Happy Birthday Bethany!!!

Ok, so before some of you start panicking, it was Bethany's "pretend" birthday at school, because she has a summer birthday! We enjoyed spending alot of time at the school yesterday to help celebrate her "birthday"! :+)

Here is Sarah Joy and Noah (with his new hair cut) waiting for Daddy to come pick us up.

Here is the birthday girl herself, enjoying her spaghetti, can't you tell?

Alana and Bethany eat lunch at the same time, so we were able to enjoy both girls at the same time. I stayed after they left, and sat with the boys while they ate lunch.

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Bethany.

Happy birthday to you! Bethany with her teacher, Mrs. E!

After lunch, we enjoyed the beautiful sunshiney day at the park with Austin and his class.

Noah had so much fun playing with all those kids!!

Austin decided he wanted to play football with some of the boys.

Sarah Joy had a friend come to her rescue since Austin left her for the boys! :) Her friend also has a baby at home and did a good job of following Sarah Joy around and keeping her safe!

She even kept Sarah Joy away from other people's water bottle germies! hehe!

While we were playing at the park, Caleb's class went by on their way to P.E. He is the one lagging in the back.

We also had fun climbing trees at the college while waiting for Alana to finish her piano lesson.

Here is Bethany jumping out of the tree after Caleb lifted her up to the branches.

Can you see Austin up there???

Nothing like some ice water on a hot, sunny day!

We also just got done with our Bible Conference. Here is a picture of Ski & Noah with Dr. Bob Bevington who was one of our preachers during the week. Dr. Bevington just celebrated his 81st birthday and is still preaching strong! We had many preachers here last week, including Dr. Keen, Dr. Bobby Roberson, Dr. Steve Roberson, Dr. Jack Trieber and many more! We had a very good week and it was so neat to see the Lord working in many hearts and lives including ours!

Psalm 61:3
For thou hast been a shelter for me,
and a strong tower from the enemy.

So much to post, so little time!

Well, it seems I just can't keep up with all the happenings around here. Last week was our Teens For Christ Crusade. Caleb sang every night with the choir. We (Ski, me, Austin & Alana) were only able to go on Saturday night, but it was such a blessing to see all those teenagers. There was even a mother/daughter that got saved AND they were in church Sunday morning! The weather is starting to warm up, finally, and hopefully to stay this time. The kids were able to play outside a little bit yesterday. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.

Sarah Joy cleaning up even while "playing" outside!

This is what I found on my table after the kids had been playing outside for awhile. Thank you to Caleb for my beautiful daffodils!
We also have a goal for 2008 to read through the entire Bible as a family. Here are some pictures from our Bible time last night.

Even though we only read a couple of chapters a night, sometimes,
some of us just CAN'T manage to stay awake.

Deuteronomy 6:7
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
