Rock Rolls through Marion

Bret Michaels' tour bus made a stop in Marion today.  They parked onWalmart's lot for a break.  We did not get to see Bret and the roadie said that he would not make an appearance.  The roadie was pretty disgusting looking.  If Bret was close to being that dirty I am glad that he did not make an appearance.  I will keep his "Apprentice" appearance in my mind!

The Buses:

Dirty Roadie!  People actually let him touch them!

Beautiful eyes!

MY SUPERSTAR!!!!!

Carnies

We went to the ridiculously expensive, terribly filthy traveling carnival that comes to Marion once a year. 

And, as you might expect, the kids loved it.

Bible School

The Bible School theme this year was Committed to Combat, so Brady was allowed to wear camo every night!  There were soldiers, eagles, karate pandas and Uncle Sam fighting terrorists - pirates, ninjas and a grizzly bear.  It was a lot of fun with singing, bible stories, snow cones, popcorn and pizza!

Sam, Brady, Ethan and Chase

Chase asked Jesus to come into his heart at Bible School!  He is now our brother in Christ.

About a week before Bible school, Brady was asking questions about Heaven (which we talk about all of the time) and Hell (which is where the devil lives).  He said that he wanted to go to Heaven so I told him that all he had to do was tell Jesus that he loved Him and wanted Him to come into his heart.  He whispered a little prayer (that I could hear) and told Jesus just that!  Out of the mouths of babes comes the truth!

Wordless Wednesday

St Jude Trike a Thon

Brady's preschool/daycare had a fundraiser Trike a Thon for St Jude's Hosptial.  Brady raised $200!  He had a great time lapping the field and wanted to know when there would be another one!

Brady lapping the field like a madman!

Goodbye Chicken Little

Brady went with Nay to April's pool.  He wanted her to take him out in the water, but she told him that he could either sit on the steps or jump in with the life jacket and water wings.  Well, by the time I got there he was "swimming" all the way across the pool, climbing up the ladder and running around to start over again.

Good Bye Chicken Little!
