WALL E...............Woah!

Well, this how our Saturday went. We had to get up early and Jacob and I (Dad) went to our baseball game against the Nationals. Jacob did well but I am afraid that we have been shut out of the playoffs. Ha Ha. Then Laura Rose and Christie went to Laura's best friend Grace Ann's Birthday party. Then that evening we went to see WALL E. Our friends Tyler & Ashly met us there. I highly recommend the movie. Went to Red Robin for dinner, the kids were a little crazy during dinner- sorry Tyler & Ashly.


Tomorrow Christie, Jacob and Laura Rose will be going to Alabama to visit family. I will miss them but they will have fun.

Jesus gives us the power to tell others about God VBS Day 5

We made it! We fought the good fight! We are done w/ VBS for 2008. Had a great week. Today we studied about the Holy Spirit (tough stuff to teach to kindergarten). Did the best I could and they seemed to be listening. Had a couple of questions about Jesus dying on the cross & how does that "take away" our sin. Laura Rose & Jacob are soooo tired. Jacob prayed before bed tonight for God to help him do well in baseball & to be brave when we watch Wall-E tomorrow. Let you know how our Saturday goes! :) (Jacob's shirt is soaked from REC - they had a super soaker!)

Jesus gives us the power to live forever VBS day 4

Hi again from "Power Lab". Today's story was about Jesus dying for our sins. Our kindergarten kids placed their "sin" on the cross. They were very solemn and serious (not so serious in the picture, as you can see). It was so precious. We are all very tired and ready for some rest. But we have one more day of fun! (Thank the Lord - do not know how much more fun I can take!) Jacob has ball practice Friday & a game at 8 am Sat. Then Laura Rose's friend Grace Ann is having her 3rd b-day party & then we are going to see Wall-E. Sounds like a lot of fun, hope the kids can hang in there! (We beat the 5th graders and won the game during worship rally - go Skylar, Breaton & Katie!)

Jesus gives us the power to be brave VBS day 3

Hi again from the "Power Lab" VBS 2008! Today was all about that great disciple Peter and that miracle of Jesus & Peter walking on the water (Matt 14:22-33). Then our Powerful Savior saved Peter when he faltered and began to sink & then he STOPPED the wind! The wind obeyed Him. Whoa. Take that in!
The little kindergarten boys were so quick to say they were not afraid of anything. Of course, I know that that is not true. We all have fears, worries, sometimes down right panicked! Today during worship we lifted our hands and prayed to release a fear to the Lord. I looked around during the prayer and was so touched at all of those little hands reaching up to Him, so precious! Jacob had a good day - he took his Webkinz puppy Leroy - the black "lab" to be our mascot for the day. Laura Rose saw me across the room in craft today and smiled so big and yelled "Mama, come here! Come where I am!" It was so sweet. Ms. Ashly & Ms Lacey took some cute pics of the kids. Going to try to remember the camera tomorrow. We will be presenting the gospel to the kids tomorrow, please pray for open hearts (&listening ears). Also, Pray for us as KB is competing in the challenge during the worship rally tomorrow - hope we can beat those 5th graders!

Jesus gives us the power to help others Day 2 VBS

Another great day at VBS! We learned about how to help others. We read the story about Jesus healing the blind man with the mud He made with His spit. He is so awesome. He is so powerful. He was, He is, & is to come! Jacob & Laura Rose had a great day. We went swimming with some friends and had a wonderful time. They swam for 3 straight hours. We had prune hands & feet. They were in bed tonight by 7:30. Resting up for another busy day of "Power Lab". Bye!

Jesus gives us the power to be thankful VBS day 1

Aren't those two cute in their goggles??? Thankfulness - that was the "point" for the day at our Science Lab VBS. Jacob is my kindergarten class and we had a busy, but very fun day! Some of the kids put dots on themselves and played the part of the lepers in our story(Luke 17:11-19). They were "quarantined" and then acted out the story of Jesus healing them. We also did an experiment w/ vinegar, soap and baking soda and our heart "overflowed" with thankfulness. The kids loved it and I had fun, too. Laura Rose had a good day, I saw her at craft time and she was doing fine. She is in a really good class. We look forward to our day tomorrow! Time for some much needed rest!!!

HE is mighty to save

The Lord your God is with you
HE is MIGHTY to save!
He will take great delight in you;
He will quiet you with His love;
He will rejoice over you with singing!
Zep. 3:17
This is for you, Mom and Dad (&Travis). We love you!
All of our love and prayers go with you. We have such a mighty friend in the Lord - "He calls me friend" - how awesome is that? He is hurt when we are hurting. Be comforted today. Remember He hears the groanings of our hearts (Rom 8:26), when the pain is too much for words.

Beautiful Day

Today the Lord gave us a beautiful day to enjoy! We went to the park and went for a walk (Jacob rode his bike.) Our friend Ms. Ashly from church hung out w/ us, too. It was a fun time! After all the fun, we had to go to WALMART. Oh boy, was that a time. I knew the kids were tired so I prayed for patience several times in the store. Poor Laura Rose had an accident and I had to go and get paper towels to clean the floor. Thank goodness I am a smart Mom and had a change of clothes, but her shoes were soaked. I had flashbacks (to the late 70s, early 80s) of being in Delchamps with no shoes on! Laura Rose and Jacob thought it was so funny that she did not have shoes on in the store - she did of course sit in the cart and did not walk. It is always an adventure with these two. They are so preciuos and I am so blessed - just a few minutes ago they were wearing crowns and dancing together "playing prince and princess" - Jacob's words. How I hope to remember to treasure those moments - b/c they will be screaming at each other before bed tonight, guaranteed! I love this blog, it is like a little diary. Even if noone reads it - I like to write about my day - keeps things in perspective. Makes me think of the good and what my Mom tells me to always do - LAUGH MORE. (Good advice Mom). May the Lord bless you! Romans 12:1-2

The White Sox 1st game Sat, 6/14

Jacob had his first ballgame Saturday morning. We woke to drizzling rain, but the game was not cancelled. We loaded up and on the way it really began to rain hard. We got to the field and they called out all the teams names, Jacob "high-fived" his coaches when his name was called and then the bottom fell out - game cancelled. Oh well, early game this Saturday, hope for good weather.

Shoes

Laura Rose said the funniest thing a few days ago. She was putting on her shoes and she said, "Dad, come here and tell me I have my shoes on the wrong feet!"

Water Play day

Jacob and Laura Rose had the best time w/ their buddies Isaac & Jonah yesterday(6/16). We had all four in a little kiddie pool and then they jumped on the trampoline w/ the sprinkler raining down on them. They were so cute! Enjoying summer very much, do not miss homeschool one bit. Going to the park today and riding bikes. Then on to WalMart, oh boy!
