Westside Summer Festival
.jpg)
Saturday, July 25th, 2009
Today was the Westside Summer Festival in Lansing. The festival had live music, kids games, give aways, and loads of fun. We wanted to attend so we could watch little D's kindergarten teacher sing in her band called "Summer of Sol". First, we got our faces painted, visited the health tent, and did a bike rodeo. Then, we headed to the stage to hear "Summer of Sol" play. Little D's teacher has a really awesome jazz band. Little C and I danced the afternoon away while little D and big D sat and enjoyed the music.
Good Times,
Big C

Cousins
July 22nd - July 24th, 2009
I picked my nephews M and J up in Holland today so they could spend some time with us. When we arrived home little D explained to M ....quote "I have a little big bike that is medium" straight from the mouth of babes. Gotta love them. Then J and Z got the video games out. It was fun watching the four of them (Z,J,M, and little D) giggle and getting excited playing PS2's Smack Down vs Raw. The next day we took the kids to Hunter's splash park and zero depth swimming pool. It was a little chili if you got out of the water, but the kids didn't care until they found the outdoor shower with hot water. I tried to climb the rock wall but it was too hard especially since I had a bum arm. After the pool big D and I took Z,M,J, little C, and little D to the play ground area. We ended our fun time with a swim in our pool on Friday and a trip to Grandma S's for dinner.
VBS - 2009
July 21st - July 24th, 2009
The theme for VBS this year was Lifeways' Boomerang Express. Church had a mini pep rally after Friday's service and it was very special to see the kids do the dances/songs they learned during the week. Little D got a prize for bringing her two cousins M and J to vacation bible school. I recieved a TON of praise from the teachers in cousins J's 2nd grade class about Z. Mrs. Teacher said Z was very helpful and really good with the kids. I am so proud of you Z and thanks for volunteering to help at church.
Theme Song:
by Jillian (6th grade)
On the boomerang express,
it all comes back to Jesus
So we should all act good 'cause
we know he sees us
Our God is so mighty,
so loving and great
He gives us warm shelter
and food on our plates.
Say a prayer,
does not matter where;
and he will tak yo
into love and care
So follow your Lord
in heaven above
And give him respect
and a whole lot of love.
Trinity's VBS had 660 students attending this year.
Ball Tournament
Saturday, July 18th, 2009
Big D played in an all night softball tournament tonight. I enjoyed watching him play until he got hit with the ball in the leg. OUCH!@##@ It was nice to spend time with a good friend. I laughed all night, it could have been the lack of sleep too who knows.
