Family Pics

These are family pics that we had taken through a fundraiser. The family ones were done at our church to help the teens go to camp and the ones of the boys were done for my nephews baseball team to help them go to Chicago for the Little League World Series! I think they all turned out awesome and its a great idea for a different kind of fundraiser....much better than selling candy or something!

Dave Preaching 6/21/09

This is Dave preaching at our church,
Hillcrest Baptist Church, on Father's Day.

These are the cakes and cupcakes I made for my nephew Alston's Tiki Pool Party. I have just started trying to make and decorate cakes but I think they turned out pretty cute. All that matters is he loved them and so did all his 10 and 11 year old friends!

Beef and Boards

Went to B&B Dinner Theatre last night to see Annie! Dave, my sister, and my niece went with me. It was awesome! The food was great and the menu was full of items that I actually liked which at B&B doesnt always happen. The little girl that played Annie was incredible. She was so cute and portrayed Annie very well. The lady that played Miss Hannigan looked just like Carol Burnett from the movie! The show as great!

First Blog Update - July 3rd, 2009

So.....trying something new! Whats up with the Gilberts?!?! Well this week has been a very busy week. We have been at VBS all week. Dave and I worked with the 3rd and 4th graders. We had the highest number of kids in our class each night. The theme this year was the Boomerang Express. So Dave has been talking like an Aussie all week and we learned a lot about Australia that we never knew. VBS was kinda stressful but all in all we had a lot of fun. Ryan has spent the last 5 weeks on T/TH at an art camp run by the parks dept. He really enjoyed it and was not happy that Thursday was his last day. But now he is a little more excited about starting Kindergarten since he will get to do some of the same things at school. Josh is starting to be a real talker. He will tell you a story and can definitely let you know when he wants something or doesnt want something! They are both growing way too fast. Dave also got to preach on Father's Day at our church. He was really nervous but he did an awesome job. No one can believe he was ever shy. Just shows you what the Lord can do in someone's life! Well I guess thats it for now......til next time bye bye!!
