4th of July Weekend!!!!

We kicked off our 4th of July weekend with a SKY SOX game with Church! It was Grayson's first baseball game to go to! He really enjoyed it EXCEPT the mascot - the fox! He was deathly scared of it for the first half of the game!

Here are some pictures from the game!

Matt's Mission trip with the youth group!

Matt went with the Youth Group on a Mission trip to Ashland, Montana... it was a week long mission trip that focused on helping people on an indian reservation by doing work projects on their homes. Here are a few pictures of his trip! Matt driving a VAN FULL OF TEENAGE GIRLS! now thats a mission trip! 9 hour drive!!! Matt admitted that he dislikes mini-vans a little smidgen less after 18 hours in it!

The mission trip was coordinated through Group workscamps - youth from all demoniations come together to help those in need.

400 youth were at this camp this week... here's a pic of some opening programs!

The local native-amercians did a cultural show for the kids one day.

Matt workcrew!

Matt says that were an awesome crew!!! completing 4 worksites in 5 days! He was very proud to be their leader and enjoyed creating friendships with his crew!

While Matt was working his butt off :) I was a single mom for the week! Grayson was great! he missed his daddy very much but he was a good boy for mommy!!!


Here's a sweet picture I took with my phone while Daddy was away! I'm soo glad to have him home and very proud of Matt and his impact on youth... he's a great example to them of a Man of God who loves his Lord and Loves his family!!!! I love you matt!!!
