Little Entrepreneur

Jared and Carter were a little bored yesterday and decided to open a Lemonaide stand in our front yard. Only we didn't have any lemonaide so they used Crystal Light Peachtea.
I thought they might make a couple of bucks, after all it was a hot day. Those two made $18.
Not bad for an afternoon when your 8!

What will they do next?

Josh's trip to California

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

I love you ....
and not just for your saucey ribs!

Germany or BUST!

I am going on my 2nd mission trip with my church (Grace Baptist) in August. A few years ago I went to El Salvador, so this is going to be a completely different kind of trip. We are going to Vilseck Germany to Rose Barricks where the 409th Base Support Battalion of the U.S. Army is stationed. Most of the soldiers are on active duty in Iraq. A team of ten from Grace will be helping lead Vacation Bible School for the kids of the soldiers as well as doing some things at night for the wives that are left at home to care for their families.
I am really excited about this trip. I hope that if only for a week we can make a difference in the lives of families who give up so much for our country and our freedom.
Please pray for us as we prepare and learn materials for VBS, gather needed items to take with us and also for financial blessing since we have to pay $1600 to go on this trip. Oh, and also pray hard for Jeff Chambers, he is the guy who is leading this particular trip and so far he is the only male from our church who is signed up to go. We would love to take another guy, preferably one who plays an instrument!
I know this is alot to ask people to pray for but I also know that our God is a GREAT BIG GOD!

Jared

This is a picture of Jared and his Aunt NeNe's new baby goat, Apple. I took this Memorial Weekend and thought it was a great picture.

ELI

I Scream! You Scream! Eli Screams for Ice cream!! Well, not literally screams it was more like a grunt, point and stick his tounge out. That was the cutest thing.

The boys and I (minus Josh, who is still in California) just got back from a trip to Alabama to visit family. We had a great time.
Sunday night we went to the Peach Park where Eli had to have an ice cream just like everyone else. I don't think this will be his last this summer. As you can see he enjoyed it!

BTW- the Peach Park is a GREAT place to get fruit, ice cream, BBQ and cobblers. It is in Clanton Alabama off I-65. If you are ever going through there you must stop. They were listed in the latest edition of Southern Living Magazine as having the cleanest bathrooms on I-65. What a trip! Of all the things they could have said about the Peach Park. They have great food, homeade ice cream and home grown fruits and veggies and Southern Living only mentions their bathrooms. That is just wrong! so anyway, stop and enjoy the food... and the clean restrooms.

FUN IN BAMA
