Clayton also finished his first book in Sparks. Sparks is starting a new curriculum for Sparks, so this was all new to the leaders. I like these better because there is a lot of character biographies and more application of Scripture-which i think is very important at this age! Clayton loves Sparks, and he really looks up to the older kids-he is always saying how he can't wait to go in T&T! This year gave him a few challenges with some of the verses because there were more verses put together and no shortening of them. (which again i am all for!) He did great though, participated well, and learned alot! Way to go Clayton! Clayton earned his First Book Ribbon!
I wanted to have a place where friends and family can keep up with what is happening with our family. This blog will give you just a peek into our lives.

AWANA Awards Night
I am so proud of my kids for doing their best this year in AWANA and completing their 1st books in Cubbies and Sparks. We placed Candice in Cubbies this year, she was technically a little too young, but has an easy time with adjustments and a mature understanding of sitting still, participating and learning the Bible stories and verses. So we thought it best to go ahead with it. There were some other kids her age who went in the same time, but the program seemed a little difficult for them. Our church then decided to add the Puggles program. This is for the 2 year olds and gives them the stories and Bible in a much simpler form with alot more parental interactions. Great Program, though we-along with her teachers- did not feel that Candice needed to be moved backwards-so she stayed in Cubbies. She pushed through and learned all her verses. I think her favorite is "He is not here, for He is risen." And of course she loves to tell the story that goes with that verse of Jesus being raised from the dead. She recieved her Cubbie pin and a certificate! Way to go Candice! Now if we can just work on more application of all that stuff!

I wish we had AWANA at our church, I miss it. We have King's Kids. It's a similar program, but the kids don't wear vest or receive pins on a weely basis.
Keep up the good work!
