VBS is the BOMB!

So last week we were in Oklahoma City doing VBS for Inner City OKC. What an amazing week! We came back exhausted, excited, challenged, and ready to do more than we ever have before. Not only did we have an incredible week of ministry, but I had the opportunity to spend some time with my family and very precious friends. If you don't have a facebook page you need to get one. Not to long ago I bit the bullet and bowed to the facebook fad. It is very cool!


I said all that to say how great to catch up with high school friends and people we have gotten aquainted with through ministry. One of my best friends in high school brought her family and met my family for lunch one day. I sooo enjoyed catching up and getting a chance to meet her family. My sides still hurt from laughing as we talked about old times. We are for sure legends in our own minds!


It was also great to be able to see my parents and my Memaw while I was there. I was however, very bummed that both of my nieces were sick and didn't get to come. I miss those little girls more than I can begin to express!

The students that went on this trip were absolutely amazing. They worked and worked hard everyday. There was never a task or request they didn't embrace with eagerness. We are so blessed to have them and to be a part of thier lives. I can't wait to see what this summer holds for them. It's going to be great.

Father's Day was quite relaxing. We went to church and then to lunch and spent the rest of the day swimming. Later that night we went to the movies and enjoyed loving on the greatest Daddy in the world. (or at least in our house. gotta be careful my Daddy reads this too, and he is TRUELY the greatest Daddy in the world!) Anywhooo, Enjoy the pic's...

Busy, Busy, Busy

Whatever happend to those "lazy" days of summer?! We haven't had much laziness yet. This weekend was no execption. Friday night was date night. My wonderful man took me to see "Fiddler on the Roof" and to an incredible dinner. I ate so much Friday night I need to eat celery and air for the next week to make up for it.
But, then Saturday came around. It was divide and conquer. Edgar and Jaden went to football camp bright and early, and Gabby and I went to the church to run the OKC missions trip meeting and training. Football camp was a success and training was, well training but we had fun. Saturday afternoon it was time to head to the lake to do some jet skiing. How pathetic that Jaden has never been to the lake in his whole life. When I was growing up going to the lake was called "vacation". Gabby opted out of the lake and went to a friends house. Once on the jet ski and tube I discovered muscles in places apparently I did not know existed. Watching me ride a tube is quite entertaining I'm told. I believe the quote was " You looked like an octopus with 12 arms and legs". Nevertheless, it was fun. Now, Sunday. Church came first of course but after lunch...to the Roller Rink Baby! Oh, yes, I got my skate on! I am still a beast on four wheels. I did the "Hokey Pokey", played "Four Corners" and "Shoot the Duck" and never once did my behind graze the roller rink floor. I amaze myself. We were there for a birthday party and not only did we skate but we ate some really good cookie cake. Then it was home to pack for Edgar's trip to Haiti. Like a said busy, busy, busy...seriously!

Sharing

I wanted you to see a few pictures of fun things we have been up to lately. There are a couple of pictures of Jaden being fitted for his helmet and pads, and one of some fun in the pool with the Perry kids and Tibbitt's girls. It's starting to feel like the Houston we've always known, hot, muggy,and very humid! That tells me hurricane season has started and the very mention of it gives me a tummy ache. All the news weathermen are giving out those free hurricane preparedness booklets. I don't even want to think about all that stuff! But, I know I need to. In the mean time, enjoy our fun summer shots.
