Baby Shower

My cousin Angela is expecting her 2nd baby in December and we just had a baby shower for her at my house. We have been so excited about having another baby in our family and just in time for Christmas!!! We can't wait to meet Addie!
Since the shower was at my house.. I wanted to decorate and make some cool projects for the shower... most of the things I found on pinterest.

#1 - Onesie Cupcakes

Here is where I got the idea:

And it is over!!!

Summer 2012 has flown by since school is going back so early this year. Our summer camp schedule at church was packed quite full..... In June we had Play and Praise Camp and Arts Extravaganza Camp which were back to back  and we had a great time at both. We ended our 2 weeks with a Family Worship Night which went great! Pictures will come later...

Then it was already July and the week of the 4th. The following week we took 5 kids to Camp Kid Jam in Winston. We had a great time and the Lord provided the perfect weather for us.  Once I came back from that camp it was full swing ahead for VBS. And this past Thursday, we had our finale for VBS at the Park. The highest total we had during VBS was 393 including all the kids and leaders and volunteers.

Now I know it has been a busy summer and it leads me to being worn out and sleep deprived but I would not trade it for anything because I love seeing all the kids having a great time and learning more about our AWESOME GOD!

Now I am starting off some vacation time with my hubby.... which it has been almost a year and 1/2 since we have been on a vacation.  I plan on catching up on that much needed rest!!!

SUMMER

Summer has come upon us very quickly and it is going to fly by as well.
Last week I spent every morning with 20 3,4, and 5 year olds at Play~N~Praise Camp at Woodlawn. We had a great time learning about Noah and then we ended the week with a FUN DAY filled with hot weather, water fun and a petting zoo.

This week, I am spending the whole day with some great kids that just finished Kindergarten thru 5th grade and after the first day, I know that the rest of the week will be great but HOT!!!

Will post again later with some pictures of summer fun!!!!

37 years

I am not believing that the time is here. But after 37 years of teaching my mom has decided that she is ready to retire. She has been at River Bend Middle for 12 years teaching 7th grade and before that she was at Oxford Elementary teaching 6th grade.   I am excited for her!
Tonight, her fellow teachers surprised her at the Crawdads game and she got to throw out the first pitch for the game. She was truly surprised and I know that she had a great time hanging out with the teachers and their families.  Thank you Mr. Sigmon for organizing it all!

Love you mom!!!!
