Vacation Bible School 2010

I stole these pics from Michael Park at the church - thanks Michael!!

So EXCITED upon arrival


With Memaw - a little timid (for about 10 seconds) - look at my poor baby's face! awww


Group shot - notice Ashleigh staring right at the camera!


Alexander informed me that his group leader, Tina was his girlfriend! Check out her shirt! ha ha


It doesn't look like he left her side the rest of the time!


Seems like I am ALWAYS playing catch up!

Cool kid - headed to Vacation Bible School


Participating in the singing and hand gestures at VBS


Busted - she caught me taking her picture!


Mom and I took the kids for a real quick trip up home for a visitation and to check in on Uncle Joe and Aunt Nancy.

Storytime with Aunt Nancy


Getting a talking to by MeMaw - they were pretty wound up after 3 hours in the car!


These next three were taken by Alexander. He's getting pretty good at taking pictures! Subjects - Uncle Joe, Mugsy (Uncle Joe's Dog) and MeMaw with Ashleigh




All set up for the ride home - a DVD player WITH headphones - aah we enjoyed the silence! ha ha


An hour or so later.....



All the VBS kids showing the congregation what they had learned.


Swimming in the new pool - much bigger than the old one!


A new find - a park near MeMaw's house!


A little forlorn - no swimsuits were brought along! Next time!


One hot kid!


This girl could swing ALL day



Relaxing at MeMaw's following the park visit


We went to the 2010 Duck Derby where they drop all of these rubber ducks into Brush Creek and the first duck to the finish line wins a million dollars! So far, no one has called us telling us we won! ha ha They had all kinds of activities for the kids, but it was pretty hot so we didn't stay long.

Catching up - HUGE picture post at MeMaw's request!

Alexander and I made heart shaped cupcakes for Ashleigh's birthday


Smiley birthday girl with her new necklace she got from MiMi


Alexander was pretty upset that he didn't get to blow out the candles - still a little too young to understand how it all works.


Problem solved - just let him blow out a candle too!


Big cheesy smile that Daddy likes so much.


Birthday girl - party day at MeMaw's house!


Playing on the swing


Handsome boy!


Swinging with MeMaw


Show us your muscles!


Princess cake - after a fiasco mix-up at the bakery!


New sparkly shoes!!


Goofy smile with her new Cinderella crown


Princess jammies, new princess crocs and holding her princess castle from her cake


All decked out in matching clothes - Ashleigh and Barbie!


Sasha taking a drink out of the kids pool - eww!


I can never get a good picture of these two!


A fall at the park landed us in the Emergency room with a split lip. No stitches, but they did use the super glue stuff on it!

You wouldn't think anything was wrong with him all kicked back watching Disney in the hospital!


Not a great picture but split lip and bruised chin.


Photography by Alexander - subject: MiMi


Busted!


Tiny Dancer - all ready for her first dance/tumbling class! How ADORABLE!!
