Anand Bazaar

We went to the Anand Bazaar yesterday for Indian Independence day. The girls got to go "rock climbing" for the first time. Actually they were less rock climbing and more letting Daddy lift them up as high as he could and sliding back down. They also had a huge slide that they had a lot of fun on.
Our Indian church had a real nice booth set up and we enjoyed seeing everyone again since we missed the last two meetings. They also had a parade and some Hindi music, lots of food and many displays.

Mops BBQ

We had our Third annual Mops BBQ on Friday. The party was a great success (our definition of a successful party is one in which no one drowns). Thanks to all who came. We enjoyed getting to know some of the newer members of Mops too.

Bowling

On Thursday we went bowling with our Sunday school group. If your children are pictured you should be able to click the photo and download it.

Teeny Tiny "True" Love

We got to go babysit for a friend who is in the hospital after she had this sweet little one. We're glad to hear she is doing better and should be home tomorrow! And we loved getting the chance to enjoy her adorable little 8 day old girl! Such a sweetie!!! Plus her other children were so sweet and well mannered. I can't even keep my 2 in line and she now has 8 that are so well behaved! Let me in on your secret!!!

Katie's Birthday Party

We had Katie's 6th Birthday party on Saturday. Thanks to all who came! She had a great time with all her friends.

Boomerang Express

The girls had a great week at VBS! They learned about Austrailia as they rode the Boomerang Express. They got to see Miss Debbie's great moves toY-Y-Yes to V-V-VBS. They even learned their ABC's a new way--- A-Admit that you are a sinner, B - Believe that Jesus rose from the dead, C- Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord!


Here is the Family Night program. The older kids did really good in their cute little skit.

This is the best shot we could get of Lizzy.

And here's Katie F-O-L-L-O-W ing Jesus.

Six flags with friends

Yesterday, the girls and I went to six flags with some friends. Theo didn't want to go. Something about it being 100 outside. But we wound up having a great time. The heat wasn't as bad as I was afraid it would be since there was a lot of shade and those cool mister fans. Plus we went on a couple of water rides.

The girls loved the rides and there were lots of bigger rides that even Lizzy could go on. Katie even got to go on the Tony Hawk big spin ride which was pretty scary! Lizzy cried only on one ride, the one that went in the water, but later declared it her favorite. I was surprised that they weren't afraid of the conquistador one - the giant rocking ship that goes back and forth. They really loved it and went three times!

And the best part? We got in totally free with reading tickets! Thanks Alisha for your extra tickets!

Texas Sage

God painted us a picture this morning when I went outside. These pretty bushes are called Texas Sage (I think - I get plant names confused), and they bloom when it will rain. Which sure enough, it did. Who needs the weatherman?
