It Isn't Summer Without VBS.....................


We had a fun and busy week last week with all 3 in Vacation Bible School. This was the first summer having the 3 of them at the same VBS together so it was a special moment for me:) The past 2 years the boys went to one that was held in the evening and they did not offer it for the real young kids so Faith went to the one from her preschool. Well this year they all went to the VBS held at the church where Faith attended preschool. Dean actually helped teach (2nd/3rd grade) and I am SO proud at what a great job he did. He put all his heart into it and he really enjoyed himself. The theme was an amusement park type theme called "Sonworld". Reed's class even went on a field trip to Six Flags! I had so much fun this week watching the 3 of them singing, learning, and having fun together! I know with the boys getting older days like these are going to be fewer and fewer so I also found myself a bit emotional. I also can't believe this was Faith's 3rd year attending this VBS! I was looking back at pictures of her first year and she was just so little..................

Faith's very first VBS 2006

The 3 of them dressed in their T's................

and ready to go!

It was a great week at VBS!!

Faith was really worn out by Friday with waking up early every morning and all the excitement from the week. We also had a few days of 110 temps (yep, I said 110!!! It was SIZZLING HOT!) and it was very draining!

Love the VBS photos. Wow, it is really hot there. Faith has a beautiful head of hair. Ana Claire told me I want my hair that long. LOL. Her hair is so thin.

How fun. I've taught at VBS for the last 6 years. It is so much fun. Our church did the "Power Lab" this year. Thats great that all 3 kids could go to the same one.
