I just wish that our camera didn't make all the pictures come out all orangey. I can't wait till Christmas, when we will get a NEW camera! Yay! Orange or not, I thought these were cute:

Before I went back downstairs, she gave me a hug and said, "Next time, we're family!"

Banana enjoyed all the steps he found around the garden.

The lovely, old, and haunted (!) Crescent Hotel. I thanked my lucky stars that the wedding was OUTSIDE!!!!!!!

Noodle enjoyed getting her hands on the wedding cake. Thankfully by this time, the reception was over. Noodle took pride in poking each and every icing daisy that was left on this cake.

Long Overdue Pictures

From a day at the park a few weeks ago. The kids enjoyed climbing on a toy car and driving to Wal-Mart.

Noodle, looking pleasantly pensive. There's always lots to think about when you're playing at the park.

Me and Noodle.

Me with Chicken Nugget.

Banana having the most fun ever on the slide!

Though it looks like it, I'm really not holding his head in place!

Striking a pose.



Now, long, long overdue pics of Vacation Bible School, which was in June! The theme was "Gameday Central, Where Heros are Made," so we had a sports theme. I taught the missions class, and we learned about missionaries who teach the Gospel through sports.

This was part of our missions classroom. Can you tell that those are fans in the stands? We (my helper and I) painted that! We always have lots of fun decorating our rooms.

Another corner of our room. It's supposed to be a truck. You know, for tailgating. :o)

The music room. Cute, huh?

Noodle and Chicken Nugget in the music room.

Noodle's very firts time on stage! This was during the VBS program. Though it is a blurry pic, you can still tell how cute she is!
