VBS, July 4th, and Quality Time...

Last week was Vacation Bible School at our church. It was from Sunday through Thursday at night time. It kept us pretty busy last week and tired but it was so much fun. I helped in the toddler/ preschool room (where Grace was) and Adam helped in the 4th and 5th grade room. Grace really got to know a new little friend that week too. Her name is Sierra. That were so cute playing together!!

The VBS week came to a close with a family night that included worship, and then bouncers, play ground, and ice cream. Grace just couldn't get enough of the bouncies!! She just LOVES them now!

Grace and Sierra being silly!! They were trying to see how loud they could scream=)

The last night Isaac (our worship pastor and friend) got a pie in his face by the kids because the girls raised the most money for missions. :) Him and his wife did such a great job with the music also during VBS... they really got into doing the moves:)

Grace LOVING the bouncy!!! She just giggled the whole time she was in there.

In the midst of all our VBS time, while Daddy was working outside, Grace and I had some quality time together one morning last week. I took her on a stroll in the stroller (Grace wanted to be pushed) up the road and then we came home and had a 'picnic' in the shade on our front porch. Grace just loved being outside and eating her lunch!!....

For July 4th we were invited to our Pastor's house for a 4th of July cookout and pot luck. All the mission groups came and it was wonderful. The food was great and the kids has so much fun too because they have a lot of outside toys to play with. Grace really loved their trampoline.. she called it the bouncy=). We just love being with our church family/ friends!!

Ready to celebrate the 4th! (she looks like she is going to pick her nose=)
