The Luthern Church VBS

Parker's friend Jaxson (and our neighbor Allyson) invited Parker and Owen to go to VBS at the Luthern Church this week!! Owen wanted to stay home (without his big brother for a change) and play with friends so just Parker went (except Owen went on bring a friend day)! Parker really enjoyed it!!! I only got one picture (that didn't turn out well) from when they did their program on Thursday night!

4th of July

 I didn't get to do a lot this year since I am still on bed rest... but I did make it to the Battle Creek (BC) parade and then later that night to the BC Fireworks with my dinning room chair!! :)

At the parade we caught up with Adam and Jodi and family... and snapped a few pictures!! :)

A photo from Jodi... :)

The Battle Creek FROG JUMP!! ;)

At the FIREWORKS our little Drew was FRIGHTENED by the sound... so he 'hid out' behind my dining room chair until they were done! I did however catch him peeking out a time or two to look at the pretty colors in the sky!!! :) LOVE this boy!!!!

Happy 4th everyone!! :)
