4th of July Cookout @ Schnegelbergers!

We celebrated our countries independence with friends. The Schnegelbergers invited us over for a cookout.
It was a great afternoon spent with church family.
The kids enjoyed playing in the pool.
We played lots of backyard games!


Some were more competitious than others!
We had beautiful weather too!
We are so thankful for Tim. After a very serious motorcycle accident, and several surgeries later, he is healing quite well.
Dylan went around and played just about everything!
We even got to enjoy fireworks that evening!
Thanks for a great day!

Saying Goodbye to Micah & Debbie

Micah and Debbie headed back to thier mission field in Ghana last week.
We sent them off with prayers and love and Chick-fil-A!
We love you both and will be praying God blesses your ministry greatly - for His Glory!

PLAYING WITH THE GIRLS!

Once a month the girls and I get together. My favorite month is June. This year we decided to get together at my families beach house, on Love Point, for the afternoon.
First we enjoyed an hour or two talking and floating on the waves with our rafts.
Then we decided to play around and do a photo shoot on the beach.
Tamara...
Debi...
Carrie Anne...
And Me!
We decided to take the camera's down the beach a bit. Die hard ladies that we are, braved the snakes, jellyfish, and goo between our toes just for these shots...
Best Friends Forever!
Feeling the love!
Carrie is pointing at a jellyfish. But when Shawn saw this picture, he pointed out the alligator on the right! lol!
The bay with the setting sun. Giddy getting a little to close to the fire for comfort!
Ashley and Josh did a sweet job of giving us the girl time we needed. I think they had a nice time together too.
After a Mexican picnic on the front patio, we relaxed and enjoyed the sunset and fire.
Debi and Josh spent the night with me and Ashley. We went to bed LATE, it was just too much fun catching up, and talking, and just didn't want to see such a perfect day come to an end!
The next morning I decided to sneak a few pictures of the sunrise.
There is something majestic about the sunrise and sunset colors over the bay. It's almost as if the Lord is whispering to me, "Peace, be still."
Reflections off the water and jetty in front of the house.
The ducks and fish all seemed to waken as the sun peaked the horizon.
My favorite part was when I saw this Blue Herring enjoying the morning sunrise with me!
I couldn't help but to think of Psalm 19!

Fireworks at AACC

Saturday night we got together with our friends the Schnegelbergers, Moores, Lees and Smiths to see fireworks at the community college.

Josh, Brady and Ashley played Dutch Blitz and DS games together.
The Annapolis Symphony Orchestra played before the fireworks.
Shawn and Scott being their usual silly selves!
Debi and I
Mike and some strange child I have never seen before.
The fireworks were beautiful!
Oooo.... Ahhhh.....
It was great having all the Smunt's together, and playing with the Schnegelmoores!

Family Time Down The Shore!

We headed to the shore last weekend, and enjoyed beautiful weather!
Mom and Dad were there, too. This is Zena, the "warrior princess," who is in disguise as a neurotic, wimpy, dog. But we love her just the same. (Shhhh... don't tell anyone!)
The love of my life, trying to get some good shots of an approaching storm.
Dylan, went back to bed after breakfast! Poor guy!
Dad and Shawn played horseshoes, while Mom and I hit the water rafts!
Dylan has perfected skipping rocks.
Ashley took this picture of my Dad while the storm clouds blew past. SCARY!
It was a great day with each other! Love you guys so very much!

Adorable Church Ad!

Ephesians 3:14-19

"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen."
