Ta.....Da....

These girls are just precious! We enjoy Sunday's the most! It's the one day of the week that we get to spend an endless day of swimming and playing with our cousins. It is always fun had by all! This particular day, was our cousin's birthday party. It is hilarious watching all these girls swim in the same swimsuit. Lot's of stripe candy in the water.
I have to add just one more adorable picture of "two peas in a pod"
Happy "pinkalicious" to the birthday girls!!!

Remember....

Remember was our camp theme.
"Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them." Deuteronomy 4:9

Okay, so we took the family to a much needed time away camp before our big move! It was like anything that I have ever experienced before in my life! We have met several families who go to this family camp year after year after year and absolutely love it! So, with us moving in a week and could not go too far, we decided to see what the fuss was about. Amazing! God blessed us with time together as a family. We are so thankful for His goodness.

First, you decorate your car to start the excitement! Check, we did that! The girls had a blast doing it!

When you arrive, the camp crew cheer you on.....
I kid you not....these kids (college folks) have tons of energy that make you yourself believe you too have the same amount of energy and excitement.
Family Camp is all about being together as a family and oneness with Christ. It is a Christian camp that honors and glorifies Christ in all that it does. It's a seven day camp with activities for everyone. We (the adults) have a speaker for the week for morning sessions, kids have their groups, each night is filled with a theme, you even get two date nights (yes, while they keep your kiddos) free time to do endless activities and tummies stuffed with amazing food, skits, talent shows, singing, family worship and lots of silliness. What more could you ask for? Oh, and the best part that makes the camp are all the cheers that the counselors do for EVERYTHING. You even have to sing I am a little Tea Pot if you loose your name tag. You enter camp with the BIGGEST smile and leave with the BIGGEST smile. CRAZY FUN! There is nothing that this camp does not have. It really is AMAZING!!! You cannot replace the time spent with your family without t.v., phone, laundry, cooking any kind of distraction. The camp does EVERYTHING for you. Everyone at camp has a servants heart. All the counselors love the Lord and they share that love with your family and kids.
This is rodeo night. The kids got to chase the cows to grab a tag off the backs. So fun!
Em and her counselor, Chips A'Hoy. Each counselor has a funny name. A name that the kids are for sure to remember.
Daddy too, got a tag from the cow's backside. Congratulations Dad!
This is me on family worship night. Lots of celebration!
This is a great face of MJ right before she did the zip line. A tad scared! She did great and loved it!
AB has the hat on at the lagoon. We spent a lot of time in the water. We had record breaking heat the week we went.

I could go on...and on...and on...about camp. This is just a snap into our week at Family Camp.

Girls=Ballet

Our girls were able to attend a local ballet camp with their sweet cousin. They absolutely loved every minute of it! It lasted a week and ended with a little performance. The girls did a fabulous job! So proud of those sweet chics!
