Last night we had Jake and Hayden over for a while. Here are the dynamic duo chilling out watching Ice Age. Before this they also had proceeded to strip all the pillows and blankets off of my bed and have a wrestling match and jumping contest. :) On a side note, Aaron comes home from camp today - better get ready to go fire up the washing machine.

Playing with Ry

Today Rachel and I had Rylan over for the day. We ate at Chick-fil-a, hit a couple of stores, and they spent the day playing. I only had to mediate one argument....over who got to play with the plastic cockroach. !?!?!?!?! We also played several games that they made up including "alligator..bunny...frog" & "pin the tail on the pretend bunny". That one involved me running around the house while they tried to tag me on the behind with a potholder. Whatever it takes to keep everyone happy.

Sunday

Every Sunday should be a great day, but sometimes you just have an extra good one. :) This is the day the Lord has made...I will rejoice!

After a wonderful week of VBS the kids sang a couple of their songs for everyone one more time. Here's Ms. Priss modeling her dress. For the record she did sing too.

My nephew David sporting a snazzy tie. I believe Jake (in front) is doing his best pirate expression!

My neice Madelyn started out in the middle of the pack of kids where she couldn't be seen. Halfway through she made it to the front of the pack to see her Daddy.

Everybody was in the singing mood!

We celebrated a baptism. Sydney has Parkinson's and somedays finds it difficult to even walk. But he said nothing would stop him from being baptized as soon as possible. With help from several men of the church he was baptized today

Here Dusty is reading Sydney's testimony before his baptism.

After all this we had a picnic at the park with our Sunday School class. No pics...too busy eating brownies! Packing Aaron up for camp; he leaves tomorrow. It's just been a good day. We have a wonderful family, a great church family, special friends, and an awesome God. We are truly blessed.
