July Catch Up
Journral Entry for July
Sereral things have been going on in the Kouts' household since my last entry. Our van is still not fixed. Butch, the machanic came over and replaced the part and a new battery and it still wouldn't start. He is subpose to come back over this week. We are praying that we can get this taken care of.
July 4 th a group of us went over to friends of ours, Jim & Jenn, and spent the day. The kids went swimming and hung out, the women sat around talking, and the men watched "The North & The South" (or the Grey and the Blue or whatever the name of that loooooong movie is called). It was a good time by all.
July 10 - 14 was VBS at our church, Gracepointe Nazarene. the girls went every night and had fun. Bethany hung around with 2 friends that week. Starting on Sunday night Megan & Allison stayed at our house, on Monday they went to Megan's, on Tuesday they went to Allison's, by the end of the week they needed a break from each other. Overall they had a good week. For the next week Jody kept asking me if tonight was VBS again, she was disappointed that she had to wait until next year.
On July 15 we celebrated John's birthday by going out to The Olive Garden. This is John's favorite resturant and since I don't like it we only go there once a year for his birthday. Our wait was an hour for a table and surprisingly the girls behaved pretty well considering the long wait. Once we got our table Bethany told the waiter it was John's B-Day and they sang to him and brought him a cake. Bethany & John loved the attention. Jody was hiding behind John's arm and I sat there with an embrassed smile. Aterwards we did one of our favorite things and walked around Wal-Mart. We had a good time.
We celerbrated my birthday, which is July 26, by going to one of my favorite pizza places, Stevi Bs. On the way there we got caught in a bad rain storm so we waited in the car until it passed by. Aterwards we walked around Wal-Mart as usual.
That about catches up on the everyday things that is happening in our lives. Tomorrow I am going to try to post on more deeper things about what God has ben teaching me and what He is doing in my life.
Until Later,
Betty

HI,
Butch is a good mechanic. He is helping us get the malibu fixed to pass inspection so Beth can take it back to school. He is also going to help us get Lea's car up and running, he checked it out before we bought it.
The 4th was fun. It is always fun when we get together to do things as a group. Our kids have so much fun together.
Love you guys and I am sorry!!
So sorry that the part didn't fix your van. Been there, done that - I had a car that died/wouldn't start off and on for about two years before we finally figured out the problem. We had replaced the computer and everything, but it was the fuel module (or something like that.)
My daughter went to her first VBS this summer, at the Nazarene chuch in our town (we don't have enough kids at ours yet to do VBS, and we have some friends who go to that church.) It was all about super heroes, which she loved. She was also disappointed that it was over until next year!
