Ok, so first we have VBS. It was all last week, and Jeromy made sure he had his schedule clear (at least until the afternoon in some cases) so he could be there for VBS. He was actually one of the teachers, for the ages 9-11. Jade and Kent were his assistants in the class. Cousin Laura had ages 4-5 I think it was. Here's some random shots of the weeks adventures...

Here's Julia and Jade...

Laura and Beriah...

Children of the VBS....

Jade and Ashton...

Here's Tessa, myself, Jeromy and Jade.... the adults and the teens all showed up an hour early everyday to help set up for that day's events for the kids.




Jade and Kent outside helping supervise a scavenger hunt for the kids...The kids listening to one of the teachers explain the rules of a game...On friday, the last day, I stayed the whole time (since I work nights I wasn't as involved as Jeromy and the kids) but I was able to see Jeromy and Kent in a skit they did for the parents and kids. Jeromy was Abraham, and Kent was his son Isaac. They did great.Next I have pictures of "Concerts by the bay", where Port Orchard waterfront has bands play, and our church has it's trailer set up with free water and coffee for people and maybe some enlightened conversation... isn't he cute....Next I have a couple pictures with the Triggs'... we went for coffee-unless-you-were-under-13-you-got-hot chocolate!!Then Jeromy wanted steak for dinner... that's how we roll. The kids were cool with that!And NOW, we have the Whaling Days run and parade!!! I think this is my 4th or 5th time doing this run. We missed you Misty and kids, but I hope your ankle is feeling better, make sure to not over use it!!! Here was our group of runners/walkers... Kent, myself, Joanne (Jeromy's step-mom) Kyle, my mom, Hannah and Philip from church, Jade & Megan from church.

But not picture was my co-worker Regie! Here is Kyle, myself and Regie, we 3 ran the 4 miles...Here's the 6 kids that ran/walked... Kyle was the only kids who did the 4 miles and he smoked it! He ran 4 miles in 24 minutes and a couple seconds! He's amazing! I kept telling him that. I finally asked if he was getting tired of me saying that and he said ya, then he put his hand behind his ear and said "one more time", he cracks me up! He also won 3rd place in his age division...WOW!Here's 3 generations of runners/walkers, this is my mom's first race!! Woo-hoo mom so glad you came out with us! That number should go in your scrapbook ya know!!!Here's the girls in the family of the group... Jade, Cindy, Katie and Joanne.... Our family... who's that guy with the crazy cowboy hat???My super cute kiddos... Kent and Jade... Kent ran the one mile, while Jade walked the one mile with her grandma and Joanne...Some candid shots of everyone standing around waiting for the starting time...Jeromy was so sweet, he was waiting at the finish line for me. He's take a picture then run way ahead of me and then take another picture. Here's the 2 he took....Jeromy didn't run cause he's been having issues with his knees... lame. Poor guy cause I know he'd love to be out there running too! I didn't do my best time. But I ran the 4 miles in 43 minutes 35 seconds which averages to a 10 minute 51 second mile. Ideally I like to do a mile under 10 minutes so I was kinda close. But we had a great time!

Ok, so I still have pictures of the Parade, the BBQ at Laura's and our first chicken egg, BUT our computer is saying I have reached my quota for uploading pictures. What ever, I know I've up loaded more than this before, so I guess this is where I'll have to stop. I'll try to blog the rest of the fun events tomorrow!!!

Try and stay cool our there this week!
