VBS, Hume, Monterey and more

Well it has been CRAZY! I finally feel like I caught up on some husband time. It started with VBS decorating, followed by a week of VBS, a week at Hume and then three days at monterey. And the job of a pastor means that people don't believe in weekends. It sometimes seems like everyone waits to call Tom until Saturday. It's easier to handle though when we have time during the week and so while all of that was fun, its so nice that it's done.

VBS was awsome, below is a picture of crew #2, beneath all those kids is Andy, Rebecca and me, the crew leaders!


Our group was so awsome, they are preschoolers so TONS of energy and after Mike encouraging screaming contests they were all hyped up and loud. My nephew Joseph was in my group and his new best buddy Josiah. So many fun memories, the kids definitly enjoyed it.

My mom and I helped drive the kids up to Hume lake, and then left them. No cell service so only conversations with my husband were on a payphone that I called at a specific time and we hoped noone would be on. My mom wanted to go up and stay two nights at a cabin. I told Tom about the Friday night but for Thursday told him to get to the phone at the same time. I was there waiting. He was VERY surprised. It was good to see him and I got to go to the service they have at night. The rest of the time mom and me read, walked around the lake (and everywhere else) watched some office and just had a fun time.

Got back from Hume Saturday, Sunday Tom worked, Monday we were off to Monterey. Dad, mom, Nathaniel, Dora, Joseph, Tom and me.... because it is necessary to have that many adults when taking a child to the aquarium. :) needless to say we had a blast. And for a couple hours Tom and I went off with Tim to take part in "Tim-fun-interactive" Tim is huge on making games and extension packs and for us he made a scavenger/mystery hunt. It was awsome! There were secret drop offs, pick ups, movie clips with directions, newspaper story's, puzzels and mystery phone calls. It was so much fun!



Even though I'm pouting in the picture I'm having fun, I just didnt want to be all alone in the giant shell.

Sunday me and Rachel drove to Gilroy to meet up with Kristin, it was so cool that we were able to meet up. We got to catch up some, she really needs to move closer.

Saturday we are doing an August babies birthday party, my mom, my uncle and me, yay us! all three babies of our families. And hopefully at the end of this month Tom and I are going to go visit some friends of his who I still have never meet. I can't wait!
