July '19: VBS, Hills Alive, hiking, YG tubing

Evie was technically too old for VBS (I think? or it was her final year) but she went all the same.



I believe the kids raised money to support a Nebraskan church that was flooded out during the wet spring. They also worked toward taping Zeb and Moses to the wall. 



I love that look they're sharing. 😂



One day while the kids were at the church Terry and I drove down to visit Paul and Jana. Love them! 



There's always hail in summer but there aren't always dahlias that are behind in their growth. Terry was so kind as to run out there and cover them all up. 



I loved him running around under that umbrella for me. 💚



The following weekend, July 21, was Hills Alive. It had been a while since we'd gone but For King and Country drew us out. 



Evie with Sarah and Naomi.



Evie dancing with Grace.



Samuel and Ezra already look so much smaller here to me (it's February while I write this though).



It's always a huge crowd. 



Happy girls. 



Bouncing girls.



I did a more professional haircut for Luna since I finally figured out how to use the guards. 



David took Noah and Moses out a few times for hiking. 



He's the best! 




Beautiful. 





Creeper Noah 😂




Terry still does youth group in the summers when he's not on a trip. This particular event had been already been rescheduled to this night, July 24, due to rain and lightning. But even still it was cloudy and cold! 



Terry and Steven constructed a huge waterslide!



The littles had so much fun. So did everyone else!



The fall was very quickly approaching and I had to get my school stuff in order. I spent hours and hours planning and shopping. 



That kitty is so chill. 



The littles helping me water my dahlias. 



Haircut time for Evie. 



Our very good friends from Nebraska, Shawn and Becki, visited us on July 27 while they were here for their anniversary.

VBS 2018

I didn't have a VBS post for last year like normal since we were on sabbatical and only had to drop off so this summer we were back to the usual crazy VBS routine directly after the bike trip. We were tired but we got it done. Oh, and as a huge bonus, Terry didn't have to organize the games! The mens team partnered up and owned it. They did amazing. So while Terry didn't have to be there, I did since I was the photographer. It was so weird! 



The first night, Sunday June 17th, these guys were cracking me up. Love it. 



Samuel front and center.



Amanda and Suzie did the snack stand. 



Evie with the hula hoop.  



Samuel sling shotting a ball during their first game.  



Apparently I worked the next day, Monday June 18th. Oh yes I remember why! I went in just for three hours so I would have enough hours to renew my license. On this day I also discovered that from here on out I need to work more in order to keep my license updated. Therefore I'm starting to take most Thursday afternoons. 



Monday evening VBS festivities. 



Samuel playing soccer. 



Ezra kicks ball!



Ezra kicks air!



Ezra pulls rope.



Ezra tries not to let on that he knows I am photographing him and he doesn't like it...or does he. I still haven't figured him out. He seems to like the attention and hate it in equal measures. I dunno.



Evie also trying not to notice she's being photographed.



Behind to the left of the floating balloon. 



Hey he's got a ring! 



And actually this night, Tuesday, I didn't go to VBS although I had planned to. Terry went as photographer so I could go play sand volleyball and I was going to take over when I was done. However it absolutely poured while we played so I had to go home and get dry. As an added bummer, we lost. 



Terry got some cute pics though. 



He painted a rock.



Evie and her small group led by Lynn.  



Evie and Samuel participated in a little skit. 



Samuel doing the awesome craft Chad put together - leather stamping. They made bracelets and he still wears his every single day. 



Asher cracks me up.



Evie and Abigail frantically playing with the parachute. They loved that game.



Katrina and her family in matching Korean flag shirts.  



Her dad was one of six going to Macau to teach English and share the gospel the following month (actually right now).  




That's about it for pictures. Terry did an amazing video so I don't need to add anymore. Just wanted to remember my kids.
