
God is so good and His provision always so abundant!!




We will put the crib over here somewhere and clean up that bookcase :)

Emma's Spring Concert and Field Day


Andrew got in on the Field Day...

Emma was so glad we were there to cheer her on. Go RED TEAM!!

Emma was the anchor for Tug-of-war and they were struggling...

UNTIL...Andrew jumped in and saved all the girls!!
He was definitely their hero (as well as the teen who stepped in by the middle...noone knew where the "real" strength came from. ANDREW WAS SO PROUD!! :)

Emma and Alayna

My girl is done with the 1st grade. She's done for the summer and Andrew will go with her in the fall to K5. Then, I'll only have 3 at home.

Cowgirl Emma getting ready for the Spring Concert

She loves to sing. She even sang a solo at her school for chapel.
She's much braver than I am!!

chloe sings to eden

video
Chloe insisted on tucking Eden in bed for her nap.
She also prayed over her. Brent sings this song to the kids every night before bed.
I think his mom made it up when he was a kid.

Eden hiding under her bed!

Exercise time, they haven't done this in months since I've given up on aerobics for the time being!!

Eden's trying to do a sit-up!

Nanny came over and cut out spring flowers with the girls, since we're not seeing anything but WHITE around here!

VA and me.

Exciting soccer game in the basement...

VA told the girls to "spread out" so she could pass to them. This was the hilarious result!!
