I'm hoping VBS is a good enough excuse for not posting pictures of the birthday girl on her actual birthday! We are really having a great week in VBS, and we did not totally overlook Allie's birthday! Since she wanted to go to Sea World, that trip took the place of a birthday party. We had a blast with our friends Paul David and Judson (and Mrs. Candice and Mr. Paul). It was both of our first vacations with friends and we called it a success! I'm sure Candice got some great pictures, so I'll be sharing more pictures from Sea World later, but here's what I got:
 |
| Ready for fun (June 12, 2013) |
 |
| The water ski show that I had been looking forward to |
 |
| After posing with Shamu, Spence said, "I didn't know whales were fuzzy." |
 |
| Waiting for the real Shamu (check out Allie's face) |
 |
| The kids loved the Sesame Street characters |
 |
| Allie and the Count |
 |
| Farewell to Sea World! |
 |
| Two days at Sea World will wipe you out! |
 |
| And I had to add a picture of the big roller coaster that Coleman and Brian couldn't get enough of |
On Father's Day, Brian and the kids took a picture by the OralID boxes. I think that will be a great reminder of what was going on for Father's Day 2013! It's been so nice to have Brian working from home,
enjoying his work, and having NO commute!!! We have dinner together every night. That is totally new to us and we are loving it!
 |
| Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy we know! |
Sunday was also Allie's last time in the Church nursery. Now that she's 4, she will come to church with us for worship, then go to Children's Church! And on Wednesday night she will go to Kid's Bible Club. What a big girl!
 |
| Love this little 4 year old, and her photo bombing bro! |
Monday was Allie's birthday, so after VBS Nana and Poppa met us at Los
Tios for a birthday lunch. Gotta love a girl who chooses Mexican food
for her birthday lunch! And Grandma, we sure missed you. On your next visit Allie will take you to get a taco!
 |
| Chips and salsa make me happy! |
 |
| The banner I've been using to decorate for Allie's birthday since she was one |
 |
| The cake that Sam's forgot to make! They were fast though and had it done by that afternoon. |
Allie, you are truly a blessing to our family! I thank God for you and pray every day that you will grow up to love Him, know Him, and serve Him all your days. Sometimes I look at you and wonder where you came from - this blond, curly, full of personality little girl that turns heads everywhere she goes. I'm so glad you're part of our crazy clan!
