VBS!

August 27-31, 2015

VBS week has arrived and I am so excited!  I love VBS!  This will my 6th VBS and I am sure it is going to even better than the rest!  This years theme is Kingdom Rock, where we learned how God helps us to stand strong!  

Mom took some pictures of us before we left the house.  I am going to be in the pre-k class again this year, Makayla is going to be in the 2's and 3's class, and mom is going to be teaching 4th grade!

This was the best picture mom was able to get of Makayla.  She wasn't so into taking pictures this morning.  It must still be early!  We had a fantastic first day learning how God's love helps us stand strong through Psalm 23.  Everyday we got to learn a new a new bible verse.  Today's verse was "I love you, Lord; you are my strength" (psalm 18:1).

Day two has arrived and we headed up to mom's classroom to make sure it was set up for the day.  Mom thought we would take our picture in front of today scripture that she had on the wall.  Today's scripture was, "so encourage each other and build each other up"  1 Thessalonians 5:11.  Today, we learned about how family and friends help us stand strong through the story of Esther.  

Since the theme was kingdom rock, we thought we would put on some of our pretty dresses and look the part of being princess of God!

A picture of me by myself.  Day 2 at VBS was a blast. 

I had fun in my class.  I wasn't so sure about being away from mom, but there were lots of wonderful teachers in my class who loved on me and helped me have a great time!

After VBS today, we stayed for lunch with our friends.  It was nice to get to catch up with friends, since, we have been gone a lot this summer!

Day three and we are still going strong!  Today's bible verse was, "Don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything" Philippians 4:6.  Today, we learned about how prayer can helps us stand strong through the story of Nehemiah rebuilding the walls around Jerusalem.  

We had big smiles for mom today!

Do our faces show how much we love VBS week!

Day 4 and we still have so much to learn about God!  The bible verse for today is, "Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock" Isaiah 26:4.  Today, we learned how trusting God helps us to stand strong through the death of Jesus Christ.  

We are getting the hand of our morning pictures.  

You just got to love this face!

What do you think of my new friend that I met at VBS?

Every year we love to get our picture with Kerrie, our amazing children's leader, who is in charge of this fantastic VBS.  We then print off the pictures and put it onto the huge picture board she has in her office!

It is fun to go into her office and see the pictures of us together through out the years.  I change every year and look older, but Kerrie looks the same!

It is a tradition that we started with McKenzie, but I want get in on the tradition too!

Nothing like my cheesy grin!  

 Here is our Friday morning VBS picture.  Mom went to work today and dad is in Prineville, so, Hannah came to watch us and get ready for VBS.  Hannah happens to be our neighbor, so, this morning after she got us ready for VBS we headed to her house to help her clean up her front yard which got TP'd.  We thought it was great fun, Hannah not so much!

After VBS, we got to help clean up Mrs. Stephanie's room (Hannah's mom).  We sure had a wonderful week at VBS learning how to stand strong for God.  Today's bible verse was "your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path" Psalm 119:105.  We learned how the bible helps us stand strong through the story of King Josiah.  We can't wait for next years VBS.
