Hiding God's Word in our hearts!

Well, another year of Awana has come and gone. We had the kids' awards ceremony this past Sunday afternoon. We are so proud of each one, as they worked hard to memorize all their verses each week. I know (Jackie) that the Scripture I know today is from what I memorized in Awana years ago. I am not so sure I would have very much to recite if it was not for that program. I have added links to clips of the girls getting their awards at the bottom. It is so funny to watch the two girls and the differences in their stage presence. What a hoot. Serious Ava and silly Aslynn.

The other pics are from the weekend that we spent at Uncle Phil's lake house. The kids had a blast riding on the boat....even went for a quick swim in the lake. Derek thinks he has arrived, as he can drive the four-wheeler by himself. He even chauffeured the younger ones on it. He did really well. Daniel took an accidental dive not to long after the picture I posted. If you can just imagine, he was not paying attention to where he was walking and tripped and fell in. :) It was a nice get-away for a couple days to get ready for the week.

The kids are excited they are in their last month of school. The boys are out the 31st, I think. The girls finish up the 17th. Mom only has a few more weeks of shopping trips, grocery stops, and relaxation ALONE before she has a crowd to bring along with her. :)
