What a Fun day!

In our church we have a tradition. Every year they give the 1st graders new Bibles. Each child is called one by one to go up and get their Bible from the Pastor and have their picture taken. I have been looking forward to this since the first time I saw it a few years back.

Caleb got his yesterday! The video is a little bouncy at first. And yes, that is my child that tossed his Bible in the air not 5 seconds after he got it. Sigh....


We also had Sister's Sunday this week. I really love my Family Life Group. They are such a wonderful group of women! It was so nice to sit around with these great women and chat about life, husbands, kids and all kinds of other things. The apple pie and cupcakes were a nice addition too!

Some more pictures from this year.

Sam's first trip to church at 6 days old. He's the one in the Orange sling. ( and if you are an avid babywearer and think that I'm wearing him too low, I am. It's just that he really seemed to like it that way. LOL)
Caleb started 1st grade!
Paige & Caleb. I can't believe how big they are getting!

Rhys and his best friend ever watching a 4th of July parade. What will we do when he moves away soon? : (

Trying to catch up after a year off of blogging is hard. Here's the latest with us.

Rhys started Voluntary Pre Kindergarten (VPK) this year. Caleb is in 1st grade and Paige is in 5th grade. Both boys will be in Teeball again this Fall. Go Rangers! Clif will be an assistant coach this season. Yay for Coach Clif! Paige is in cheerleaing and seems to be loving it. I'm still working ( on maternity leave right now) and Baby Sam will be staying with my stepmom when I return to work.
