Cubbie Award Night

Wednesday night was Cubbie Award Night. We are so proud of Micah for finishing his second book. He has memorized a lot of God's Word this year and we pray that he will continue to keep it hidden in his heart. I enjoyed the opportunity to spend this year with him in Cubbies as one of his leaders. Now that Cubbies is over he is looking forward to starting in Sparks next year. The next morning he said, the next time we go to Awana, I'm going to be in Sparks. He's growing up too fast!!!

Here are all our Cubbies!

Singing the Cubbie song

Micah loves the part that says, "we jump and shout for JOY!"

Receiving his 2nd year book award

He's so proud of his accomplishment

Way to go Micah!

Having fun playing on the playground after the awards ceremony

Resurrection Sunday

All dressed up to celebrate Resurrection Sunday
What a handsome young man

And our beautiful little princess

Ashlyn loves to climb up in her little rocking chair. Here she is playing peek-a-boo.

Yeah!!!

Fun Times with the Kiddos

Ashlyn enjoyed her first bicycle ride

Micah had been practicing his bike riding, but took a break to run around a little

Ashlyn is not yet walking, but she loves to climb. She is very eager to learn how to climb the ladder to the top of Micah's bunk bed...

Because playing up there is so much fun!

Playing together with the trains

Micah is finishing up with Faith Kids with the letter "Z".

It's been a fun year, and he is very excited for his Faith Kids Graduation in just 2 weeks!

Baseball Day at Faith Kids

We had a special day at Faith Kids where all the boys participated in baseball practice while the girls received a ballet lesson. Micah loved being a baseball player. When he returned home and told Daddy all about it, Daddy suggested that maybe they should get him his own ball and mitt and Daddy could teach him how to play. Micah quickly replied, "You don't need to teach me. I've already been trained!"
All lined up and ready for practice

First they learned to throw

Learning to catch

Finally, time to hit the ball!

Micah loved running the bases. Here he comes...

There he goes...

Now in the outfield, ready to catch

All the boys descended on the ball at one time

Running to tag out Seth

Go team!

Thanks for the lesson Mr. Backes
