Past Week in Pictures

 Audrey has been busy in the kitchen.  She loves cooking and baking & she is way more patient than I am with little helpers...they all love to look on and "help" and she takes the time to teach them.

 Kevin celebrated his 32nd birthday!  It was a quiet day at home on his day off.  He played video games with his brothers in the morning and then played with his kids in the afternoon.  We went out to dinner and shared his cake with friends.

 Audrey made the cake so here is the chef with her masterpiece.

 Ruie and Kevin are the only ones who like German Chocolate Cake =)

 We also had a going away for a April, who is headed off to college.  Can't believe she's leaving us!

 Here is the guest of honor, with her Texas burger...not that she would find anything like this in Texas.

 LJ and Titus have been busy outside & he came in claiming he caught a baby praying mantis.  I thought it was just a piece of grass, but sure enough it's the smallest praying mantis I have ever seen....so cool!!

 Pretty much I've just been waiting to spontaneously errupt. I don't know what is the lesser of the two evils...childbirth or c-section.  But it looks like it's going to be a c-section on Tuesday unless the Lord does something in me these next 4 days...3 more nights...but who's counting?

This picture was taken today, it's current...I'm done!!  Hope your week has been as enjoyable as mine.

Happy 4th Of July!

 On Tuesday the 3rd we headed on base to watch some fireworks.  It was a fun show and a great evening out with friends.

 This is Mrs. Patti and Alyssa

 Ruie LOVED the fireworks

 Titus didn't like them, he wouldn't even watch them! 

 Mr. Craig

 Audrey, who took all of the above photos for  your enjoyment.

 On the 4th our church did a beach bash.  We had a great time.  However, these are the only two pictures I took.

 Then we went to the Phipps' house for our own firework show.

 Ruie didn't want to be trapped in Amy's arms.  Thanks for holding her, Amy!

We Caught a Ruie

 Afternoon entertainment at the Johnson house =)  She really enjoyed this and was the last one to be captured.  All the other kids tried it out first.

Evening at the Park

 Kevin was gone last week, helping a mission team up in Sendai.  We got to have Bekah with us all week.  Almost every night we went out and had fun, in the cool of the evening.

 We wore Titus out.  He fell asleep as I was reading the Bible story.  He doesn't do this much, so I had to get a picture.

CCO - Celebrating 10 years of God's Faithfulness

 A couple of weeks ago we had a big 10 year celebration.  It was a ton of fun!!  I can't believe that the Lord has allowed us to be here for 6 1/2 years.  It was such a good night to recall all that the Lord has done here in Okinawa!

3 pastors from the states came to visit and here they are praying for Pastor Rick and Kristy.
