Happy birthday to Wubs!

Dearest Wubs,

Happy 7th birthday! We are so thankful that the Lord has allowed us to be your daddy and mommy. You bring us so much joy with your gentle heart, thoughtfulness, creativity, contagious giggles, and your love for others. We have watched you grow closer to Jesus over this last year and we are excited about your blossoming relationship with Him! We are praying for you each day, and we are praising God for precious gift that He gave us... you! Thank you for your happy heart and for your eagerness to help. We love you oh so so so much! Happy birthday, little girl!

Love, Daddy and Mommy

Here are my last few pictures from vacation Bible school...sorry, they are a little out of order but I dind't want to forget to post them! It was such a fun week, filled with excitement, and the best part...several children accepted Christ as their Savior! Wow! It was such a blessing to meet new families and get to serve alongside such wonderful volunteers.

These first few pictures of Wubs really bless my heart. Four years ago, Emma Grace cried and wouldn't even go up on stage for the VBS Friday night program. Three years ago, she went on stage, but she stood there completely frozen. Last year, she sang her song but again, she was too scared to even move. This year, she was dancing and smiling and having a wonderful time! I praise God that He has calmed Wub's fears and allowed our oldest daughter to sing and worship Him without reservation! wink!

I took this picture on 'Dress like you favorite VBS character night'. Emma Grace went to church dressed as Colonel Clash! ha ha!

Bella and Gracie were practicing their VBS songs in theater! So sweet!

I don't have any pictures of Bella from Friday evening's performance because she was so little, I couldn't see her up on stage. (Her class was standing two rows back.)  I know that she was singing and dancing with all her heart! wink!

Colonel Clash, Emma Grace dressed as Kernel Clash, and Virginia.

JJ's best friend celebrated her 1st birthday at VBS! We love Madelyn so very much and it was a special treat to share her big day with her!

Precious!

Wubs and Virginia stopped on the runway for a picture.

The girls and boys had a competition to see who could raise the most money for missions and also to see who could bring in the most food for our church food pantry. The boys won this year, but the girls sure tried hard! Maybe next year!

Wubs and Katelyn had a plane in their classroom! It was really neat. All the volunteers put so much love into preparing for vacation Bible school.

We certainly did have an 'amazing' week at Amazing Wonders Aviation, VBS 2012!

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage;be strong."- 1 Corinthians 16:13

More VBS fun!

 God has certainly been blessing vacation Bible school! He has been so faithful to provide an abundance of volunteers to serve the many children and families that have come to Faith every night. I love to watch the body of the church come together; it is exciting to work together! I have been trying to snap atleast a few pictures every night. Here is just a little glimpse Amazing Wonders Aviation 2012!

Wubs and Katelyn (and Matthew), under the sea.

Bella was working on her coloring sheet. She didn't even know I had popped into her class!

Wubs at craft time. She made a bobble airplane.

Katelyn, Wubs, and their class were preparing to go to Worship Rally.

Bella and Gracie, two peas in a pod.

JJ has had fun at VBS, too!

JJ has done great, staying up late each night! He has been a trooper!

Katelyn, Wubs, Bella, and Zachary! Next year we'll have to squeeze Madelyn and JJ into this picture!

David took this picture of all his girls before we left home one night.

All the VBS volunteers and their families have been eating together each night.

Virginia, Emma Grace, and Skylar. Sweet girls!
