Q's June calendar (LOVE how he put VBS with his buddy Palmer in the "notes" section):


Fletch helping to make care packages for Q this week:

***Doesn't everyone show their brotherly love with pictures of shock troopers? Ha!

NLC

This week is a BIG one for the boys . . . New Life Camp week!

This is Q's 4th summer at NLC & his 1st summer for overnight camp. He was SO excited! Me? Not so much! I miss him already, but I know that he will have such an awesome week. Prayers for safety and happiness . . . and for Friday night to come quickly!






With his school buddies, Davis & Tyler:


This is Holden's 2nd summer at NLC (day camp). I'm so glad he's going the same week as Quinn. I've told him to keep his eyes open and report any Q sightings to me. Ha!

VBS 2015

We took a "Thailand Trek" during this year's VBS, which included Thai games, foods and culture. It was such a fun-filled week with church friends!











The kids watched short video clips from a missionary in Thailand (Chris Barbee) each night. On the final night, the kids skyped with him! They asked him questions and sang a song for him. It was such a super cool experience . . . one that I'm sure they won't soon forget!



We wrapped up the week with a VBS celebration during our church service and had lunch afterwards. VBS is always one of our favorite summer activities, and this year is no exception! :)

The Golf Bug

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later . . . the golf bug has bitten another generation of Spesshardt boys!

The 3 generations during their golf outing (last Monday morning during Papa Tom's visit):















Fun, fun, fun! :)

Soccer Celebration

Last Saturday was the closing celebration for our spring soccer season. It was an afternoon full of waterslides, hot dogs, friends and awards. Fun, fun, fun!

A few members from Team Patience:


***Never fails . . . ask for a volunteer to speak in front of a group? Yep, Holden's going to go for it! Ha! Here he is saying that he learned "passing" this season.


Q & Team Firebirds:


And, finally, Fletcher . . . happy as always to tag along! ;)

Father's Day Weekend - Part 2

We had a super fun Father's Day.

We celebrated Brant in the morning before church.



Look who's acolyting? It was Holden's first time, and we're happy to report that the church is still standing! ;)





Afterwards, we took Papa Tom out for lunch at Dos Taquitos. Yummy!









What a special weekend! We love our Dads! :)

Father's Day Weekend - Part 1

Papa Tom is visiting from Michigan! :)

We started our Father's Day festivities with a cookout with Papa/Mama Quinn and Papa Tom on Saturday:







***Mama Quinn made a "giant cupcake", a pound cake topped with frosting and sprinkles. I have a feeling that was the boys' favorite part of the day!

Soccer Camp

Just have to brag on these 2 guys (picture taken at our "lunch date" last week) . . .

They spent the mornings last week at a soccer camp at their school. The coach was tough, and the drills and scrimmages were even tougher. These 2 guys hung in there, had fun and learned a lot. Yesterday during pick up, the coach said that they worked hard and did a great job . . . and that they were very well behaved! I'll call that a success! :)

Q staying up late with Brant to watch Lebron & the Cavs:

*Doesn't everyone watch basketball with a stuffed snake around their necks? Ha!
**Q's pretty bummed they didn't win the series. :(


Marbles water fun with Fletch while the big boys are at soccer camp this week:

Final Spring Soccer Games

We wrapped up the spring soccer season last Saturday.

Coach Brant, Holden & Team Patience had an undefeated season! This was a great team!




Even though Quinn & Team Firebirds were not undefeated, they still had a great season. Q learned a lot and had fun!

Art Party

Fletch helped celebrate Rachel's 5th birthday with an art party. Although he doesn't look like it in this first picture, he had a super fun time! Ha!







***His super cool beach painting is now hanging proudly in his bedroom! :)
