Wonderful Week

Monday, July 11th
Vacation bible school started this week and it was the first time Isaiah got to participate!! He had a little trouble letting me get up on stage to lead the music while he stayed on the floor with his group, but after the song got started he was just fine, singing and dancing! Claire was at church, but got to spend the week down in the nursery with Miss Brenda. She cried every day when I left, but had a blast anyway! :-)

Today we got to eat lunch with Patty and the boys and see them off at the airport. We met at McDonald's in Gretna and ate lunch. After lunch we went to the airport and got to watch the airplanes while we waited for Patty, Levi, and Calebs' flight. And we got to see a TON of planes both landing and taking off. The kids loved watching them, especially Claire.

Claire loves to dance, play with the kitty, and do some sort of yoga moves!

Thursday was an eventful day for us! It started out by the kids and I going out and "pulling weeds". We had gotten them some gardening gloves and Isaiah was set on going out and pulling weeds. I got to work on the landscaping for about 45 minutes while the kids played and Isaiah did a little helping!
For lunch I had some yogurt and Claire we insistent that she needed some, so I gave in and let her have it. She had a blast eating it by herself!
After Claire napped and Isaiah had "quiet time", we went to the library. They were having an event with the Wildlife Encounter from Gretna. It's an organization that rescues wild animals found in the state of Nebraska. They had an alligator, a legless lizard, a snake, a coudimani, a tortoise, and a siberian tiger. My favorite was the tiger and Isaiah's was the snake!

We went to the zoo this morning with Grandma Nancy. It was very HOT, so our favorite part today was the "Hive" where they kept the bugs. It was our favorite because it was air-conditioned! Isaiah got to hold a really large grasshopper. Claire really wanted to hold it too, but her hands were too small!

Today is our anniversary. Six years! Wow, has times flown! To celebrate we sent the kids off to my parents to spend the night and Andy and I went to see the final Harry Potter movie! I was well worth it! We then went to eat at our favorite restaurant, Vincenzo's. It was a wonderful date night.

Today we went to church for the VBS program. The kids got up to sing their songs and, of course, Isaiah refused to stand up on the stage. Mom told me this was never a problem for me when I was that age....don't know why! After church we ate lunch and then we took Isaiah to his first movie in the theatre!! Mark, Sara, Andy, and I took him to Cars 2. He did really well, with the exception of one bathroom run and needing more popcorn! We enjoyed the movie. It was a little hard for Isaiah to follow, but he still enjoyed watching the race cars! We're thinking either Muppets or Smurfs for his next movie!
