Tonight was the final night of Kid's Vacation Bible Time!

This is the girl who won 'Sheriff Sam' for bringing the most visitors is the 4th-6th grade group.

And this young man won the horse & wagon for bringing the most visitors in the 1st-3rd grade group.

We had a great week of VBT! I am so thankful that I was able to be there and have a small part in the VBT. 

Tomorrow, Michael is taking Josiah and I for a family day. I am excited to get to spend the day with my guys!

It's Bible Time!

It's Bible Time here in Fairbanks, Alaska! 

The first two evenings of Bible Time have gone very well! I was blown away tonight by the amount of kids who brought visitors with them! I can't help but smile as I see all the excitement on the children's faces. 

Michael and I have really enjoyed being here and we are especially enjoying the cool weather! Today was in the sixties at least that is what the weather report told me. I actually had to wear my sweater this morning.

Unfortunately, Josiah has gotten sick. This is a picture I took of him on Monday. And if you know Josiah very well at all you understand that for him to lay down like this in the middle of the day and of his own accord that he really doesn't feel well. He was awake, but barely. He is doing better now, but is still coughing and sneezing. And just so you know, he doesn't look miserable all the time, here is one of his cute moments...

Josiah is holding the largest container of animal crackers that I have ever seen. 

He is getting just a 'little' bit spoiled by Grandma Case and Aunt Tina!

And he is loving every minute!

Happy Birthday!

My sweet husband celebrated his 28th birthday today!

Happy Birthday, Michael!

Finally!

We are so excited! Josiah will finally get to meet his Grandma & Grandpa Case in just a few short days!!! We are flying to Alaska and will be there for 18 days!!

Look Grandpa, Josiah wants to ride a motorcycle just like you used to! 

Josiah will also get to meet all of his Aunts, Uncles, & Cousins! It is going to be so much fun!

Can't wait til they get to meet our goofy lil guy!

Penny March

The boys are serious about the penny offering.

But, they learn this lesson at a young age that GIRLS RULE!

Therefore, they always win!

WAY TO GO GIRLS!!!!

Here is our sweet guy still asleep this morning. He woke up SO much better this morning!

There were 41 kids who showed up today with 2 of them being dealt with after the service. There were also a few new workers today.

This little girl won the balloon for following all the rules all day, it's kinda like a quiet seat prize. Here is the boy who won.

Happy Tuesday!

We are in Margate, Florida this week helping out Faith Baptist Church. Here is a look at our morning.

Josiah was not a happy camper to be woken up before 8am, but he looked so sweet beforehand.

Mouse hat

Puppets! A sweet lady filled in for me so I wouldn't put too much strain on my back. I hurt it over the weekend and it has reminded me that I am getting older... and I DON'T like it! I don't even want to discuss 20 years from now.

Craft Time!

Game Time! I walked out the door, took the picture, and walked back in the AIR-CONDITIONED building! The news this morning said this area was having record breaking heat. I believe them.

The service went well overall, especially for the first day. There were just over 30 kids who showed up and I know about 5 of them trusted Christ this morning. I'm so glad that the Jesus loves these little kids!

Now my sweet guys are taking a much needed nap after a late night and early morning. Michael is only 'posing' in this picture but now he is out like a light! :) Happy Monday, Y'all!
