Camp QFM 2010

The past three nights we our church has has what you might call a family vacation bible school (vbs).  We call it Camp QFM.  It's awesome!  Their was a lot of singing and dancing, crafts, dinner, fellowship, and a skit each night.  Here are some pictures:

Beginner baby steps

For those that know me know that I am not a very should we say organized person.  In other words my house is messy, my van is messy.... Mess really doesn't bother me.  I've always had a messy room growing up, a messy house with one, two,three, etc. children so it's not just that I have kids or whatever. I think it's just me.  I know it's not a good example for my kids.  And I'm sure my husband would enjoy a clean organized house.  So,  I am starting a program that I happen to stumble across while doing something else to help change my messy habits. Have you ever heard of The Fly Lady?  She has a website for people like myself to learn how to change messy house habits, declutter, get a hold on the laundry and many other things.  I have decided to take her beginner baby steps challenge.  Day 1 starts tomorrow.  I will let you know how it goes!
                                                     

                                                               

Vanessa lost her 1st tooth

It's funny because Shane just lost his first tooth last year at 7 and Vanessa is only 5 losing her first. 

Vanessa before she lost her tooth

Vanessa after she lost her tooth

She was so excited!  Her tooth had Been wiggly for awhile now.  We were at the last day of swim lessons.  She was biting on her towel and out fell her tooth.  She couldn't wait to tell EVERYBODY!

Random summer photos

I love the long skinny arms of a newborn!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Jonah

Vanessa and her buddy Dan

Here is this years interesting insect (remember last years?)

Tyler, James, Vanessa & Shane in the hot tub

My dad gave me a Topsy Turvy® planter for my birthday. I didn't really think it would work, but I guess it does.

This was a beautiful sunset the other night. Unfortunately, the picture doesn't do it justice.

I also LOVE the little newborn rolls!

LOVE IT! James loves his little brother.

Tyler in the sprinkler

This picture of a moose was taken at the MN zoo.  I thought it was a good one!

Justin and Shane were blessed with tickets to a Twins game at the new field.  Here is a shot of them before the game.

My kids have had a ton of fun on the trampoline this summer. They put the sprinkler under and jump.
