Christmas in June & Birthdays in July!

June & July were months of celebrations and gifts for us.  This month we celebrated Gray's 2nd Birthday on the 23rd and Kyle's 9th Birthday today the 30th.  Aside from our family time of celebration with them, Kyle received a package for his birthday from the BMX Boys Club from Shirley Hills Baptist Church in Warner Robins, GA.  Shirley Hills is the church my(Brad) mother still attends and the church I grew up attending.  It is also the church Kim & I were wed almost 17 years ago.  Needless to say Kyle was very excited to open the package!

Some of the many great things in the gift!

In June we also received a bunch of wonderful things in a gigantic package from the Sunday School Class of Dennis Wofford from Immanuel Baptist Church in Olive Branch, MS in June.  It was like we were having Christmas in June!

WOW!  What a package!

Christmas in June!

Gray loves orange Tic-Tacs!

FIELD TRIP

Playing with snakes at the Vivarium (Reptile House) in Quito

This past week Kim & I and the kids took a field trip into Quito with our Spanish teacher.  It was great to have a change of pace from our normal routine, and it is always a great experience taking the bus into Quito especially with the entire family.

Aside from visiting the Vivarium we went to Quito's biggest park, and ate at McDonald's.  Yes, McDonald's.  That may not seem like such a big deal, but it has been 4 months since we have had McDonald's, and it took us 3 buses, a long walk, and about 1 hour and a half to get there.  They are not on every corner.
