Vacation Bible School

Here are some pictures from our week at VBS! This year I was the director and am proud to say we had over 120 kids, the most we have had there in Ankara. We had fun at the Crocodile Dock and just to let ya know, Jack and Daddy spent the week together doing so many guy things, playing baseball, moving furniture and bonding! Jessie



















We loved our Pharaoh and learning about the plagues and our set was so much fun, swampy!!!































Ella is in the orange (to the rt) and Maddie above in red!

Izmir Carnival Fun











In May we headed to Izmir and one day came upon this carnival, what luck! The kids had a blast...after one of the rides, Bryan saw a worker pick up an extra screw that was laying around...but all seemed okay as far as carnivals go!

Happy 8th Birthday Maddie
















Maddie had a wonderful 8th birthday...Bryan and I still can't believe she is 8...she had an American Girl Sleepover and everyone had to bring their dolls. They had pizza, watched an AG video and headed upstairs to sleep in a tent outside. We had a blast and are so blessed at the wonderful friends Maddie has here in Turkey. Happy Birthday Madeline Paige!
