AWANA Award Night

We had the fun of attending AWANA Award night at Lazy Mountain Bible church. BreZaak's kids have been participating all year.  We are proud of all four for completing their books. Trudy wasn't able to be in the program this year. I took one picture before I realized Bre was up front and would take better photos.

It isn't lost on me what a blessing it is to be able to be at the kids' activities. I may not know what each of these awards are for - but I do know each represents hours of learning and memorizing scripture. 

Way to go kids!
Gideon, Bella, Annie & Josiah

This is the one picture I took. The kids were all up front singing worship songs. I got a kick out of Annie and her friend in their own little world. 


April's Tidbits

Here it is - tidbits that didn't make a blog post. Assume the parents of the child or the person in the photo sent me the photos unless the photo is watermarked. 

Gideon is way more laid back than I have ever been at the dentist!

Spring has truly arrived. We are all enjoying it. Everyone is busy finishing their school year and making the most of outside hours.  Here are photos from a recent trip to a playground with CoRielle's crew. The boys have purchased their kites with their OWN earned money. Way to go!
