Vacation Bible School 2013

 This past week was VBS at our church. Although the start of Caleb's t-ball game schedule interfered some, they both had a great time. 

They loved the puppets and story time learning truths from the Bible like not being afraid and trusting in God. 

 I'm sure it is no surprise that Emma Katherine was especially fond of music time.

29 Weeks

This Sunday was 29 weeks with Clayton. He is growing and letting his presence known continuously kicking despite only being the size of a small cabbage.

 After a good day at church and lunch with Grandma, these two were still happy kiddos.

 Emma Katherine was especially sweet with extra loves for Mommy. I'll take those snuggles any day!

 Of course being so cute wears out a little girl. Such an angel when she sleeps!

Happy Father's Day!

Our road trip journey ended just in time to be home for Father's Day. Caleb's handprint poem was about the special things Daddy does and Emma Katherine's card read "I have captured my Daddy's heart. Both were perfect considering what a wonderful daddy Matthew truly is. 

 This little one was the prettiest flower in the garden!

 We enjoyed the morning at church and had special gifts for Daddy too. The kids couldn't wait for Matt to read one of the new books they gave him.

Arkansas Family

 Wednesday we spent the night and all morning Thursday in Helena with Gigi. 

 Of course Gigi was as delighted to see us as we were to see her.

 Emma Katherine spent a lot of time just like this.

 Thursday night was spent with the Suiters in their new house.

 Caleb got to attend Gracie's last softball game while Weston and Emma enjoyed playing, and flashlights brought by Grandpa were a big hit too.

 Friday we captured some happy faces before heading back to Fayetteville. Each time Rachael and I look at this bunch together we can't believe how truly blessed we are with such cute kiddos and will be making room on the couch for one more in September!

 

Our road trip was exhausting but well worth it.

Huntsville, AL

Wednesday morning we awoke early and drove a couple hours to Huntsville, Alabama to spend the morning.

 Because we were there so early and the kids that were there were involved with group activities, we pretty much had the place to ourselves for a good part of our visit.

 The kids sure wore out themselves before continuing our journey.

 Caleb is still talking about the big rockets.

 To break up the rest of the drive we stopped in Tupelo and Oxford, MS.

 We took a quick look at the birthplace of Elvis Presley which included this sweet little church.

Oxford was a beautiful campus, but Caleb didn't know why we would be looking at another stadium besides Razorback Stadium asking, "WHY are we looking at this stuff?" Our journey didn't end until that evening in Helena to visit Gigi.
