Galactic Blast VBS 2010

So immediately after school ended, we geared up for Marvin UMC's Galactic Blast...VBS 2010. Can you sense how busy it has been??? God's love (and torrential rain) were "out of this world" all week. The girls each had their own story times, activities and friends made during this week.


God bless our sweet two year-old teachers, Jordan and Jennifer. I don't think they knew what they were getting into, but they did it beautifully! How sweet it was to see Molly going from activity to activity learning about God's love for her and her friends. Sweet moments!

Addy and friends enjoying time with the parachute. Who knew a round piece of fabric could brings so much joy?

This is Addy dancing on the stage. The girl can "get down" and LOVES her music!
You've seen this special friend, Riley, before. These two are inseparable buds when together.

Mary Ella dancing with the "astronauts", Paul and Luke. By the end of VBS, they were celebrities!

Mary Ella is hard at work putting the final touches on her craft...so serious!


This is just one of my sweet friends here in Tyler, Jami. You can't see it, but we both wore white skirts and blue shirts on this day. All in all, VBS was a success despite getting wet at times. It is always fun to spend time with each other and our children each year. Yes, it requires LOTS of preparation, but it is totally worth it when you see the excited, happy faces on the children.

End of 1st Grade Bash


We wrapped up another successful school year by having a party for Mary Ella's class at our house. Mary Ella's teacher, Mrs. Sudduth, joined us. I also had the privilige of coming to know each of these kiddos throughout this past year. What a great group of kids and what an amazing teacher! I truly believe Mrs. Sudduth helped Mary Ella discover her love of reading and writing. How comforting it was to send our daughter off to school to be loved and nurtured by this wonderful teacher!
