He is going to college next week...

Camp, my 5 year old, is now an official 'two wheeled bike rider'. NO MORE TRAINING WHEELS. Saturday, March 19th, was the day! He has been ready for a few months, but we weren't! I have pictures  and video... I will post later.

Snow Day

My daughter =)

 Don't worry mom and dad, I PROMISE Chad was going really slowly as he pulled Camp around on the sled =) with the four-wheeler!

*Nash was enjoying some special time with Ninny this day =)

Camp's K4 Play

On February 17th, Camp had his k4 play at MRA. It was PRECIOUS! The theme (obviously) was a Red White and Blue! 

The picture below was when Camp saw us for the first time =)

(I got there really early and got seats on the first row! For those of you that know me, this is a HUGE deal  b/c I am never on time these days!)

 This was during his class' "song". His poor head bobbers kept falling off, (big head, remember?), so he just took them off and kept singing! I was so proud. He could have messed with them the whole time, but he didn't.

 Below is one of my favorite things about this play. They learned the Lord's prayer and it was AWESOME. Camp came home talking about the Lord's Prayer the first day that they started learning it. Seriously, it took him less than a week to have it totally memorized! His sweet voice when he says, "forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors" brings tears to my eyes everytime! Proud mommy moment.

 Camp with my dad (Papaw) and my mom (Lele). Proud Grandparents!

 Camp with Chad's mom (Ninny) and Chad's dad (Dee). Another set of proud grandparents!

 Proud mama and daddy!

Sweet Baby Tate

 On February 12th, we were blessed with another newphew! Jonathan and Gretchen had TATE and we are so glad he is here, happy and healthy! He is a doll and Gretchen is a champ! The whole family is smitten with him. Below is the proud new Daddy talking to his son...

 Look at how Jonathan is looking at G in this picture!!!

Chad's Mission Trip

Chad went to Albania in February for a week. He had a wonderful time and learned a lot. His time was blessed and he knows that he wants to go back again. 

Below is a picture of a demonstration that went on outside their hotel the first morning. Chad said that there were easily 6,000 people there - and they were playing ACDC music REALLY loudly and shooting fireworks! It freaked him out at first when he heard the fireworks (thought it was gunfire), but he realized that it was a peaceful rally. (Click on the picture and you can better see how many people are there).

 The night before Chad left, Camp was a little teary. Chad was talking to him about what he was doing and where he would be going. Camp got up and ran and got one of his favorite transformer cars and told Chad to take it to a 'boy who looks like me, is five and likes to play soccer'. This is a picture of a sweet lady with Bethany that was going to give the car to just  the right boy!

 Traveling up the mountain to the World Vision school. This was a roadside vendor. Chad bought some fruit so he could take this picture.

 They had an overnight layover in Vienna, Austria on the way back. Chad said it was BEAUTIFUL!
