A Very Long/ Fun//Exciting/Trying/Sad Week

Isn't it amazing how wonderful - great friends bring sunshine to our life!



This past week was a very fun week along with a few trials and a little sadness. The week started out with Dave and I helping the Lund family (who payed for the church's VBS) Jeri Montella. along with other members in getting the VBS ready. I helped paint the set, and Dave helped set it up.
As you can see the kids had sailor hats and the chapel was turned into a ship.


The captain of the ship led the kids in some super fun songs and helped the kids look for God in
their lives.

The kids had so much fun with the songs. The church is so old however that when the kids would stomp their feet the entire building shook.

Melany and Avena were able to come experience the fun and they did have tons of fun.
Lindsey enjoyed being one of the leaders who led the children in fun activities from Bible stories.
Now in between all the fun here, our Explorer broke down. Fun! Fun! We can't afford to get it fixed so it's just sitting in town. We are having to drive in Dave's old 72 truck with no air conditioning. LOL Not fun in 105 degree weather.

This is the group Melany and Avena were in.
On the 4Th, the Church used the decorations from VBS and made a float for the parade. They sang one of the fun songs they had learned. It is also the churches 75Th Anniversary in Monticello. I designed and did the art work on the banner.

Dave and I helped decorate the float. It was super fun!




The Lund family has a beautiful place out side town including a Chapel to hold Mass when they stay here. So they brought Father Jarad from California to do Mass. Dave is sitting with him in this photo. He is a very awesome person and we really enjoyed him a lot. He asked me to do a painting of Mother Mary for his church in California. I'm really excited to get that done for him.



OOOOPS I didn't mean to get two photo's of him on here.... lol


This is Captain Jack. He works at Disney Land and he came along to help with VBS making it a super awesome fun time for the kids. He was hilarious.


Next.... Dave and I had our marriage blessed on Sunday. It was so very special and we
were so blessed by those who came to support us. Nichole was my Maid of Honor and Dave was my hubbies best man.




This is my God-Mother. I LOVE her. She was so excited as you can tell, she couldn't stop smiling. Her and I do the music together in church.

This gal is Jeri and we get very confused when ever anyone says Jeri. I may change my name. LOL She is the leader of the Children's group and VBS.

Nichole and Kelly were having a great time after the blessing.



This is Deccan Tom who did the blessing of our marriage. He has been a huge support in our lives and we have learned so much from him. Him and his wife are super cool.




Then... after our blessing we went to Grandpa and Grandma Cordovas house and visited for a while. We Love them so much.




Now comes the sad yet I guess exciting part of the week. Kelly left home today, a man with a whole future ahead of him. I'm happy for him, but sad that after 18 years of being with him so much, home schooled him, I'm sort of struggling. God be with Him.My three youngest kids are not so little anymore. We were happy to visit with Kylie for the past several days as well. We had a very fun time.
