Busy Times

Around here June was a busy month!

We started the older 2 boys in piano lessons.

These pictures are not the greatest, but let me just tell you the boys are both loving it and really learning a lot in a short time.  They're doing great!  I'm so excited by how excited they are!

They haven't even complained about walking down to the church to practice everyday!  

One thing that has been complained about a little is some "school work" as it is (not so affectionately) referred to.  

All 4 kids are doing summer workbooks this year where they do 2 pages a day (M-F).  It's not an overload, but just some things to keep their minds fresh!  Most days the boys complain a little, but get it done fairly quickly and Maddie absolutely loves to learn!  She is soaking it in.  In fact she is working through 3 workbooks right now.  She's doing Math, learning to read and reviewing a lot of letters and numbers!  She can't get enough and she's only 4!  Too bad she has another year of helping Momma before she can go to Kindergarten!  (Actually I am so glad, I'm not ready for her to go off to school yet)! 

Last week we had our VBS!  We join together Farmer, Ney and a community church, Sonrise, to have a joint Bible School.  This year we had over 70 in attendance, which way surpassed the last couple of years!  It was great.  My class was the 5 and 6 year old not yet into Kindergarten (fun age).  It meant I didn't have any of my own, but I think it worked out great!  This class did keep me busy though.  There were 10 of them and I got just a couple of pictures the first day of their recreation time!

Our theme this year was "Jesus is My Super Hero".  We talked about Jesus' Miracles and how He is our Ultimate Super Hero!  It was a great week!

Along with Bible School we had Tournament for Baseball last week!

We actually lost our first game, but came back and won our second to move us into the Championship Game for the 3rd straight year for the Adkins!

During the tournaments the whole team goes out for the coin toss!

 

Our bat boys continued to work hard through tournaments!

The picture below shows Ronnie on deck, Nathaniel in the hole and that cute bat boy waiting to grab a bat!

Daddy coaching third and Nathaniel on base (he went on to score).

We lost this one, but we're not out yet!  Stay tuned for Championship results.

Then of course, June Saturday's means T-ball!  Eli enjoyed these games, but honestly didn't think his teammates paid enough attention.  There were a couple of time when he wanted to turn a double play and no one was paying attention :)

So June as been BUSY to say the least, but we are having fun!  I am so far behind in posting, I hope to get caught up on all that is going on soon!

I hope your summer is going well too!
