SUPER Fun Weekend - Warning lots of pictures!

Since I have been out of school for the summer, Fridays have become my most favorite day. David is off on Fridays because Sundays are a busy work day for him, so we all get to play together for the whole day. We spent Friday morning and afternoon around the house, but after nap time we definitely got the party started! We took Carter, Summer, and Tilly to Jump for Joey. Now, those of you who are not from our parts may not know what this is. It is a building that has wall to wall inflatable jumping machines! We had SO much fun! David and I even joined in on the fun a few times. Save a few people, we had the run of the place to ourselves; it was awesome! Carter has been to one of these jump places several times, but this was Summer's first time. She was very cautious, but Carter was sweet to encourage her! I overheard him one time say to a boy 3x his size, "Watch out for my sister!" Aw! There was a great little place for Tilly to play as well. She had a blast! Here are some pictures from our fun Friday. After Jump for Joeys, we ate supper at Moe's. What a yummy ending to a fun day!

Now for Saturday. . .the children slept until after 8! I broke out into the Hallelujah chorus many times from the confines of our bed that morning. We drove out to the mall to walk around and see what we could see. With our sweet Summer starting school for the first time this year, we wanted to buy her some new clothes for her big debut! Belk was having an awesome sale. We bought her four precious outfits for $30 and saved over $90! That's my kind of shopping. After a quick lunch at the food court, we made our way home with our loot, or Summer's loot rather. Quick naps were in order because we had a pool party just waiting for us! A sweet lady in our church had the children over for a pool party on Saturday afternoon. We had a great time playing in the water, soaking in the sun, and eating yummy food. You know good ole Baptists can't fellowship without food!

Look at those curls. David says they have to go soon :(

David and Tilly. Real men wear pink, you know!
Tilly's picture says it all. We were worn out after a fun day!

Now for Sunday! For the month of July, we have been having "big church" in the chapel. It has been a sweet time of worship for the last few weeks, more intimate I think. David has been teaching about Forgiveness for the last 5 weeks, and today we ended our time with the Lord's Supper. I have been blessed to have sweet friends visiting me every Sunday we have been in the chapel. I have loved it! Today, our special friend Emily came to worship with us. She attends FBA, but Dr. Stanley was going to be out of town today, so she came to our church. We were honored. Emily joined our family for a quick lunch before heading home. She took some great pictures, so after she sends them to me I will add them to this post. We have known Emily for 5 years now - wow, has it been that long? We met during the summer of 2004 while we were all three on staff at MFUGE in Nashville and we have been friends ever since!


What a SUPER fun weekend it has been for our family. To top it all off, my sweet husband bought me a new toy! He is the BEST! I love it, especially since it plays the Georgia fight song!
