Setting up the bounce house for the kids
Enjoying one another's company







This is C. He is the "Grandpa" of the church. We all love him and look out for him.

Big kids having fun in the bounce house! I have to say I took my turn too! I think there may be a picture of me floating around out there too lol!

Catching up

I have started to blog at least four times in the last couple of days and something has always happened and I never get the post finished!
I have had the boys, who always keep me busy! Tonight Tater, his Mom, some friends, and I are going to see Elmo for Tater's birthday. We went last year for his brother's birthday and he liked it, except for when the characters started coming off the stage and into the crowd, then he tried to hide in his Mom's shoulder!
I edited a bunch of the Family Camp weekend pictures and went and got some copies made. 145 pictures cost me about $40! But, I made a bunch of copies for people who didn't have their cameras and wanted pictures. K found a trifold display board at Wal Mart and I put a bunch of pictures on there and put it up at church so those that couldn't be there can see some of what went on.
The other night K and I went out and watched some of the meteor shower. We saw quite a few! It was alot of fun, I've never seen anything like that and we had alot of fun just sitting there and talking!
Well, I need to get back to working on a welcome home banner for PM and C's son who is coming home soon from basic training, but later this afternoon or tomorrow I will be back to share some more pictures!
Hugs!

A bit of catch up

I am still working on editing pictures from our camp weekend. I took 235 pictures!! I am working on making a poster of different scenes from the weekend because there were quite a few who were not able to make it. K also took some video we are going to make some copies of...one of the couples that were baptised on Sunday were discipled by the wife of a missionary couple from our church who have since gone back to Brazil. No one thought that the husband would set foot in our church, let accept Christ, and go on to be baptised. Now that they both have, we can't wait to share the pictures and video with our missionary couple!
As soon as I get the pictures edited and order the ones I need I will share some here with you. I also have a couple of new projects to keep me going on my days off and another friend wants to get together one of these days too. I am excited because I haven't seen her in months because of her job!
Friday I have a date with Tater! His birthday is coming up. A big 3 year old! His Mom bought tickets for her, Tater, me, and one of his brothers to see Elmo! His brother is now wanting to back out, so we are trying to find someone closer to Tater's age for him to go with. I don't think he cares so much about that though...he keeps telling me Elmo birthday!!
Well, I was able to go and get another Zone Therapy treatment and it has relaxed me quite a bit and I hear my pillow calling.
Big hugs!

And the four day weekend begins!!!

Today is day one of my four day weekend! I almost ended up working today, but the boys Grandma has them instead. I didn't know if they were coming for sure or not, so I got up at the normal time and did my normal routine of shower and chores and things and it's a good thing I did. I got a call from PM and I went in to the church and made some copies and did some other preparations for the outdoor service on Sunday and made some copies for PM for his premarital councelling. That took care of most of the morning! I was glad to do it...I was wondering what I was going to do with myself with no Sunday School and no PowerPoint this week and a four day weekend!
I've been doing more laundry since I got home and I'm getting ready to work on the Hymn Book indexes that I have been slowly but surely plugging away at. I found out that I have another picture project to work on too! PM and C's son is graduating this year and his aunt is going to do a scrapbook for him and C told me that almost all of the pictures she has of J over the last three years are ones that I have taken. So, I'm going to go through my pictures and get copies made of the good ones and send them to the aunt so she can make the scrapbook. Again, a much needed project because I only work two days next week! And no PowerPoint again that week either!
I'm sure I will have lots of pictures to share after this weekend. I have heard that some are camping tonight for the family camp weekend, so we might head out to the campground (it's only a couple miles from my house) and see what everyone is up to tonight. We'll probably go and spend some time out there Friday and Saturday too. I don't know if we will camp or not yet, K may have to work on Saturday and camping and getting up at 4:30 in the morning just don't work well together for him!
