April Fun!!

Our life before the craziness of busy team season--somehow I missed April!  Oops!

Enjoy our life through photos!



The kids finally got to go shopping with the money that Pastor Sherri gave them (in January!)


We welcomed two teams in April:

Living Hope Baptist Church, Bowling Green, KY


Family Christian, Houston, TX




We got to work in Rio Azul putting in some stairs in the community



Bruce made his famous cheesecake for the team--this one is a cinnamon roll

Received a lovely gift of bath bombs!



We finally finished the upstairs hallway with wood and painting and decorations!

The beauty of God's work!
 Leyton was asked to carry the flag in for the assembly of Juan Santamaria Day! If you know anything about his behavior struggles, this was a BIG deal!

He was so excited to be able to carry the flag!
Got to take the kids for a little ice cream treat!

Leyton had a couple of friends over to help him excavate dinosaur bones

Leyton got to learn how to use Daddy's drill pres



Family movie night!


Team game night! Watch Yo' Mouth!



Our fearless leader, Steve Thomas

Poas Volcano--one of the first eruptions!

We went to a church celebration at a church near us.



The celebration

Cooking on the grill and over the fire!

Can you find Leyton? Eating lunch with the church

 We went to see Fast and the Furious 8 in the 4-DX movie theatre. Our first time! Awesome movie for it! I think we about got motion sickness!

Double date night with Natalia and David

This is what happens with the beard!
We got to celebrate Leyton's birthday!


Lunch and playground at KFC--his choice

Chocolate cake!

July Fun!!

July was a busy month for us--as it always is BUSY TEAM SEASON!

But we still got to have some fun during all the work!

Check out our life through photos!  ENJOY!

We got to start the month out with a birthday party with our Tico family!  Always a good time!

Playing games

uh, no caption needed!


 Leyton got to go to a summer camp through the daycare.  Here he is with a couple of his friends!

Such a big boy!
 We got to hang out with our interns a couple of times!
How many people can you fit in our truck!? 7 in this picture!

You can never have too much pizza!

 This is what socialized medicine looks like.  Clinic waiting line to get an appointment.  This was at 6am!


We also welcomed 5 teams during July!

Scheduling Institute, GA

Faith Community Church, IN

Grace Community Chapel, NJ--our VBS team!



Christian Life Center, IL

Living Water, KY



Loving on our growing puppy!

Our shirt for the VBS camp

Leyton just checking out the newspaper while mommy and daddy run errands!

This is what we do to interns--"i's for fun!"

We got to celebrate another birthday on one of our teams! Happy birthday Jonathan!

This was what we unloaded for our VBS team!

And this was our dinner for our VBS team!


Here we are enjoying Day 1

Leyton and his friend

Goof!

Emme's friend and instructor
 We also got to go to a waterpark with one of the teams!
Having fun!

The water slide was a hit!

This is what shopping looks like for teams!
 We had an intern staying with us for about 2 1/2 months, Alex was a great help!


Bruce undercutting her hair!

We were all leaving on the same day!
 In July, I was also fortunate enough to head back to the States for my Uncle Gary's funeral and visit with another friend how lost her husband way too early!

I'm so thankful to my husband who basically decided for me to go back.  It was a wonderful time with family and friends.
At my uncle's funeral. He was a Marine Veteran

So glad my cousin was able to get this honor for him.


Of course while in the States, MUST eat at White Castle! YUM!


While in Fort Wayne, I got stopped by two trains at the same time! on two different tracks! First time for everything!

Got to head to La Paz waterfall gardens with a team!

This is what happens when you offer your kitchen to an intern to cook!

Got to take two cuties to the movies for their first time! So fun!



While Mommy was in the States, there was some Daddy/ Daughter time!



Thanks to one of our teams, Leyton's bike was finally finished!

Class picture of Emme's class!

Look at those sweet pups!


Anyone who stays at our house, be ready for buddies while you sleep!


Busy yet blessed!

Thanks!
