a funny from VBS

The first night of VBS I forgot to ask him if he needed an offering, but I asked him the second and third night and he kept telling me no. So I believed him. Why not, our church doesn't do an offering for the little kids due to the fear they will eat the money. Well our hairdresser was his teacher so she was doing my moms hair on Thursday and we were talking about VBS. She said Jared was doing well and having a good time. We got to talking about the offering and she said the reason Jared didn't want to bring an offering was because he was bumming money from the pastor and his teacher so he didn't have to bring his own money. While we laughed and thought it was funny it was also a chance for us to teach him about giving.

Bible School

our church doesn't have bible school, so we decided to send him to Halltown Baptist church. He didn't know a soul when he started on Sunday night. He made friends with the pastor. He knows every one now. He is having a great time and can't wait to get there each night. Thanks to all the volunteers who still feel it is important.

pictures of the 4th and first bath

We took these pictures on the 4th from morning till we got ready to shoot fireworks. Jenna didn't much care for the fireworks. Jared loved them.

The other picture is of the first bath. She has grown to love it, but didn't like it this night. What girl doesn't like her bath and relaxation time

words that sound different out of a child's mouth

Jared is always saying things that he hears us say. Craig and I are always sayin "oh Lord". Jared has begun to say it in situations that don't seem so good but yet it is reaaly cute. So we were talking about it and he told me it was ok to say because he loved God and he was just talking about him.

Tball

Well Tball has come and gone just as fast as soccer went. Jared had a great time playing tball and learned a lot about the game of baseball. (I can't say that he still has the patience to watch a full game or even a half of game but we are getting better). He enjoyed having Kolton on his team and meeting a bunch of little boys that he will go to kindergarten with. Most of them will go to Bois D Arc, and right now Jared should go to Ash Grove. We are not sure where we will send him.

I have pictures of him playing, but with the new computer I am struggling to get it all figured out.

I will post them sooner or later.

Holiday weekend

Jenna is having her first holiday, the Fourth of July. We went to Ash Grove's fireworks last Sunday night. Jared loved them. He thought they were awesome, but baby Jenna was scared to death. We won't be attending any of the big ones. We are going to have our family over on Sat. and just shoot some off in our back yard. Hopefully papa will be able to come over. He has been in the hospital again this week with his last surgery (hopefully).

Just remember to thank those you know and don't know for our their service so that we might be able to celebrate our freedoms.
