Happy 5th Birthday Lanerbugs!!

Wow I cannot believe you are already celebrating your 5th birthday! You are such a sweet boy and full of laughter and smiles. I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday and how happy we were to finally have our baby. I also remember going to the doctor and finding out that we were going to have a BOY and how excited we all were. You are a great big brother and we look forward to seeing you start Kindergarten this year!! We love you so much and pray that God continues to bless you with such a caring personality and love for Him.

Happy 4th of July!!

We had a great time today celebrating the fourth. Lane went to the parade in Walden today and loved it. He got lots of candy and a few toys.

After the parade we went to Uncle Doug and Aunt Mona's house to swim. Uncle Doug cooked hamburgers and hot dogs. Lane especially liked the beans!! The food was delicious and we had such a great time. Lane and Macie got to swim together and Avery loved kicking and playing in the pool too!

Vacation Bible School

Motto:

Know the truth!

Speak the truth!

Live the truth!

Lane and Avery attended Vaction Bible School at CookSprings in Huntsville this year. This is Lane's 2nd bible school and Avery's 1st. Lane has really blossomed in his knowledge of the bible. In fact, one of his teachers was telling me that all of the kids were being really loud and not listening in his class and he made the announcement to them that when they are bad they are making the devil happy and they are making Jesus sad. His teacher said that all of the little kids' eyes got really big!! A couple of mornings ago he woke up at 6:00 am to use the restroom and the first thing he said to me was "did you know that God's holy word is the bible?" He never ceases to amaze me. All of his teachers said how good he was and how excited he was to learn all of the hand motions to the music. He did a wonderful job in the program and was very attentive the whole time. He was so serious and in tune with God and it was so awesome to see him worship the Lord.

Happy Birthday Bamber!

Amber we wish you a very Happy 32nd Birthday today!!! You are a great sister and a wonderful aunt to Lane and Avery. Lane talks about you all the time and every time he gets in trouble he says he wants his Bamber! He was so excited that today was your birthday (partly because he knows that his is right after yours). I hope you have a fabulous day and we can celebrate many more birthdays to come.

P.S. I saw the unicorn cake pan at Mom's the other day so I think you should ask her to make it for you. I'm sure she wouldn't mind, she did Avery's.
