| Party Favors tied with long balloons! Turned out so Fun! |
Jesus totally healed the day for us. THANK YOU, JESUS! We'd planned to be OUTSIDE to save our Haus since we were getting out-of-town company within an hour after the party.... but the forecast was calling for S.T.O.R.M.S. And those don't match with kids and parties. I prayed hard and asked some others to help me pray too and re-thought the party order.... and as you can see Jesus came through for us. We played 1st and boy was it EVER HOT!!!! Volleyball sand pit area in the shade was a favorite for many
So was the water cooler that I'd brought along with about 5 gal of cool ICE water!!!
Fun building a Volcano!
Smiles!

| S.P.R.I.N.K.L.E.R.S!!!!! |
The park had put in all sizes and heights of sprinklers and boy was that ever a welcomed retreat after that HOT SUNNY DAY!!!!
Walking home all cooled off and soaking wet! But there wasn't any complainin about the heat now!=)
Looking Back I wonder if Jesus didn't give me the scare of the storm and rain so I would do the party food part at home and save us HOURS of work! Lol! "Walking Taco's anyone?"
Torture... since I didn't know they aren't allowed to "reach" for it... I wondered why they didn't just grab that chip and run.... now these pics are Happy-sad rather than just funny! ... but we were howling laughing cause no matter how high you'd pull up the chip they'd just tipsy-toe all the more. TOO CUTE... and great obedient boys! Way to go Dee!

So Jesus healed the day for we all got home changed into dry clothes and at the table when the clouds let loose and it RAINED. HAILED and STORMED BIG TIME!!!! God is so good, for I didn't have another day that I could plan a rain date. Daryl made this decoration below with his students during a cultural hour that one of the other teachers had prepared... and so we saved it thinking it was...

| SOOOOOOOO Darla! Our Fun, FULL of SUNSHINE GAL! |
This sign below says it all and how we thank Jesus for the day he gave you to us, Darla. We loved your sweet bubbly self from Day 1! Never a dry moment when you're around! Usually a giggle close by too! Our prayer is that you will ALWAYS serve Jesus and give of your Best to Him, Your Master. You'll never be sorry! In fact you'll look back over your life someday and the places He's taken you and the People you've met will amaze you! Keep IN touch With Jesus EVERYDAY in EVERY WAY and your life will be lived to the fullest! Thanks so much ladies for sticking around and helping me make sense out of the party and get all "signs" (those not to great signs like dirty floors and trash etc) of it put away before our special guest arrived!!!
Our Fun Day with Sally!!!!
 |
| Sally Sebo and our Four at the Creation Museum! |
So a funny story on us. (Make that ME) After Sally arrived we were talking about what hour we'd need to leave for the museum the next a.m. and due to the storms our computer was still unplugged so no one checked the time it opened. Daryl thought 10 and I thought 9!!!! Guess who was right??!!! Since WHEN have the Hausman's been 1 HOUR early for ANYTHING!!!! =) Yep... you guessed right. We got there and the workers weren't even there yet! Thankfully they gave us clearance to go to the Garden of Eden and boy was it ever beautiful and COOL and other wise we wouldn't have had time to see it. So all things work together for GOOD!!!!
Waiting for the speaking session to begin!
Fun addition Jesus gave us... was to get to meet the founder Ken Ham in person! We've been to this museum several times but this was the 1st time ever when he was actually there speaking!
Sally treated us to some D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. PIZZA... it may have been a
LOT tad pricey but if you go you have to try out Palm Pizzas! The crust (my favorite part by far) was AMAZING!!!!
Very Full and exciting weekend. Thanks Sally for everything! It is always so wonderful to catch up with everyone and everything from there in Romania! Hello to all of our friends over there! You are in our prayers often! we can't believe how much you all have grown! Keep serving Jesus is our prayer for you all too!

Dearest Birthday girl, Darla, I got to see your fun SWEET post earlier this morning, but our internet was too SLOW and I couldn't comment. Thanks for posting these fun pics so we could enjoy your birthday all the way here in Colombia. I loved your CUTE napkin rings, place cards, party favors tied with balloons =)and everything else. Looks like y'all had fun at the park, and back at your house too. We were thinking of you and PRAYING hard that Jesus would hold off the rain and help you to have a very memorable party. Looks like He did JUST THAT! =) Wish we could have been there to help you celebrate! Cute twins.
So GLAD that Sally got to come by for a fun visit too. Loved the pics of y'all at the Creation museum too! Looks like a fun day.
Sarah will sign soon too, Lord willing.
Love and miss y'all tons...

Happy Birthday again, wish we could be there to give you a birthday hug...a little late. =)

Dickinson's sent this: Thanks Phillip for taking time you didn't have to comment for Darla's heart's sake!
Dear Darla, Happy birthday! Wow, it's amazing that you're already so big! We are so glad that you are serving Jesus and are living in such a way to give your parents joy. What a beautiful birthday party you had. The colors and decor were festive and cheery. Every thing was so creative and beautifully simple. The napkin holders were as cute as a button and I liked the fun party favors tied with a bow-loon. :-/ So fun that so many of your friends could join you for some fun in the sun. (But thank the Lord for the shade and water.) I didn't know that Riverfront Park had water sprinklers to play in. Bryan, I know that it was nice to have some guys around too. Thankfully you all had several older ones around to help and then clean up afterward. Looking at this group of young people, I see some quality youths with lots of potential... God is good to give you such friends. Somebody did a sweet job with the cupcakes. And, yes, the decoration is very much Darla, fun and full on Birthday Girl!
Happy birthday Darla!!! Mommy told me that your birthday post was on and I am finally getting to comment! Cute napkin holder and party favors =}Glad that y'all had a good time at the park and sprinklers! Your menu sounds delicious and yummy dessert! Glad Miss Sally could come.
Love,
Sarah
WHAT A PARTY! You are blessed to have creative big sisters and Mommy as well. I have remembered today the years that God gave you to us. It was so fun getting to live close and what you grow. You were a different touch to the family and that made for more fun. Even the large congregation at Hobe noticed that your parents had made a different little girl this time. Going back to when Mommy found out you were to be a little girl and allowed three year old Brittany to tell me my first thought was that, now Mommy will have a girl's trio. That is so true, for God blessed you with the music that just oozes from your ears ~ OUT YOUR THROAT AND INTO YOUR FINGERS! I love to hear you play the piano and violin and sing with your sisters. By the way it has been almost 5 months since you have come to Gramp and Grams and sang for us. Hint Hint! Gramp and I are so glad for your nice party and a birthday dinner at Chic-fil-A. If your restaurant was like ours it was a day to remember as the cars were lined for blocks and the people lined clear around that outside of the building telling the world that they are for the CHRISTIAN FAMILY AND A BUSINESS THAT SAY SO! I Love you, Gram
