I know it has been a very long time since I have posted any pics. I need about 12 more hours in my day to get things done. We have been to Branson , MO for a couple of days. We had a great time even if it was in the 100 's . We played laser tag , which we have never done before we really had fun playing. Scott and Jess took a Haunted Tour of downtown Branson, we did some shopping , ate alot of great food, made several stops at Maggie Moo's. We rode go-carts, played games , rode bumber boats and just enjoyed getting away for a couple of days. But also glad to be home. I hope you enjoying looking at some pics from our trip............

This is the Ejection Seat in Branson. Scott and Jess have wanted to do it for years. I have a fit and they don't do it, Well this year they did do it. Kara and I almost had a heartattack. If you have seen people do it you know why. I have a video I am going to try to put on here. The pics do not do the ride justice. Me and Kara was sooo glad when it was over!!!!!!

This is the Ejection Seat in Branson, Scott and Jess have wanted to do it for years and I have a fit and the don't do it ... well , it didn't work this time against mine and Kara's begging they did it anyway. Me and Kara was so glad when it was over. It popped the blood vessels in Scott's eye, I have a pic but it too gross.

the go-carts.

Church Camp 2008 !!!! We had around 18 kids go this week to camp. Had alot of fun !!!

These are 15 kids from Bee Branch Baptist Church that worked very hard on learning some new songs. Kevin, Lana , Scott and myself took this bunch to the Nursing home in Clinton to sing and visit the elders.. Then we went to the park and after that we went to Pizza Hut to eat. Everyone had a great time and the kids were wonderful.

Sunday morning before Sunday School and Church......

These are pics from our trip to PlayWorld. We had a blast. Scott ,Jess, Kara & MaKenzie flew through the maze , ( the girls more than the guys) . Can't go there without trying to win alot of tickets. Between Jess and the girs they had over 2000 tickets. Had a great time.

The 3rd grade classes went on their field trip last Thursday. We had alot of fun. The pics of Kara and MaKenzie and Kara and myself was taking at the Museum of Discovery in Little Rock. Then we went to the park at Greenbrier to eat our sack lunches and spend the rest of the day. The weather was very nice after a very short rain shower.

This pic was taking from the gym door. On 5-2-08 our lives were changed, as we see how powerful God is. All the prayers and tears will never be forgotten as God laid his hands on South Side School and protected each one that was there that day and the ones TRYING to get there to get their children. There was so much devastation that day, but at the same time so many wonderful stories of miracles about how God protected people that were in places that had nothing left but were they were. Our prayers are with the victims that lost everything but their families. Everything else can be replaced, family can not. But we will not forget the grandparents and granddaughter that lost their lives this tragic day. As it will never be the same around here as other times when tornadoes have touched our lives, but we will pull together and help each other as all the other times.
