Holy moly, I admire your ability to have a kid a year for 4 years in a row!!
That being said, it's very normal to not like going to church. As a kid, it's pretty tedious and boring, and more often than not you are patronized and preached at (and no, I don't mean the pastor's sermon) by others, and generally given a large list of behaviors that are inappropriate and must not be done. It's just human nature at that age to find it frustrating.
Also the 13 year old is getting to the age where they will start reaching out and attempting to form their own idea of what spirituality and religion means to them. I think the best you can do is talk to them about your faith and say "that's one way of looking at it, and it works for me" but don't insist they see things the same way.
Thank you, and THANK YOU for your comment. You have given me the answers and the direction I need to go with this. It means a lot to me, thank's for you're help :D
