Go Blue!

This year Sam and Blake were on the same team. I kinda missed seeing them play against each other. They always played their best when they were showing off, I mean competing against one another!

 Get it girl!

Samantha was number 3 this year and she was proud of it. That means she was the third smallest person on the team.

Last year she was number 1 and she did not like that at all. :)  

"I can do it Coach"

We didn't have a winning season this year but it was still a lot of fun!

Sittin' On the Dock of the Lake...

Well I was the only one sitting!

NOT AGAIN!!!!

SO GRACEFUL!

Samantha just thought she got away!

HELP!

Jessica and Ellie think they're safe because the boys are in the boat...

Not with Samantha behind them they're not!

Whew! I'm tired just sitting and watching them!

Big Apple Adventure 2011

Bible School!

My FAVORITE week of the year! 

 This year's theme was Big Apple Adventure!

Where Faith and Life Connect.

I had so much fun this year teaching the kindergarten class. This is my classroom...

And my precious class.

Jess and Galyne on the first day.

As usual Samantha was very enthusiastic about the singing. She loves the performance at the end of the week.

I don't know which is their favorite the singing, crafts or the food!

The craft this year was painting on ceiling tiles. The kids loved it. I think it made them feel like real artist painting on a canvas.

And here are their masterpieces.

Here's Sam at the Bible School kickoff.

Snack time!

Leah and Jessica, yes they planned it :)

Samantha and Lilly Grace

Here they are practicing for the big show.

Shipwreck Island 2011

Bethel Kids went to Shipwreck Island together this year. They had a GREAT time, even during the thunder storm. We just all sat under the gazebo and waited out the storm!  

Usually kids are afraid of thunder storms but apparently when they are at Shipwreck Island thunder storms are only annoying enough to keep them (temporarily) off the rides!

They didn't take the "Lazy River" literally.

Surfer girl.

Wherever you find Sam, Blake is usually close by.

Jess on the Raging Rapids.

This one was always my favorite.

Life is good!
