So many pictures and an incredibly busy week

Our women's retreat was back in April but I just got these pictures last night. Here is the whole group!!! I am taking the picture~ Kate, Me, Tami & Teresa (tallest to shortest!)
My trip to Colorado City to see Beth Moore.
Dinner at a place that was beyond impossible to get to!!!
Outside waiting Friday night. There were a ton of people and it was freezing!
Teresa's great-grandmother passed away the middle of May. Her and Riley got to meet David Beckham in Dallas. Teresa had to ask what was all the hoopla surrounding "those people". It was the Galaxy team of course and there were girls everywhere!
VBS was this week...Whew I am tired. We had roughly 55-60 kids each day and 30 volunteers to help us out. I was amazed by the amount of love that was poured out to our kids. This week was a huge success thanks to all of you! As much as I love VBS I am glad that it is over for the year. At about 11:00 today I was thankful that it would be a whole year until we did this again. But in the middle of the exhaustion and fatigue I am still so thrilled that we pulled off a successful week of teaching our kids about God's love. This year I got to co-direct with Teresa and it was different. I loved it. I usually sign up for teaching or being the guides for the classes as they travel around to different groups but this year God led me in another direction and I really did enjoy it. The theme this year was God's Big Backyard. What a fun idea and it was based on serving our family, friends, neighbors, community & Jesus. Our kids did a wonderful job and I have no complaints! :)
Here is Mason enjoying his time at VBS. He did have a few fits and got put in time-out (the crib) but that is not something we will speak about at the time.

Gracelyn would rather me hold her than walk any day.

I think her daddy has spoiled her.

I agree, we had our vbs this week and I'm exhausted! But, you're right, it's such an awesome blessing to those kids!
