Promised post

WOW...three posts in one week??? Crazy right? Anyway- Tuesday we put up our big blow-up slide that we got last year. It was actually warm enough to turn the water on too!!! Finally, summer is right around the corner, which means school is almost over- YAY!!! Now onto the pictures!


A full length picture of the slide.


Mid-jump shot of Sonia! She has been loving the slide this year, last summer she was a little scared of it!


William almost falling off of the end!


A picture of all of the kids, that was before I went down, and got soaking wet.

Sorry it took me so long to write this post, but our computer was acting up! I hope that you enjoyed the pics! Thanks for reading-Bailey

Please Pray for Emily

Emily is 16 years old and is battling leukemia. She was diagnosed with it last year, and up until now she seemed to be getting better, well very slowly. She recently found out that her leukemia is getting worse, and that the chemo that they will have to be doing will be worse than what she has been experiencing.

I ask that you lift her and her family up in prayer as they go through this journey together.

Pray that she will have strength.

Pray that she will feel God right along side her.

Pray that everyone in her family will have courage.

Pray that if it is God's will that she will heal and the cancer will go away completely.

She lives in England, think how cool it is that she has people in America praying for her to heal. Isn't God just AWESOME!

Think about it, what if our prayers were answered? What if she was completely healed, and she never had to deal with caner again? Wouldn't that be just awesome?

If you click on the button on the side of my blog that is titled, "Pray for Emily," you will go to her blog. There you can read more about her treatment.

Please, please, please just spend a few minutes right now to pray for Emily. If you would like, I would love if you joined me in doing a blog post for her. Just spread the word as fast as you can, she really needs your prayers!

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through him who gives me strength." God can do anything, and if everyone prays for Emily, it will be amazing what God will do.

Thanks everyone- Bailey

Mom's Day

Well here is my mother's day post...two days late! But hey- it's the thought that counts right? Haha...anyway we had a fabulous mother's day even though all we had for lunch was pizza! It's kinda hard when your dad is a pastor to actually cook mother's day lunch. Later my dad's brother, two sister's, my grandparents, and all the grandkids came to our house for dinner. There are 13 grandkids. Not. Kidding. We had a blast! We played a 20 person game of kickball...it was the best kickball game I've ever played(even though our team lost. I'm not bitter(said with sarcasm).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mommy-









First of all you are just awesome. You have invested your life into so many other people(bottom pic) and even as they go off to college you still make sure that they every meal, that they are not staying up to late, and are doing their home work. Now you teach the 7th graders and are pouring your heart out to them, wanting them to be Godly men and women when they grow up. Every day you deal with the four us, and some how manage to love us at the end of the day. You spend so much time on other people, and barely spend any time on yourself! I know sometimes you would rather be doing other things, but you still do them anyway! I don't know how I could manage without you as my mom. I love you mater(mother in latin, I call her that all the time), and always will!

I hope everyone had a fantastic mother's day! I will post tomorrow about our fun sliding adventure we had this morning(pics will be included)! Thanks for reading- Bailey

Amazing Day

I have had an amazing day!

1. Was done with school by 12:00!
2. Got an adorable handmade ring in the mail from one of my mom's good friends!
3. Spent $17 dollars at Mighty Dollar on craft stuff, all the stuff I got would have been at least $50 at Hobby Lobby(gotta love a good sale)!
4. Got a delicious frozen pink lemonade from McDonald's for only 2 bucks!
5. Started my day off by reading my bible and doing my devotional!

All of that adds up to be an amazing day in my opinion! Just thought I would let you know how my day is going! Hope you have had a great day as well.

We're DONE!!!!

Well with Mock Trial that is! Mock Trial was something that we had to do this semester for school. Our whole Challenge B class had to participate, and let me tell you, it was, as someone else put it, the Super Bowl of the 8th grade! Haha, it was very hard, but I feel like I have learned a lot through it. We did lose the trial, which means we won't move on, but I am honestly kinda glad that we lost. I really don't think that I could have done that again. Whew, it was soooo stressful. But next year I am going to help the next 8th grade class prepare for Mock Trial!

I would like to thank Eve Finch for helping us prepare for Mock Trial. She was such an encouragement to us, and she taught us so much through the whole year. I am truly going to miss her being my teacher next year!

I would also like to thank my parents for coming to see us in Mock Trial, and helping me throughout the entire year! Honestly, i can't believe I will be in high school next year, but I guess I can't make myself stop growing up!

The last people I would like to thank are all of my friends who were praying for us yesterday, and all of the people that were there to support us last night!

Thanks again to everybody!
