Weekly Song - What a God/Awesome God

 

I haven't heard a lot of new songs lately so I just sent out and searched for new releases :-)  Enjoy! 

Our weekly snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week : 

Josh and Nate are both volunteering at Branch Adventures Day Camp this week.  Josh is playing drums in the worship band before heading out to work.  Nate is a counselor and living his best life right now. 

Ken was here all week but this is the only photo I took and it was on Sunday : 

He preached at our church ! 

Ken headed home on Thursday and treated me to a coffee and donut on his way out of town. 

Weekly Menu

 June was a blur.  An absolute blur!  We have been running nearly non-stop for the past 2-3 weeks and I'm looking ahead knowing we can breath a little sigh of relief as things slow down this next week.  For real.  Two weeks of Josh and Nate involved in Day Camps has meant a lot of running around, friends over, and get togethers.  I know this seems like a funny "marker" - but it was evident how little we were home by the fact that our trash can was nearly empty after a week HA!.  Today is the last day of day camp and then we can breath a little.  Nate will be off to work at camp and Josh will still have work to get to but it's much calmer!  Here's the plan for the coming week: 

Friday (6/26) - we have an Open House to attend tonight. 

Saturday (6/27) - the guys have a men’s gathering and I plan to use my quiet evening to scrapbook! I ordered a pizza in my grocery order to stick in the oven to keep dinner super simple. 

Sunday (6/28) - have a concert today — Darryl and I are going to grab something before I have to be at the church for the concert; my guys are riding home with my mom.  

Monday (6/29) - shrimp and grits and cornbread 

Tuesday (6/30) - Swedish Meatballs and Noodles 

Wednesday (7/1) - pasties - I picked up some frozen Pasties from a great shop near us to have in the freezer for an easy dinner.  So, tonight is the night! 

Thursday (7/2) - I'm not 100% sure.  This is the day Josh works the longest and I clean our church and then hang out and wait for him so we aren't running back and forth multiple times.  It may just end up being frozen pizza once we get home!

Our Weekly Snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week: 

We picked Nate up from Staff Training on Saturday morning.  He had a great time! 

Then we attended an Open house for ones of the teens from our church. 

On Sunday we visited my in-Laws.  Charlie was teaching Nate how to cut a watermelon. 

Darryl was teaching his mom how to grill great chicken. 

Grandpa and Grandma have a golf cart which Josh and Nate love to drive.  I even got to go on a ride.  

Josh snd Nate are at Worship Camp this week.  Josh is attending as a camper but is also volunteering as a drum instructor.  Nate is enjoying the week as a camper. 

We’ve had lots of rain, storms, and hail this week.  I was sitting in my vehicle on Tuesday and caught this rainbow as the hail fell all around. 

Look who showed up at the Hospital gift shop WITH a coffee from Sozos!  Ken and Kel arrived at my moms on Wednesday evening.  My mom knew Ken was coming but Kel was a surprise! 

Fun all week at Worship Camp. 

Fun with 2 of my brothers! 

The concert at Worship Camp

I tried to add a video of one of their songs but it’s not working at the moment. 🤷‍♀️

Weekly Menu

 As I mentioned last week, my brother Ken will be here around this time (not sure of the exact dates yet).  So, I will plan my menu with knowing that some days we will be at my mom's enjoying time with Ken.

Here's the plan

Friday (6/19) - The boys have a Worship concert tonight so they eat at camp.  Darryl and I will grab something. 

Saturday (6/20) - this is up in the air as everyone is going different directions; I’m not sure when or where we will all land by dinner! 

Sunday (6/21) - It's Father's Day!  And my brother will be here!  So maybe we can do steaks on the grill or something on the grill. 

Monday (6/22) - I know we will eat at home as I have choir practice.  Zuppa Soup and bread is the plan 

Tuesday (6/23) - Josh and Nate have Bible Study so I’m not sure on dinner - maybe the adults will eat together🤷‍♀️

Wednesday (6/24) - my freezer and cupboards are full so I’ll pick based in plans and who is home!  

Thursday (6/25) - Dinner at my mom’s with Ken before he heads out on Friday.

Our weekly snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week: 

Nate went to a bonfire on Saturday evening with friends. 

On Sunday everyone attended my choir concert. 

And Nate headed to a week of staff training. 

A few grainy screenshots that show Nate ha!  At least I know he’s alive! 🤣

Josh had friends over Friday to hang out and they cooked their own burgers for dinner. 

Then head to group shot of Staff — can you find Nate? And why does he look like he’s 25? 😭🤪

Weekly Menu

 This next week Josh and Nate will be gone during the day at Worship Camp.  They really enjoy this week of creating music with friends; it is a little hard to fathom that this is Josh's last year as a camper.  It is the first of the "last" things for him as he is now a Senior!  

Here's the plan: 

Friday (6/12) - Amish Chicken, mashed potatoes and roasted veggies 

Saturday (6/13) - We have to pick Nate up from a week of camp, attend an Open House for Lunch plus some running in the afternoon for Josh as he has a staff meeting for camp.  Dinner - I’m leaning towards tacos because it’s easy! 

Sunday (6/14) - We are heading to my in-laws for the day. 

Monday (6/15) - Chick-Fa-Lay Nuggets (homemade) and Fries

Tuesday (6/16) - I “think” it’s just Darryl and I as the boys have Bible Study after worship camp.  So we might grab something easy. 

Wednesday (6/17) - Slow Cooker Zuppa and Bread

Thursday - 6/18) - Pork loin and fried rice

A side note - my brother, Ken, is coming up for a visit some time around now - I just don't have exact dates so this menu may change!

 Here’s a look back at our week! 

The guys had a great time at the father/son retreat. 

Josh and Nate had a piano recital! 

All the students and their teachers! 

These two photos were actually Sunday - the band hung out! 

Nate hung out with friends and we all got to enjoy Morley’s birthday cake. 😊

On Friday we had an amazing field trip to a great zoo!  It down-poured a few times but we had clear weather too. 

It was a great week!
