Pictures from Bunco Babes Weekend!

We came back on Monday the 15th, we had a great time! This was the first time to the Shrimp Festival for everyone but LeighAnn. We shopped, ate some seafood (except Terri), great Italian from Franco's, played Rumicube (which is like rummy and dominos), make pictures on the beach. It was a great weekend, we hope that more of the group can go next year! It was really fun taking these pictures, we laughed had we had sand all over us! It was nice to get some shots of myself...Thanks Tracy!!



I actually have one more roll that I need to get developed and post some from it...so be on the watch!

Guess where I am going???

Gulfshores!! to the Shrimp Festival...The Bunco Babes are going...sad to say not all of us :( Amber, Tova, Terrie, Tracy, LeighAnn and me!! We are leaving in the am and will be back Monday in the pm!!! Will post pictures on Tuesday!

See ya!

I am the saddest one....

Yesterday I received some bittersweet news...we are losing James as our Youth Minister. He and Emily have been praying about this for a couple of months now and he feels he is doing God's will. Coming of Age is the band he is a member of along with Drew (his brother-in-law) and Chris (his cousin-in-law) and the Lord is really opening doors for them and he felt he could not give our youth 1oo% and they deserve that. I really appreciate all they have done for our youth at Bethel, they were exactly what we needed at the time they came 17 months ago. My prayer is that God will continue to use him and the band as they minister across the Southeast to youth. Here is a picture of this sweet family! They are dear to my families heart! All of our prayers are they can stay apart of Bethel family, and have a place to come home to when they are not on the road.

Here are a few pictures of the band in action at a recent event:

Mother-Daughter Weekend in Destin

Here are a few pictures from Destin, we went over the Labor Day holiday weekend for a mother-daughter get away. Our plan is to continue this adventure on a yearly basis. We had a great time, the weather was perfect. We read books, took in some rays, watched dolphins, ate some good food and most of all enjoyed so good, silly at times fun! I have a few more to add, but it will be Monday.

Have a great weekend!

Here are a few more pictures...

Here are a few pictures from Destin...

Such a great week of fun and relaxation!! We had a really great time...could have stayed another week! Here are just a few pictures...Treva is working on me a disk of what she took...and the beach potraits are on there way shortly to Phillip's Photo in Tarrant.

Buck had a blast, he loved the sand, chasing the birds and actually playing in the water some this year!

We ate some good shrimp po'boys at Shuckum's in PCB (went 3 times!) Donald loves their oysters...he had Cajun baked, crab baked, and some other flavor. Bayou Bill's was just yummy, Fudpuckers and AJ's was good too. We ate at another place called Kenny D's recommended by Susan and Greg Gilchrist and it was good as well.

We played on the beach, skim boarded/boogie boarded, walked on the beach, sunbathed. The one time I venture into the ocean I get stung by a jelly fish, Treva and the boys got in several times. The pool was nice too.

Susan, Greg, Cooper, Madeline and Leighton Gilchrist were also at Destin and we hung out and played on the beach oneday and got together and had a Shrimp boil, with all the fixings along with some yummy homemade vanilla icecream.

OK here are a few shots...
