Knights and Fair Maidens - VBS 2013

VBS last week was amazing... the kids had a wonderful time and really enjoyed themselves!  We were all ready to roll on Monday morning and just waited for the children to arrive!

The children loved the worship songs... as did all the adults and we all had a great time singing and dancing.

Lesson Time was great fun and the children learned a lot!

Our Cast were fabulous and had a blast every day doing the play.  The kids thought the play was so fun and the children absolutely loved the cast!!

We had been working on the set and decorations for about 3 months in the build up to VBS.

Each day had a theme... 'Helmet Day' was a popular day!  The girls had fun dressing up at Princesses and the boys had fun as Princes and Knights.

Even our older boys groups had fun with our worship songs this year!

Craft Time... always popular!

Classroom Time was new and interesting every day and the children learnt a lot about God and the Armour He provides us with!

We had about 163 children this year!

Signing t-shirts.... a VBS tradition!

Boat Fun with Friends and Family!

The day after the Warrior Dash, we hit the lake in the sun for some more fun!

Kayle and River were ready for the fun!

We played around on the boat all day, wake boarding, eating, hanging out and just laughing!

I love my family! 

We are Warriors

It's time... time for THE WARRIOR DASH!

I have wanted to do the Warrior Dash since we did a car-parking fundraiser for church lat year... so it was time.  We got a team together and hot the road for Maple Valley!

I made our team some shirts and we formed 'Team Cancer Sucks'!

My sister and her bestest buddy, Jenn came up from California to take part in the run!

Nervous was a good word to describe how I was feeling... I had promised myself that I would do as many of the obstacles as possible, but wouldn't push myself.

We were ready... we lined up at the end of our time group and was ready to go!

The race begun... and we made our way through the course!

Bales of hay were some of first fun obstacles... along with lots of mud!

But we conquered them... and hit the 'Over / Under' run! 

My team were amazing... they helped me up, down, over and under!

Cargo Net anyone...?   Yup, we made it over that too... with help from my friends!

Oh yes, then more mud... that was so fun!

We all survived the course and had a wonderful time doing so!

Such a fun experience with friends!

This stupid cancer stinks, but it has motivated me to have fun with friends and family and just enjoy life to the full!

The Faithful Fighters Car Fundraiser

The 3 day walk fundraising continues...

I had planned a Car Scavenger Hunt to try to raise some money for our team!  We had a good turn out and a fun day was had by all!

We got some little trophies for the team with the fastest time and most points!!

Some of our fun participants!  The amazing Ken and Tina Grant!  Love these guys... they are all about games!

Although we only had a few people turn out we all had a great time and managed to raise over $300 for our team!
