First of all, I apologize for being so late on this update. So what have the Thigpens been up to? Well...Ministry, Life, and Kids!

Ministry...
Since Christmas, Bryan has been busy with interviewing potential counselors and organizing field trips for this summer. He actually said that this summer should be the best field trips we have had in three years. They are even going to take the kids to the Royal Gorge! He has also been working on the theme for this summer which will be Amazing Race. This time of year always gets exciting as summer approaches and life gets very busy. Next month we have two different groups coming to camp for retreats and an extended version (short weekend version of camp) in Oklahoma. So there will be lots of traveling for Bryan and weekends away from home.
Life...
Well as many of you knew we sold our house and were living on the Conference Center over Christmas. Since then we found a great house to rent! It is smaller then we are use to, but less to clean! It is in a great area of town and is a shorter drive for Bryan. God blessed us with this home and we are very grateful! The kids love it and are very excited because there is a garden in the backyard. They can't wait until we can plant and start our garden. Erin hopes at least one thing will make it. It is a first for us!

The kids are getting bigger by the minute. Logan is 4 1/2 now and thinks he can do just about anything. He loves going to Awanas and playing Transformers. He also loves swim lessons and is on level three, he is turning into a fish! We are homeschooling preschool and getting ready to start phonics! Landon is 2 and full of it! He loves to dance, play cars, and tell his little brother what to do. Levi turned 1 on the 20th. He is standing and trying his hardest to keep up with his big brothers!
Disney World...
If you were to ask the kids what they have been up to they will tell you that they got to go to Disney World. We packed up the three kids in the car and drove to Disney World. It was great and worth the drive!!!!! We have been saving and looking forward to this for 18 months and it was great and much needed family time. We took it easy and only went to the park for a portion of each day, then just hung out at the house we rented and went swimming. Logan's favorite ride was Thunder Mountain and the Dinsosaur Ride at Animial Kingdom. Logan loved every minute and asked if we could live there! Landon loved all the rides. He would start jumping up and down when he saw a ride and would say, "YES!" Levi just loved looking at everything. He also loved the kiddie playground that was made just for his size. The great thing about Disney World is there is something for every age!
