The Launch 2012

The youth group kicked off their new school year with The Launch last night. E had a fantastic time eating supper, playing games, and being challenged from God's Word!

I am so thankful that she has a great group of friends who love the Lord and desire to have a closer walk with Christ.

Summer Fun...Go Kart

Scot surprised the kids with a "new to us" go kart.

The kids have been wanting one since we moved here and have all this space to drive on!

Welcome to the World...HGM!

My little cousin was born today! So thankful for another sweet baby in the family to love on and take pictures of :)

First Day of School

The 2012-2013 school year started today!

Gymnastics

M is in love with all things gymnastics since watching the Olympics! She is begging to take lessons. I think I need to check into it because she is quite good at it!

 I think we may have a little gymnast on our hands :)

Music by Moonlight 2012

Our local park has a series of nights throughout the summer that bring music to the park.

We went to the park a little early and let the kids play on the playground. We also did a a few Geo-caches in the park. Then as the sun was going down, we enjoyed a picnic while listening to patriotic music by a local Army band.

Learning to Sew

 S took sewing lessons this week. This is something she has been wanting to do for a little while and when her friend mentioned she was doing it, it seemed like the perfect time to sign her up for lessons!

This is the pin cushion she made on the first day!

Our friend Sherry teaches the class so that made the week even more fun! This is S in the skirt she made in class!
