Free Slurpee Day

The kids really love 7/11's Birthday because they benefit with a free slurpee.

This day was especially nice because we went to get them on our way home from church as it was water day for the children's ministry and it was really hot!

Please Pray for Gabriel

Gabriel has been running 102 fever since Tuesday. He is not sleeping or eating and is only drinking a little bit. Last night we made a trip to the ER as his doctor thought he maybe getting dehydrated or malnutrition and PRAISE JESUS he was not...but they are now treating him with high doses of 2 antibiotics for strep throat and a viral infection rash he has developed on his chin. We are praying that tonight he will get a good night sleep (in his nice and freshly washed sheets and bedding....We are NO LONGER wanting to fellowship with these germs!) and that the medicine will start to kill the sickies and he will wake up feeling better.

I am so thankful that through all these days of having such a high fever Jesus has protected him and held back the seizures!

OUR GOD IS GOOD ALWAYS!

Pictures Papa will love!

We stopped by the Grave Diggers Dungeon on our way home and it was really cool. He has his whole yard full of his big monster trucks and then the gates open to his work shop or garage so you could look in and see.

It was actually really cool. The boys really loved it!

This is how big the tires are..as Big as Nathaniel!

What can I say???? lol

Really cool!

Destinee didn't think it was all that cool but managed to get her to take a picture ;)

Cape Hatteras Light House

This was really cool to see...

He is so crazy!

Serving in Hatteras

It was a huge blessing to be able to teach and serve the kids for CC Hatteras Island's Mid Service. Mr. Will teaches them every week and does an awesome job with these young "Body Builders." and it was so cool to be able to serve so that he may attend a mid week service which he has not been able to do in over a year. We really enjoyed it. Destinee lead and taught the preschoolers with the help of Spencer and Junior. They taught a really cute story about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. The told the story and then did this really cute skit that the kids loved and then they wanted to act it out too and then made this cute craft and song.

John and I taught the rest of the kids. It was a pretty cool group of 5th graders who all loved the Lord so much and were so eager to hear the word, to pray and to be apart of the things of God.

We did a really cool interactive story about Meshach, Shadrach and Abendigo and their commitment to stand in Faith!

We told the story through crayons and then through body movements and then John drew these cool pictures of the story and we hid them around the house and they had to find them and then put them in order of the story and retell the story. It was lots of fun!

We were BLESSED!

Fried Pickles

Each day as we drove to the beach we passed this little sandwich shop and their big sign that says "Fried Pickles"...YOU KNOW I HAD TO TRY THEM!!!

We finally stopped in on our last trip to the beach and they were so worth the wait! I LOVE pickles anyways but they were actually really really good.

I went to walmart last night after we got home and did my grocery shopping and got all my ingredients...going to try and make them myself!

Everyone thought i was crazy cause i wanted to try them but after they tried them..they were won over!!!

Fun in the SUN :)

A week in Hatteras was lots of fun!

We enjoyed our family so much :)

Gabriel did not enjoy the beach as much this time..it was very windy and the waves were big and loud and so he sat this way a lot...lol
