Kids Club

I was going through pictures and found these and thought I would share them with you to show how God is leading in our kids club.  Our church kids club has grown over the last 2 years.  Before it was our family and Paul's friend Josh and we were the only kids in our church.  Then after being blessed with a large group of  VBS kids we sent out invitations to them all to join us in our kids club.  Now we have right at 23 kids! 

 Being  Jody and I only had 1 more year of Pathfinders left we got promoted to the Eager Beaver leaders.  Eager Beavers is the group of 3 to 5 year olds.  We normally have around 4 little boys and Girls. 

Gerry is our Pastor's wife.  Gerry is such a big help to Jody and I. 
Even though Jody and I miss being Pathfinders we love working with the little kids.  It is so rewarding to be there when they get so into what their doing.  You feel so proud right long with them when they do something they've never done or they learn something new.  Last week we did the Jigsaw Puzzle Eager Beaver Chip
 We love our Eager Beaver group very much.  Each kid is special in their own way.
 There are 3 buses that drop kids off after school so they can come to our kids club.
 Mom teaches the Pathfinders which is kids from ages 10 to 16.  This last week Mom taught them to make a whistle out of PVC pipe.
Doreen a lady from our church teaches the Adventures kids ages 6 to 9.
                                                                       Prudi is Doreen's helper
 Mom is one of the best teachers ever!  She has always done such a great job even on short notice.
We Pray that we can help each kid in their walk toward the kingdom.

Behold, Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of ones youth.  Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! Psalm 127:3-5

This last week Tuesday Dad, Paul, and I (Mindy) made a quick trip to Montana to pick up some breed cows.  We got to Belgrade at about 5:30 p.m. and then spent the evening with the VanDyks.  On Wednesday morning we had the cows loaded by 9:45 a.m. and we were on our way home again.  Paul One of the hired hands from the ranch fallowed us back home with the other load of cows.


 We were blessed with safe travels and good roads.  Everything went nice and smooth.

 Paul felt a little crazy after traveling about 1350 miles in less then 45 hours.  We enjoyed the trip but we were glad to be home again.
 This is the Hotel we stayed at Tuesday night when we got there.
 I haven't been to Montana sence I was little.  I enjoyed just sitting and looking out the window.  The country was so diffrent from around here, There aren't any mountains and or trees around here and so it was a nice little trip to see all the prettyness of Montana.

Smowmobile fun

Guess what we got to do today????????  You guessed it, we got to snowmobile for the first time this year.  There isn't too much snow so we never pulled the big tube but we did pull some small sleds.  We had a blast! 
We snowmobiled for 2 1/2 hrs. 










 And yes we had a few wipe outs!!!!!!



This morning I woke up to the beautiful sight of hoar frost all over.  I love to wake up this a hoar frost morning.  For some reason it just makes me think how blessed I am to have all that I do.  When you walk through the trees and there is white all around you it is something you need to experience if you haven't before.  It takes your breath away, I stand in Awe.







Job 37:10  By the breath of God frost is given: and the breath of the waters is straitened. Job 37:10
