Adventure Week in Action

I already posted about Adventure Week at our church earlier this summer. Here are a few pics of our little praise team girl in action...







I am pretty sure I see 'So You Think You Can Dance' in our future!

A girl and her date

How lucky could a girl be to get a date with this fella...

goodbye 2nd grade, hello 3rd!

Somehow, someway another school year has come and gone. Here is the first and last day of 2nd grade.

We were blessed with another good teacher this year. Mrs. M has been teaching for a long time and ran a very laid back classroom. A great teacher and a great fit for Peyt. 2nd grade was good to us, and now we are ready to see what 3rd grade has to offer. We may or may not need 3rd grade to really step up big in the spelling area.

A few of the highlights from the year...





Hard to believe this August we will have a 3rd grader amongst us. Time is marching on, and I can't seem to figure out how to slow it down. Proud of our girl for sure!

Adventure Week

I am so proud of my girl today! This week is Adventure Week at our church. A few weeks ago there were tryouts for the praise team for this week, and when I told P about them, she was all about it. I said, "P, you know what a tryout means, right?" "Yes, mom! I might make it, but I might not." Okay then, off you go! Have fun! And, she made it. The praise team kids are on stage with the leaders and sing and do the choreography for the praise and worship songs. The kids were divided into two teams, one for the morning and one for the afternoon. Peyt is on the morning team.

We have been hearing the songs and seeing the dances for days now. They had one last practice yesterday afternoon, and then this morning was the first day. Her daddy dropped her off, and then I brought Mason with me to see the opening songs. They started the first session and all of the praise team kids come running out onto the stage clapping and getting in their spots. There was my girl, front and center. Gettin' her worship on for Jesus. Could. Not. Stop. The. Tears. So many thoughts and emotions going through my mind as I watched her. She did not seem one bit nervous being in front of over 600 other kids. She looked like she was having the time of her life. I watched her and thanked God for our church. I thanked Him for Peyt and her heart for Him. I prayed that she will always be 'front and center' in her testimony for her God. And that she will always be 'brave' in her praise and worship for the Father, no matter who is watching her. My heart is full! I am one proud momma today folks!

P--Daddy and I could not be any prouder of you. It makes our hearts so happy to see you worshipping Jesus with all of your little heart. May you never lose that, sweet girl! May you always honor Him and want to worship and praise Him with your life no matter who is watching you. He is great and worthy of our praise! We love you little praise team girl!
