Luke's Mohawk

I'm not a fan of Mohawks at all. I swore I would never let Luke have one. He has been begging me for one for at least a year and a half. I caved and decided what the heck. It's summer and it will be gone before school starts. Surprisingly, both Bill and I like it. He can't keep the smile off of his face and is anxious for it to grow a little bit more so that it will stick up a bit higher!

Laughlin 2010

We had an amazing time with our family and friends this past week during our annual trip to the river. This year we decided to rent a boat of our own. Thank you Corinne & Scott for letting us borrow your raft to pull. It was a great hit with the kids. Can't wait for next year!

The boys were so excited to get going

Just getting started....

Vacation Bible School

Luke attended Vacation Bible School this past week with our neighbors Stevie and Makena. He had a great time. Daddy felt the growing pains as we sent him off each day into the auditorium! Tonight was the final night. It ended with a family style celebration that included singing, a live lion on stage, and playing in the water park. He was so excited to run into his former preschool classmate Frank. I am so thrilled that my children are growing up loving Christ. My continuous prayer is that they too will choose to follow Christ and have a relationship with him for the rest of their lives.
