BOMERANG EXPRESS!

This week we have been going to our church's VBS..."Boomerang Express"! The kids are enjoying it very much & all of us that are working with VBS have had a GREAT time fellowshipping...(is that a word?) We have all enjoyed the time we have had together this week & can't wait until next year!

VBS @ POPLAR SPRINGS CHURCH

The kids had a wonderful time at "Studio GO Game Show" VBS this week. It was held at Poplar Springs North Baptist Church in Dudley, GA. It was GREAT for them to be able to go & learn more about GOD & have fun with other kids while doing it!

HAVING FUN LETTERBOXING!

We have just started Letterboxing! It has been a BLAST!
For those of you who don't know what letterboxing is...my cousin did an article on the subject...

It is a GREAT family activity & the kids especially LOVE it! It's like a scavenger & treasure hunt put together! I encourage everyone to check it out! We are planning to hunt/find several when we go to the beach next month! We can't wait!

CHANDLER GRADUATES FROM KINDERGARTEN!

Today Chandler graduated from Kindergarten! They had a nice end of the year program where they sang, read poems, & did a skit...

At the end we watched a very cute DVD (that we all got a copy of!) showing pictures of the kids throughout the year! It was so fun to see how much they had all changed this year!

Then it was time for diplomas & memory books. Chandler also recieved a Certificate of Achievment (The M&M Award) for being the most Math Minded student! He's are little smarty pants!

FUN DAY AT THE POOL!

This past Sunday we had a GREAT time with the kids at the pool! Ash, Chandler, CJ, & I went for a late breakfast & then headed for the Holly Hills pool! By the time we left for breakfast...about 11:15am...it was already 93 degrees! So, after breakfast we went home to change into our bathing suits then headed for the pool! There were a few people already there when we got there & I made sure to slather the kids with sunscreen & myself...Ash did NOT request any & now looks like a LOBSTER! I covered myself & I still got burt! Luckily, the kids didn't get any...Chandler had on a swimming shirt & so all he got was a little red on the sides of his head...not bad...& CJ got a little on her back but neither have complained! Other than that we had a good time playing catch in the pool & out...We really had some good family time...It was just a FUN time! We hope to do it again soon...

WEDDING FLOWERS!

Well Saturday was the BIG day for the wedding! The flowers were delievered Thursday afternoon...after a few set backs they all FINALLY arrived! Thursday night I prepped all the flowers...cutting tips of stems, putting them in buckets of ice water, etc... The last group of flowers I did were the large roses, we ordered 1/2 Bi-Colored Yellow with Red tips (50) & 1/2 "Hot Orange", a coral color (50)...well when I got to that box of roses...ALL WE GOT WERE 100 Yellow & Red! NO Hot Orange! So, we try calling the flower company & they are already closed!

So, I finish prepping & put all the flowers in my "refrigerated" bathroom! It's called turning the air down to 60 degrees & putting a fan in there with flowers in buckets of ice water...It gets REALLY cold!

And then Friday night after I got off work I got to work on arranging the flowers for the wedding...

It was a LARGE wedding so I had a lot of stuff to do so, luckily, Vicki could come and help me for a little while before she had to go home...With her help we finished all the 19 boutonnieres & 11 corsages! Then I was left on my own to do the 12 bouquets & arrangments...

It was a LONG night but everything got finished & (if I do say so myself) they were BEAUTIFUL! The bride (Jenny Price) LOVED everything! Then entire wedding was BEAUTIFUL!
