Monday: we packed up and hit the road to Philadelphia

Wednesday: 2 more workshops, drove to Bensalem, PA and had a concert at the amphitheater.
Thursday: drove to Tennessee, JJ beat me in Risk :)
Friday: performed a show in Nashville
Saturday: drove to Maryland, saw a Zelos concert, RV broke down!!!
Sunday: went to Covenant Life Church, drove back to Pennsylvania (can't believe we made it!)
Today: got the poor RV fixed, played for 6,000 kids!!!!!!!! (YES 6,000!!), and right now we're driving up to New York:)


I loved having the opportunity to work with these kids! It was so neat to watch their faces when they learned a drum beat, danced a jig, or sang a new song. Fam, awesome job teaching, reaching out, making them laugh, being their friends and glorifying God with your servant's hearts!















This group of kids was so sweet and made us thank you cards!! :) Thanks guys!!

Back stage studs:)
























We had an awesome time playing for this crazy crowd!

I asked the kids to say hey to all our friends and family in Va...just in case you can't make out what they're saying, they shout out "YO VIRGINIA!!!!" :)

So, there's a basic recap of our week...minus random laughing, spilled milk...(ok, funny story... so Jon opens the fridge to get an afternoon snack [while we're on the highway], and the milk carton unexpectedly falls out, hits the floor and half a gallon of milk pours everywhere...so...Dad hits the breaks which makes Jes fall in it, us kids start dying laughing as we jump for our lives onto the couches to avoid the milky pool that was coming for us...haha if only we had it on video!!:) we were laughing so hard that it took us forever to clean up the mess! haha)...anyways:), going to a dump laundry mat:), playing a hilarious game of pictionary, meeting Josh Harris, running out of cash, seeing Drew from Switchfoot at church!!, and everything in between!
Well, we thank the Lord... The RV is up and running and we are heading to the big apple for another week of shows and workshops. Hope everyone is doing well and we miss you all!

" Yours, O Lord, is the

greatness and the power

and the glory

and the victory

and the majesty,

for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name." 1 Chronicles 29:11

The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!" Psalm 95: 3-6

"O Lord, how manifold are your works!

In wisdom you have made them all;

the earth is filled with your creatures." Psalm 104: 24

let the sea roar and all that fills it, let the field exult, and everything in it!...

Summer Music Camp:)

Early Monday morning, cars filled with excited kids piled into our back parking lot. Our 3rd annual Summer Music Camp just took place this last week. It was a great time learning music, playing games, and making new friendships with all the kids.

Throughout the week, the kids could get points for their team by practicing and winning the relays and games that we played. Every team worked so hard and I was so proud of all of them!
