Busy, Busy Weekend

I honestly can't remember the last time we were so busy outside of the home! Our busy weekend began as Grammy and Grandpa arrived Thursday night from Ohio. Friday morning we headed out to Sears to get 6 month shots of Jason and 18 month shots of Carson. What an adventure. I think I've determined that heading to a studio is a waste of time. They never really seem to cooperate (the kids that is). Here are a few pictures from our morning.

Oh sure, now you give us a great big smile!

The day continued as I headed to Sam's Club to pick up a few items and Matt was heading to Safeway to pick up the birthday cake for Sam's surprise 16th birthday party. We met at home where we were quickly on our way again heading to the party store to pick up the balloons and a few other items. Back in the car and headed to Black Hills State Park where we had a little under 2 hours to prepare the shelter for her arrival. The surprise was a success! A good number of her friends were in attendance and we enjoyed a few hours with some great food.

From the party we headed to Covenant Life Church for prayer and ministry night which was focused on the next generation. It was a powerful evening of worship and prayer. We headed home and practically fell into our beds. We headed out again the next morning bright and early (6:45am) to Royal Bakery for bagels and then back to Covenant Life Church for the Rebelution Tour. What a great day of worship and teaching from Alex, Brett, and Gregg Harris. Alex and Brett are 19 year old twins who are challenging youth to do hard things. Their father is Gregg Harris a pastor out of Oregon. One of their other brothers is Josh Harris, senior pastor at our church Covenant Life.

Here are the pictures of Sam with Alex and Brett Harris after having her book signed by them.
