Cousin Fun

Last week, Ashtyn, Thatcher, & Drew were in town for VBS.  We LOVED being able to hang out with them.  One night, we met at the river for some fun.

Ashtyn & Chandler are so excited to be adding girls to the family!! 

 

Drew & Thatcher were loving the boat ride!!

 

Laura worked with Chandler to ski....she got up but has more work to do!!  But she has the bug & will be skiing all over the river soon.

After all the playing in the water, everyone was hungry so we ended the night by roasting hot dogs over the fire!!  We can't wait till our cousins can visit us again.

Father's Day Steaks

Cheney is turning into the "griller" in the family.....he does a great job.  He made some super delicious steaks for Father's Day!!

Family Retreat/Mission Project-Day 2

On Saturday morning, we went to help a small church prepare for their upcoming VBS.  

 

Mom joined two other adults & took the kids to a local neighborhood to pass out flyers inviting the children to VBS at Stonewall Baptist Church.  

My group of young girls were so bold....they were not shy to talk to strangers.  They impressed me!

 

While we were passing out the flyers, others were painting doors, replacing sheetrock, & fixing stairs at the church.  

This church had an amazing tree for climbing & a great spot for a picnic!!

After the hot day & great dinner, everyone went swimming.  

The group gathered around for a devotional before going to bed.  The next morning, we went to church were we worked.  There were 17 church members present and we brought a group of 22......the little church was FULL!!

Family Retreat/Mission Project-Day 1

This past weekend, we joined our Bible fellowship group for a family retreat and mission project.  We had a great time.  

After dinner on Friday night, we went to see bats flying out of a cave.  Sadly, they didn't come out till it was too dark & we didn't see anything.

Chan with one of her good friends, Allie.  That was the best part of the weekend....seeing the kids enjoy their friends!!

Boat Time

Our favorite place to be is in the water!!

Cheney has become an expert skier......I love seeing him have fun!!

Chan loves to ride in the boat.....with her baby doll!!
