Beach Photos

Sweet Molly took a few family shots on the beach. 

Sorry for the picture overload!  I had too many favorites.  Which one do you like best?

Summer Vacation to Galveston

My sweetie planned a perfect week long get-a-way with the family at the close of summer.  We rented a beautiful beach house and had some quality family time together. The babies were very good on their 1st vacation and it was nice to spread out in the house.  Gameboy   bunked  with the twins and took good care of them. 

We played on the beach and at the pool every morning and late evening. We played lots of board games.  Even some oldies but goodies like Clue and electronic Battleship.  We watched lots of movies, worked on a puzzle and ate delicious food.   We got two day passes to Moody Gardens and I have tons of pictures to share from our time there.    Waiting to go into the aquarium.

Sweet Princess enjoying all the beautiful sea creatures.

Sarah and Sydney were so good and spent most of the day here.   

Our sweet friend Molly came along to help us with the kids.  She was so helpful and fun!  We loved having her join us and she took all these great pictures.  Thanks Molly!

Princess and Gameboy at the butterfly exhibit.   Here we are inside a rain forest.  It rained on us!! My sweet pirates.

Who knew we could ice skate in August in Galveston, but Moody Gardens had it all.

Sweet Sarah and Sydney on the ride home from our fun day. Stay tuned tomorrow for some fun pictures of the beach.  Thank you Lord for a wonderful trip!

Kids Camp 2010

My sweetie and I have the privilege to work with 4th and 5th graders every Sunday at church.  We love working with the kids and I learn a lot about Jesus in 5th grade Sunday school. One of the job perks is the opportunity to attend Kids Camp every year.  It is awesome time to get away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives and focus on the kids and learning about Jesus.   We love getting to know each child better.  Some of our favorite things about camp are rec time, capture the leader, worship, the kids talent show and cooling off with the kids in the pool.   This year my rec team beat my sweeties and you would think there was a cash prize involved. 

Go team PINK!!!!!

Every year the leaders dress up in camo and we play a giant game of hide and go seek.  Here is a picture from a few years back.

I love to watch the kids worship at camp and it is really neat to see lots of light bulb moments when they learn something new about Jesus.

This year I thought it would be fun to tie dye shirts.  It was fun, but after doing 125 t-shirts I won’t be tie dying anytime soon. My favorite park about camp this year was watching Princess enjoy all of camp for the first time.

She loved every minute of it!

Studying the Bible.

Thank you Lord for a wonderful camp. What a blessing!!!

10 months old

My sweet girls are 10 months old and moving!  They are cruising around the furniture and don’t want to sit still and have their picture taken.  Here are some of my attempts to get a cute picture together.  I wasn’t successful, but I guess it is a good snapshot of our life right now.

I love how they are always touching each other. 

So sweet.

I wonder what Sydney is thinking here.

Whatever it was Sarah sure thought it was funny.

I think this is the best one of the day.

Really mom can we please go play?

 

Thanks mom!

Sarah is on the move always looking for Sydney. Sometimes there aren’t enough toys and it is funny to watch them wrestle for something.We try not to get involved and they usually get over it pretty quickly.  Sarah and Sydney we love you!!

Gameboy is 7!

See this cute baby who used to play peek a boo with me inside the kitchen cabinets. He is still cute, but he is definitely not a baby anymore. It hard to believe he is 7! The time has gone by so fast and this boy has brought so much joy to our house. He is funny, smart, and has a heart of gold. We wanted to celebrate his big day in a special way so we had a party at one of his favorite places.You can tell by the look on Gameboy’s face that he was so excited about his big day. In fact, it was his favorite birthday ever. He loved seeing his friends and playing laser tag. All the boys had a great time and their #1 goal was to beat Daddy!

Gearing up to play.

Everyone played lots of rounds, but Daddy always came in first. Then we ate pizza and cake. Gameboy wanted a giant cookie cake this year.

Gameboy is blessed with good friends who made his party special.

He got lots of great gifts. His favorites include legos, a portable Dvd player, Wii Mario Galaxy 2, and Wii Harry Potter. Gameboy I pray that this is a wonderful year for you. You are so special to us!
