Steven and Rebekah's Pounding/Shower

Saturday, Hannah hosted(and all of us helped) a shower for Bekah and Steven!!!

It was a very relaxed, fun evening with Volleyball, Soccer, Kickball, a water balloon toss, fellowship, and just general fun!!! :D



The Schattes came early and helped get set up




Hannah had put me in charge of getting flowers for the tables....the Black-eyed-Susans were from one of our pastures, and theQueen Ann's Lace was from a neighbor's field :)




Faith taping the table cloths down



last min phone calls 



Faith and I put balloons and crepe paper up at the gate :)


Faith decided to write a message on the back of the van...and it stayed there through church on Sunday!

Andrew S. ran some balloons up to the corner

Awwwww!!!!!!!!! 



Some of my bestest friends in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!
Hannah, Me, Samuel, Rachel, Faith and Liz



Mr. Davis heard 'water games' and brought these..... 




this picture is blurry, but this was almost my favorite parts of the whole day. We were sitting in a circle talking in the front yard, and someone said, 'Lets play Duck, Duck, Goose just for old times sake!!!' So we did. And had a glorious time.....and nearly died laughing!!!!!!!!!!! :D



My absolute favorite part of the evening was praying with Samuel on the porch......I am blessed beyond measure, and my cup overflows!!!!!

Filling up water balloons sounds familiar! We did 750 last Saturday for our church picnic. :)
