Power Lab VBS

This was VBS week and it was a whirl wind of FUN FUN FUN!!!
We focused on Jesus giving us the power to be Thankful, Helpful, Brave, to live forever and the power to tell others about God. It was amazing and 8 kids gave their lives to Christ. It was Hudson's first VBS and to see him praying with his friends, singing on stage, with the hand motions to, was so moving. And of course I cried, (big shocker here I know:)). Malia came with us, and she got to walk on water because she believed that Jesus would help her! We enjoyed sharing VBS with you Malia!! You and your family have been a wonderful blessing. My family just LOVES you.
I am so very thankful for what God is doing in my life. South Carolina has just been a much needed blessing to me. I am back involved with Children's Ministry and It feels so GOOD! I really MISSED it. And I know that I am answering my calling to serve the Lord and I feel complete.

Spending the Weekend with my Family and Friends!

My birthday was wonderful. Kelly surprised me by taking me to get a Mani and Pei on Saturday morning it was such an enjoyable girl time. (Thanks girly:)) She used Matt to trick me into going over to her house for a early morning workout. This was so much better than sweating through Mr. Frank's Boot Camp:) Matt got to stay behind and do that. Then we all went to downtown Charleston to go shopping, have dinner and go to a dessert bar!!! The best cake... YUMMY YUM YUM!!!! The rest of the weekend was just hanging around the house with the kids. And Hudson had his first kick off to VBS, and he is in love with it. He made a friend with one of the little boys named Logan. I am so very blessed and grateful. Thank you all for all the birthday wishes.

Birthday Flowers for Me!!!

These pretty flowers, with all my favorites purple flowers, are from my shisher. They made my birthday extra special and put a BIG smile on my face. I looked at them all weekend. They looked so good in my kitchen, Mom is going to make a silk flower arrangement for me. One year we will live in California, and you can bring flowers to me personally. I love and miss you so much.

A Future in Swimming

Hudson LOVES Swimming!!! Hudson can not wait to be on swim team. He calls it a swim concert! He wants to win the ribbons. His girl friend here in SC tells him to swim like you are a fish and a shark is gonna eat ya! Great advice Malia
