Kids Kamp

This year for kids kamp I was back in the preschool program.  Hannah was able to join in since I was teaching.  My friend Julia and I served together and had a great time with the little ones.  We discovered that we make a pretty good team and are looking forward to being leaders together in the Cubbies ministry at church this year.  Yay for those little preschoolers...they are precious in His sight!  












Philip and Rebecca's Wedding

This is such a special couple!  Rebecca was a senior in the youth group when we first arrived at FBC.  We hit it off right away and have been friends since.  It's neat to see how God brought Rebecca and Philip together and w look forward to seeing how He will used them for His glory.

 Rebecca's parents surprised them with paper lanterns...
 they looked SO beautiful...what a special night.  (do you see the heart shaped one?)

Let's Go Fly A Kite

Kite flying was first time experience for Hannah that she had been looking forward to all summer.  We happened upon a princess kite brand new at a garage sale and had been saving it for the perfect day.  This was a beautiful breezy summer day.  We were in Ohio visiting family...so we went for a walk with Grandma and found this open field to fly a kite in.  It was almost too windy...but we got it up.  Hannah had so much fun!

Our Little Reader

Hannah has always loved books and lately has shown an interest in reading.  She's been learning to read sight words with good 'ol Dick and Jane.  This video is kinda dark...but you can hear her reading....it sure blesses this kdg teachers heart.  :)

Our Week at Lake Ann

Here are some highlights of the rest of the week at Lake Ann...these pics are mostly of our family...I took so many of the kids...it would take years to put them all up here.  

Fight Night....a night of plain 'ol messy fun...takes us back to our camp days.  The Lake Ann Fire Dept. comes in to hose off the kids.  Hannah loved seeing the fire trucks.  We thought it was so adorable how she stood there with her umbrella.  At one point she really did use her umbrella to block a big gush of water from getting her.

 This is the woods right outside of our cabin.  Hannah snuck around looking for a moose I think...it was too cute.  
 One day while daddy was doing some work, the kids and I went for a walk.  Hannah found this butterfly and we spend a good amount of time watching it, catching it, releasing it and catching it again.  Hannah had SO much fun!  

 precious...





 this is how we spent a lot of the week.  Hannah running and running and Isaac riding on the front of Mommy...I love my kids!
 We also spent lots of time at the farm...this is my little farm girl at heart...

 Hannah loved going to Jr. Chapel.  By the end of the week she knew all of the songs.  It was fun to watch her praising Jesus with the other kids.  
 Here's Hannah on her bed in our cabin.  She got to sleep on a top bunk for the first time ever (we lined suitcases along the side because mommy and daddy were still nervous).  She said that one of her favorite parts of the week was getting her very own special bed on the top bunk.
