What is on Fire?

We had an adventureous weekend! We started out by going to family camp and meeting up with some of our great friends. The Bums decided to follow us home wich we were very excited about. They helped with our Sunday services wich was a huge blessing. We then went to action city and had a great time playing and fellowshiping. We went back to there motel for a swim and then the girls went to dinner and the guys went to a baseball game. I guess this is when the fire started. On our way back we recieved a phone call from our husbands that the motel was on fire they were staying at. Well, if you know our husbands, you would know they like to "get us going". So we were not believing the tail at all. So as we drove closer and smelled the smoke and then saw the smoke we were a little suprised. But in it all we saw the Lord and he is always amazing. No one was hurt and the Bums were able to get all there stuff out later that evening. They also were moved to a very nice motel where they enjoyed the rest of there time in eau claire. So here is a few pics of our adventureous weekend.

And of course the FIRE!

Big Accomplishment

Alyssa has graduated to no training wheels. We took them off on a Friday and by Tuesday she was ready to go on a long bike ride. She is riding everywhere and enjoying her new freedom. I cannot believe how big she is getting.

Dress up Days

One of my most enjoyable times as a mom is watching my kids come up with crazy dress up outfits. They love it and it is cheap to pick up things at garage sales or thrift shops. Here are a fews pics I am sure they will want to burn later in life but I enjoy the laugh now. Sometimes Grandpa evens joins the fun. He thought he would look good on a Harley in his princess helmet.

On the Move

I know I have not blogged a lot lately. My excuse is moving. We found a nice 3 bdrm with a yard and so we have moved. I will try to be a little more current now.
This is the kids in front of our new place.
I even have a rose bush. It was a bonus.

I believe that is a pinecone?

Changed the Name

As many of you may know we voted the change the name of our church. So as not to confuse anyone, we are now Victory Baptist Church. Please pray for us as all the changed take place during this process of changing the name. We are so greatful to the Lord for his guidance during this process.

Best Friends

We recently were in watertown and it happened to be mothers day weekend. The ladies at Fellowhip graciously invited Alyssa and I to a ladies tea. Alyssa was able to catch up with her friend Kendra. They met in the church nursery and have been two peas in a pod ever since. They cherish each moment together now though because they live 3 hours apart. Here are a few pics of them enjoying there few precious hours together.

Discovering New Places

As you may know we moved about 10 months ago, I love finding new, free places to take the kids. Many times this means a park. I found this park on my way to a Dr. Appt. and took the kids there a couple of weeks ago. It is beautiful. It is right along the river and has a huge playground. (The little girl is one of my daycare kids. )

This slide is huge. Both of my kids climbed the stairs thinking they were going down. They chickened out when they looked down the slide.

Something over there was definately more interesting than getting there picture taken.
