Fun with Friends

Labor Day weekend is a big weekend for some family friends of ours.  This year I joined them for a fun day on Saturday.  We played (well, I watched) softball, roasted hot dogs, sang around the fire, and just enjoyed sweet fellowship!  I loved it!  It was so fun...my favorite part was singing, laughing, and talking around the campfire.  I am posting pictures of some of the fun.  Also, I'm posting one of me with each of the sweet Nienow kids...in age order :)  My family always asks me when I talk about them which one is which or which order they are in...so I thought this would help.

Keilley and Me
Sweet Keilley is such a dear heart friend.  I love talking and praying with her!  I miss her so much, but am so thankful  that God is using her to impact lives in Mexico!  Thankful for sweet fellowship while she's been home! I love her dearly!

Kara and Me
Kara Sue ~ We became much closer friends as Keilley was away.  I have loved our Bible studies, sleep overs , long walks, and time in prayer.  I love this girl so much!

 Christa and Me
Christa ~ This girl has blessed my life more than she'll ever know!  I love her and am so thankful God has given me the privilege of getting to know her on a deeper level these last few months!  So excited to see God use her in great ways as she yields herself to Him!


Erika and Me

Ah, Erika!  Erika is the smiley "behind the scenes" one of the family!  She is constantly helping the younger kids with so much.  Recently she did makeup and costumes for Christa's summer speech camp kids...they looked AMAZING!

Savanna and Me
Savanna has such a sweet spirit.  She helped me with the 3-6yr. olds this summer in VBS...the kids were quite the challenge and she was such a great help.  Although quiet, her smiles and hugs make lots of people feel loved!

Sophie and Me (sorry for the dust flecks)

Sophie, sweet talkative Sophie!  Sophie is totally 10 :)!  I enjoyed many rides with her to and from parades and softball games this year.  She always has something to talk about and has a great personality!  She loves giving hugs and making people laugh!  

Faithe and Me
Faithe "babes" is totally 6!  I love this age.  1st grade is one of my favorites!  She is fun-loving and is always making up plays and playing with her bunnies!  Usually I have to peel her off of me when I leave their house because she wants me to stay!  I love her bright smile!

And last, but not least...Max and Me
Max...the only boy...and the youngest!  Max is totally boy!  He loves dirt, cars, bears, hunting, etc...  He is hilarious!  I love playing kickball with this little guy!  He loves people and is usually seen side by side with Faithe...they are best buddies!
I love these kids so much!  SO thankful that God has allowed me to be blessed in knowing and loving all of them!

Below are pictures from the softball game and camp fire (even though the campfire ones are blurry)

Jake...pretty sure he totally overthrew the ball at this point.



Like I said...I love this smile!!!





Here Kara is showing Keilley how to throw the ball!!

Keilley has such a sweet spirit.  Kara was person number 4 to show her "how" to throw the ball ...so now she had 4 ways :)  However, she just smiled and used the new technique!

Keilley is known as the smore expert.  She even lays here graham crackers and chocolate on the edge of the fire to toast them.

Such a fun, sweet time!
