Family

While we were in Iowa for Bible school we also get to spend time with our family. This year Jonathan and Katelyn went home with my parents for a few days. They had a great time! The were introduced to water balloons and loved that. They always love the treats they get (donuts, M&Ms, and Oreos are a few favorites). Jonathan loves all of Grandma's toys and Katelyn ran around and took the clothes off of all of Grandma's dolls.

We also spent a lot of time with Chaun's family.
I didn't get very many pictures, but I loved these two.

Go the Distance!

At the beginning of August Chaun and I (and the kids of course) headed to Iowa to run a Bible School. This is the ninth summer we have done this and we love it every year. This year we decided to write our own curriculum. It was a little scary but in the end I think it went well. Our theme was "Go the Distance!" We traveled through the Bible trying to show the kids how the Bible connects together as one big picture.

Chaun told the stories this year. It was a nice break for me.

I couldn't have done it on my own. The Lord blessed us with GREAT help this year!

Every year Jess comes and helps me.
It is always a fun week to spend time together.
I couldn't do it without her!

We are training Jonathan to be our song leader! He LOVED singing in the microphone and doing the actions to all the songs. It was precious!
