Soccer Camp



Our church had a Soccer Camp this year instead of VBS. The
kids really seemed to enjoy it despite the fact that it was blazing
hot. They each got a trophy and a t-shirt at the conclusion.
The were both pretty excited about their trophy. All in all
it the camp turned out really nice!

Happy 13th Birthday Shaelyn







My little girl is not so little any longer! Shaelyn turned
13th on Friday. I took off work to be with her and we
packed in a lot of fun during the day. First we gave her
the Jade ring we had purchased for her while we were in
China adopting her in 1999. This was really special!
Then we went out to eat breakfast. After breakfast
we visited a local field of sunflowers for a photo shoot.
That was fun :) Then that evening we gave her a bowling
party at the local bowling alley with some friends and
family. I had ordered her a really special birthday cake
from a friend of mine who owns a cake decorating
business. We LOVED the cake...it was beautiful and
so yummy! All in all, it was a wonderful day!!! You turn
13 only one time and we wanted to make sure Shaelyn
knew just how special she is to us. I'm confident that she
knows!! :)
