VBS 2012

VBS 2012 has come to an end. I am so proud of my church and blessed by what I was able to witness this week. Our numbers averaged 200 kids, over 2,000 was raised in the penny offering for our camp facility and most of all we had 2 salvation's!!!
    This year our church went with a basic training theme and focused on the story of Moses. We are the only church who will do this VBS, because our church wrote and designed it themselves! I wish I could share all my pictures but there are 100 so Ill just share a few!

Gymnastics

James Henry has always been tiny (we were destined to have one tiny one). Although tiny, He has always been so tough! This guy has no fear of anything! He jumps, kicks and rolls off anything and everything he can find. When I caught him jumping off the computer desk hutch that's about 5 feet tall, I started to worry. That's when gymnastics came into play. I thought if he was going to jump off everything, he might as well learn to do it properly! I was worried what James would think about his son taking gymnastics but he was fine with it, It seems it will limber him up for his collegiate wrestling career :)

Here are some pictures....

I told you he was strong!!! Look at him go!

Last Day of Lego Camp 2012

May wrap-up

Wow! Is it really the 2nd day of June? This year is flying by. I am hoping June is slower for us than May but its not looking to be any better.
We finished out May with Paige's visit, our Memorial Day weekend trip and the following....
AWANAS awards

Makayla finished AWANAS completely and will move up our pre-teen ministry this fall. Christopher received his award for finishing another book and our James Henry completed his final year of Cubbies, on to pre-school AWANAS next year.

Christopher had his reading contest party. He read 1288 out of the required 400 pages.

Makayla had her end of the year party. It was a rainy fun mess.

Since James Henry is not in school yet, he is always crashing a party.

Christopher had his end of the year field trip at the Discovery Center.

San Jacinto Christian Academy First Grade 2011-2012

Of course there is always Field Day in May!!

 Makayla doesn't have awards so I'm not leaving her out but I need to brag a little,these are Christopher's awards one for the reading contest, one for A honor roll all year and one for a grade of E all 2nd semester.

 

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day Weekend we headed out of town!
The first thing I saw as we left Amarillo and headed to Dallas was this beautiful sunrise, it was just a reminder to me of God's beauty.

Our first stop in Dallas was Medieval Times. It was a blast! Our knight was the yellow night and we had front row seats.

Our knight threw Makayla a flower...let's just say she was very happy.

Next stop..The SeaLife Aquarium

On Sunday we headed to our favorite spot, Rangers Ballpark. First, we stopped for our first In-N-Out Burger experience. James is the only one of us that has been and it was yummy!

Then we enjoyed our afternoon at the Ballpark!

We took the kids through the Rangers Hall of Fame Museum

We had a fun weekend. There is just nothing better than family time.

Kids Summer Pics 2012

 I had the kids pictures made last week, I normally have Easter pictures made but since Makayla was in a cast I waited. A photographer here in town took the pictures, she is the same one who took them last fall and they are the ones here on the blog. They were all so so good but I picked a few of my favorites to share with you....
