The boys heard a story at church about Paul traveling to an island. They created their own "island"…

Awesome Ocean Shores Memory #2
Jun 18th, 2008 by leigharev2
DH belongs to a Worship band. The other families with us on this trip contained the drummer and the female singer.
The drummer and his family were at a deli and in speaking with the owner of the deli they learned that not only did he own the deli, he also owned a seafood market and ran a ministry teen center. On Wednesday nights, they had an "open mic" night for worship musicians. DH, Steve, and Lisa got to play with other people living in Ocean Shores.
Playing ping pong and foosball in the teen center…
The center had about six video stations with different games on each…
DH and Steve…
‘A’ got up and sang a little
‘R’s turn…
Awesome Ocean Shores Memory #1
Jun 18th, 2008 by leigharev2
So, do you remember the enticing post I made about holding tight for some great pictures to come from our trip? Well, here they are…
After eating dinner with all of our friends the first night at a restaurant, while driving to the condo, we decided to stop at the grocery store and pick up some items for breakfast the next day.
Turning the car around, we noticed the fire station had their ladder truck out. We decided to stop and let the boys take a look at the truck (‘R’ wants to be a fireman).
While we were walking around the truck a fireman came up and began talking to us. He offered to let the boys sit in the truck…
We enjoyed talking to him and he asked if we wanted to go into the station house and look around. We met four other firemen. (Here’s where it gets good…) The Lieutenant asked if we wanted to go for a ride in the fire truck!! We got to ride around Ocean Shores and while on the road back to the station house, they ran the sirens and lights!
Everyone got to talk to each other through the headsets…
THEN, when we returned the Lieutenant asked if we wanted to watch them do a drill1 So, two firemen were timed in getting in full gear, extending the ladder on the ladder truck as far as it goes, rotating the ladder and the basket all the way around, then lowering the ladder to ground level.
Here is the Lieutenant explaining what is going to happen…
The drill…
One of the firemen walked across the ladder…
THEN, took a picture of the boys in the basket!
Next stop, the ambulance…
The Lieutenant took us back inside to see the blueprints for their new fire station…
Group shot. What a great night! (The picture is of their Captain, who die last year in a surf rescue…)
Ocean Shores Family Trip
Jun 17th, 2008 by leigharev2
We spent Mother’s Day week on Ocean Shores, with two families who are friends of ours. The weather ranged from sunny and almost warm to blustery and rainy. We were able to fly kites, swim in an indoor pool, play cards, and enjoy each other’s company.
The boys taking the road less traveled with Christine…
DH and ‘R’ flying the Ladybug…
‘R’ fell in the ocean, but had a good time doing it!
The younger boys enjoyed watching T.C. skateboard in the parking lot…
They also enjoyed watching M.C. play video games on the computer…
Lisa, flying her kite. She was really good!! (I am not…)
Playing cars in the sand dunes. This is ‘R’s all time favorite thing to do…
How cute is this picture?! JH is getting ready for the pool!
More pool time…

Swim Class
Jun 11th, 2008 by leigharev2
We are wrapping up swim class for the year. This is where the boys are now skillwise. They are just learning the overhead crawl, and working on swimming without using their arms; just legs.
My first attempt at video…
A Roots and Wings Day-5/6/08
Jun 11th, 2008 by leigharev2
(I don’t remember what day this was…)
Linda taught a lesson on Ecclesiastes 3: A Time for Everything
Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
(‘A’ was a time to kill :))
(‘R’ was ‘a time to build’)

Cars and Legos
Jun 11th, 2008 by leigharev2
‘R’ is CRAZY for cars. And Legos. He could happily play with these two toys all day, every day. The first thing he typically says in the morning is, "Daddy, do you want to play cars?"
One morning, he led us into the living room to show us what he did. He created a set of Lego cars and they were racing on the windowsill (Speed Racer is big in our house right now…)
Sidewalk Chalk
Jun 11th, 2008 by leigharev2
We had a day, maybe two, in May, where the weather was nice enough to play wiht sidewalk chalk outside. Our friend ‘O’ enjoyed drawing with the boys.
