August was a month filled with new challenges and so many blessings, and we made countless special memories! Here are just a few random pictures.
New 14 year old in the house! Beware!
SOMEONE quietly shut the door while Paul was in his room and made quick use of the scraps of danger tape Jerry brought home from the work sight.
This summer, though I have been so bad about posting about it, we had a blast participating in the Arizona Bible Bee for the first time!!! We finished in August and everyone gathered for Celebration Day. Here are just some sneak peak photos of the games at the Hive Meetings we attended.
Ready to play Water Balloon Battle Ship!
Introducing our family's team of Bible Bee-rs, complete with a banner Jerry created.
She was...um, ecstatic.
With cardboard hangers and everything!

The birthday meal!!!
Ice Cream. Of course. :)
Up front at church with all the others whose birthdays are in August.
Numerous scavenging trips to thrift stores. Thank God for Goodwill (and reverse cameras to pass the time away!!)
Kate made this scrumptious banana pudding & vanilla wafer thingy that disappeared within seconds of it being placed on our table at church (it never had the chance to participate in the potluck food line). :P

House of girls; ya know, gotta warn them.
The girlies with some friends
A hilarious Bible quiz with buzzers and all
Hopefully a post about Celebration Day and some more of the festivities will appear soon. Somehow. :P
Drawing, drawing, drawing!- has been the theme around here. Ya gotta be careful nowadays, when you think you're just sitting on the couch reading. :)
We think these two are exceptional:
She drew it off a photo and recolored with a smartphone.
Paul drew this one, also off a photo. Isn't it REALLY good?!
And....
For some days, a secret for BB was being put together (in the closet :P) by the older little girls and when it was finally revealed...
She was...um, ecstatic.
A whole doll clothing store was set up...
She was presented with a stack of Monopoly money and immediately began shopping for her various sizes of baby dolls.
And that was a really random post of all the things I didn't have time to post about in August.
Thanks for reading!
