July 21-25, 2008
So this past week, I had the greatest opportunity to serve in our church's Vacation Bible Adventure. I was a crew leader assinged to five kids out of 38 in my whole group. Matthew and Hannah were in my group which was nice to get to enjoy this week with my kids. Some of you may know that when in Blythe, I was the VBS director for our church, 1st Southern Baptist for four years, I had never actually worked one on one with the kids and I have to say I LOVED IT!! The kids were amazing. All in all this week there were about 400 kids in attendance. Totally amazing.
The theme was kind of like Indiana Jones where "Indy", "Anna", and "Jones" were trying to find the Lost City of Gold hoping to get eternal life. Of course there were many obstacles with "Wiener Schnitzel", "Jack-in-the-Box", "Hans" and "Gretal" blowing things up and keeping them from their goal to find the city. Turns out that Indy found eternal life in Jesus and realized finding the treasure wasn't as important as having Jesus in his life.
The best part of the week for me was Thursday night when my son Matthew went forward and prayed to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Very exciting night!!! Now I know my son has a place in heaven for eternity.
However, I must say I am thankful for the week to be complete and life to get somewhat back to normal. I am super tired and my body feels like I put it through a pasta dough roller...back to my accounting classes and looking for work.

The Knutson 5
Hello everyone! Hmmm...blogging huh? This should be interesting. Well I thought this would be a great way to keep our family and friends updated on what's going on in our lives. Right now...not a lot and then again quite a bit.
We are still living with Jeff's parents waiting for our house in Blythe to sell...we know it will happen in God's perfect timing, but now would be okay with us. Being patient is not one of my strongest points as many of you already know.
The kids are doing amazingly well. Hannah is counting the days until August 10th when she will finally be 9 and only one year from her double digits! Matthew is upset because he wants his birthday first and not after the girls but we have assured him, not sharing his birthday month could mean better presents for him....cannot believe he is starting 2nd grade this year. My little Power Ranger is growing up so fast. Baby Regan isn't so much a baby anymore. In exactly 30 days she will be five and starting kindergarten just a few days after her birthday. Where has the time gone.
Of course Jeff is loving his job. He says Coalinga is a good office, however, I know he still misses his Blythe buddies a lot. Me too. I am in between jobs but actually enjoying the summer with the kids. We've been having adventures :)
Well that's all for now. I'll have to see how well I do this.
