Good Times

After a very busy week or two, I am finally able to get these pictures posted:) Seems like there hasn't been time for breathin' lately! I've been busy, busy, busy getting all the decorations & props ready for VBS at our church. Topped it all off with a 9 hour day at the church on Sunday to put it all together. Whew! Looks good:)

Like my jelly fish, crab & anemone? You can barely see the clown fish! (Thanks, Amber, for the jellyfish idea!!!) xoxox
These are my blurry pics from the performances:)


W had a great visit to Redmond last week. Got to hang out with Angie & Brandon & Alisha too. Ryan went home with Angie when she brought Alisha out last week and was able to spend a few days on his own visiting his auntie and uncle. (Gave me more time to work on my paintings for VBS too, since I wasn't playing referree to the boys!) Took the kids to the Deschutes County Fair while were there. The Elmer Boys +1 ~Tim & Mike & Brian~ met us there as well:) Check out the prizes "the boys" won for my boys! You should've seen us trying to cram them into my car to get them home! (the prizes, not my boys!!!) Good times... Here's my new favorite photo:)


On Saturday, I decided to treat the boys to some "attention" by taking them to the park. I happened to read in the paper that morning about one of the local tv stations hosting an annual Kids Day Festival (how did they know we celebrate Kids' Day???). We went to check it out and there were over 90 vendors there with games, booths, activities, crafts and prizes for the kids! Whoo-hooo!!~ We had a blast:) The only thing that wasn't free was the food, but I knew Parks & Rec was having their Family Fun Day and BBQ so we hopped over there and had a free lunch and the kids played some more games! Ryan even got to get dunked in the dunk tank!! (heehee, Nathan and I got to dunk him!!)

God is so good to us! We were even blessed with a yard sale on our way home and we were given a ton of school supplies for, you guessed it, FREE!!! Thank you LORD!!!
