Beach Day!

Last Saturday some of us friends and family got together and went out to the beach for a day. It was fun and very relaxing! We needed a day like that. Justin had a great time playing and crawling on the sand, but towards the end of the day he developed a temp. so he didn't enjoy it as much as he could have...BUT that means were gonna have to go again to make up for it! yay! :) The guys had so much fun boogie boarding and swimming in the ocean, even some of the ladies tried it! Not me!I have a true fear of the ocean i don't know why...i just get panicky and refuse to go any deeper than a few feet in. So I just layed out, played with Justin and took pics

Here's a Video of Justin and his cousin Jason Anthony playing, with me taking the video being a goofy mom! :D

Two digit months yeay!!!!!!!!

TODAY JUSTIN IS 10 MONTHS OLD!!!!! HE'S GROWING IN SO MANY WAYS AND HE IS SUCH A GOOD BABY! WE ARE SO GREATFUL THE LORD HAS BROUGHT HIM THIS FAR... now its time to start planning his big 1st Birthday Bash!!!! :D

Life after camp season...

Hey everybody, just wanted to update on our not so exciting life after summer camp season! hehe. Its been GREAT! I have loved the fact that its been more relaxed and laid back. John still keeps himself very busy with all the new plans going on at camp, he took 2 trips right after camp season. One was to Veracruz with our youth group, and the other to Woodlands Camp in Georgia with Jason. His day-to-day work also keeps him going but there is much more time for the fam now and for painting some rooms I've been asking him to paint for a while now. :) We have a deal worked out where he paints, and I DECORATE!!! So technically I do more work! haha! yea right! I do the fun part HE does all the hard work! but it all works out in the end cause he wouldn't want me painting and I wouldn't want him decorating! haha...we're almost done, its just that Justin and I have been terribly sick these days with colds and things slow down when mom is sick, were hoping to be done today though so we could MOVE ON! Apart from that we've been doing a lot of visiting friends and family, shopping, taking walks, reading, and planning for future goals! Hope everybody is enjoying the last part of summer as well... SOAK IT UP!!! :D

Blazing a Trail...

The Summer camp season is officialy over and we have great news to report! The Lord was so good to Camp Loma de Vida! We saw over 480 kids and youth come out for camp, and about 6o salvation decisions! Each week was special and exciting as the kids learned how to "blaze a trail" in their community and local churches. The focus of each week was clear and purposeful; get the kids to realize the importance of being separated to Christ alone, and be leaders in their local churches. Along with great preachings, the kids enjoyed the pool, social games, water games, sports,crafts, paint ball, and GREAT food!!! We have the hardest working and BEST cooks in the World! :) Our staff (over 25 of them) worked hard everyday and we thank the Lord for who he provided, camps would not be possible without them!

We are glad to report that the Lord is opening Doors to buy a new property that will allow CLDV to move and expand just a few minutes north of where we currently are. There is a great vision for this new place and we ask that you join us in praying for the plans that are in the works! The summer went by so fast and we cant wait to get started on the plans for next year!
