FUMC Grapevine VBS and a weekend with Cannon

The last week of July my big kids went to VBS at my parents church. 

It is their favorite VBS to do every year.

 This year Amy sent Rilee and Taylor too (which was a dream) and my mom and Aunt Jan were supposed to volunteer and greet each day. It ended up being a rough week for our Joyner family because Momma Gay was admitted to the hospital and we spent much of the entire week in the hospital. 

For my kids to have VBS to look forward to each day was such a blessing.

 It also gave Amy and I some uninterrupted time and an amazing opportunity to be together and to visit our mom's and Momma Gay in the hospital without so much of the crazy. 

Dylan was sad to miss out on VBS this year but he loved going in to drop off each day and play with some of the props. 

 

We did a lemonade stand one day at the Bartels to raise money for the offering. It was awesome and the kids raised $62

!  

 Friday of that week, Mendy and Alex went out of town for a weekend away with friends so we got to keep Cannon for the weekend! We went to the closing chapel for VBS with Amy, who was also keeping Easton, and these kids just had the best time! 

 

Both nights of the weekend, Kinley and I went to stay over at Mendy and Alex's with Brinkley and Cannon so he could sleep in his own bed. He was so easy and sweet and fun. Kinley and I stayed up late eating ice cream and watching Disney shows and it was just so much fun. In the morning, Cannon and I woke up and had milk and coffee and some tv/quiet time and let Kinley sleep. 

 

More pics of fun with Cannon over the weekend....we hung out with Bart and Olivia one night and went to dinner and played at our house, bath time, fun at home, and ended with church on Sunday. 

Loved claiming Cannon as my 4th kid for a weekend. 

SO. MUCH. FUN.
