so. much. fun.

the boys have had a week filled with...
fun.
scripture memorizing.
songs.
dancing.
friends.
good food.
crafty goodness.
missions.
prayer.
and more fun.
so much fun, in fact, that i'm praying they sleep all the way home to kentucky tomorrow!
i should probably start praying that prayer now.
hold on.
ok, i'm back.










after jett sang this song he spotted me.
and then ran to me.
and then wanted no part of standing on stage.
so, he sang his songs from his seat.



we're already looking forward to next year!

another successful night.

my boys are having a blast at VBS.
there were 275 kiddos there on sunday night.
God is so good!

i took these photos in the worship rally.
at the end of their singing time they take an offering for a specially chosen ministry.
the boys and girls are asked to bring in pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters all week.
every night they not only turn their spare change in, they battle it out.
if the girls win then the childrens director gets to ride the 'covered wagon' out.
if the boys win the the worship leader gets to ride the 'covered wagon' out.
of course, the kids all get very excited and hoot and hollar through the whole ordeal.
it is SO FUN to watch!!!



the girls won tonight.
boo.

here's a peek at jake's classroom.
he has three college age teachers.
the are all so great!
(the hubs actually taught the two guys in his sunday school class a few years ago.)
one of them, jack, built the bunkbeds that are used as a prop in the classroom.
jake thinks they are SO COOL.


thank you jessica, jack, and zak for making this week special for jake.

VBS is off to a great start!

it's that time again.

saddle ridge ranch.
yee-haw, cowboy's.
i'm talking about vbs.
vacation bible school.
at fort caroline baptist church.

i think i look forward to this week every summer even more than my boys do.
and this year jett can go without me being a helper.
yay!
five nights.
two hours and forty-five minutes with no screaming, arguing, "he touched me" boys.

more than that, it's a time of learning.
they will learn a new bible verse every night.
they'll learn to play well with others.
they'll learn new songs.
new dances.
make new friends.
make lasting memories.
it's going to be an amazing week.

pictures to come.
