Graduation

This past weekend, we went down to Olathe, Kansas for my cousin's graduation from MidAmerica Nazarene University. We had a really fun time!



Ready to go to the graduation

Getting ready to go swimming!



Playing Partini - that's a really fun game!



Mom and Dad in front of their old apartment that they stayed in when they attended MidAmerica. We even got to go into the apartment and look around! Mom and Dad sure had a fun time showing us all over campus. :-)
Congrats, Rachel!!

El Dorado Springs

May 2nd - can you hardly believe it?? Green grass, flowers, the sound of lawn mowers - spring is here!


Last week, Dad and I were in El Dorado Springs, Missouri for a revival - it was a wonderful week! We praise the Lord for all the work He did in the lives of those in attendance!

We stayed in a beautiful camper outside the house of Leonard and Barb - some dear friends of ours who attend the church

The church

They have this beautiful pond outside the church

They also had a playground and a shelter

Leonard and Barb took us out to his "fishing hole" - Stockton Lake








Then they took us down to the Marina




We even got to feed the carp - they would go absolutely crazy when we would throw out the food


This adorable dog was drinking out of the water - it was hilarious!


We thought this was so cute


I just want to say that I ABSOLUTELY loved playing this amazing piano at the church! All week we kept trying to come up with a way to bring it home with us! =)

Leonard and Barb [a very special thank you to them!]
Thank you for your prayers! Tomorrow our family will be heading down to Olathe, Kansas for my cousin's graduation from MidAmerica Nazarene University. We should have lots of pictures to share when we get back!
