Church Campout

After VBS this year we went with the church on their annual campout. It was up in the Northern Cascade Mountains in Washington.

It was absolutely beautiful!!! There are just no words to describe it!! We went on a couple hikes with the church, one to a dam and then to some waterfalls. Honestly didn't want to leave... except to maybe get some clean clothes :) That and I think Layne (Jason's mom) was a bit cold. She spent most of the campout enjoying the fire.

VBS 2010

I have so many great pictures of VBS this year but unfortunately I can't post them on this blog because they have other kiddos besides just mine.

This VBS was my training to be the new Children's Ministry Director at Oak Harbor Church of Christ. It was the first time I have every planned a VBS by myself. Man I had so much fun with it!!! I picked the them SonHarvest Fair. You know that so FITS me, haha! The curriculum was all about learning the fruits of the Spirit. I am happy to say that even I learned something new. I have a terrible time memorizing verses and I was able to memorize 5:22

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Of course, more impressive is that the kids learned it too, haha!

It was a wonderful experience and I learned a lot about the planning of VBS that I will be sure to put into practice next year. Overall I think it was a success!

Double Birthday

This year Noah and I celebrated our birthday together. We wanted to make sure Mamaw got to be here for Noah's birthday and we wanted to do something special. The day Toy Story 3 came out at the drive in was on my birthday, so we took our "party" there. Noah and I opened all our presents in the back of the truck before the movie started. Noah has been wanting a "real" buzz lightyear so that was his big present this year. He was SOOOOO excited and watching the movie with his new buzz was the best! My momma got some great new cookbooks for me and the boys picked out some beautiful jewelry for me. It was a wonderful birthday for both of us!
