Paracord Bracelets

One of the crafts I did for VBS was making bracelets like these. They are made with parachute cord and are called "Survival Bracelets" because you can untie them if you are ever in an emergency and need rope. Caleb became obsessed with making them, so I took him to Hobby Lobby to get some supplies. He plans to sell them.

3 Year Pictures

I took Ethan to get his 3 year pictures taken a couple of weeks ago and received the proofs today. This is one of my favorites.. He found this little mushroom and kept tapping it with his finger, then once he stood up, he smashed it with his foot, it was pretty funny. :)

VBS- Andrew & Matthew

I am the 5th and 6th grade Craft Director so I had Andrew and Matthew this year :) Today they made the baskets that Matthew is holding. It is a reminder from their bible study that Paul was lower in a basket to escape the city.

VBS- Ethan

We have VBS this week at church and today Ethan's teacher sent me this picture of Ethan in class. He has had so much fun!! He usually clings to my legs when I drop him off at church, but today, he walked in and didn't care that I left him.:)

Sever's Disease

Andrew has been complaining that his heels have been hurting for the last couple of months. I kept telling him it was growing pains because he has grown so much lately. I took him to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and she referred us to a podiatrist. Andrew had his first appointment last week, we learned that he has "Sever's Disease." Sever's Disease is inflammation of the growth plate in the heel. (See, it was growing pains, lol) They gave him so temporary arch supports to see if it would help and today he is having cast done to make mold for Orthodics. Sever's Disease is something that will go away on its own, but only after his feet stop growing. They will grow for the next 6-8 years and we don't want him to be in pain that long!! Orthodics will correct the problem now. :)

LIFE Group Goodbye Social

We had a social tonight at the church farm to say goodbye to 4 families that are moving this summer. :( 3 of the 4 kids in this picture are moving. By the way, they are on a teeter totter toy that is meant for 1 kid.

Back Pain!

Jeremy thinks he pulled a muscle in his back working out today, he's found that the most  comfortable place to be is on the floor.
