Here are a couple of pages I made with Summer Treats by Cathy K, I have to say it is one of my favorite kits! Charli and I went to our VBS kickoff, she had a wonderful time! She especially loved Snow cones! I got a kick out of her crawling in the ice! I will be posting more pages from this, just running behind!

A Day with Charli







A lot of pictures I took of Les and Charli spending some time together after I picked her up yesterday! We went to the library, she loved the books and the puppet show. Then we went to see the topiary display they have put up getting ready for the Festival next week, I had the best time. Poor Les is really having trouble with his back again but some how he held her and L got the pictures. It was so hot my hair was wet so I did not get in any pictures this time. I learned something, Charli can make monkey sounds, I asked how she liked the monkey and she started doing the funniest noises, I did get pictures of that, too, LOL!

Lightning Bugs and ...

My first photo photo was of Charli and her first lightning bug, I am so glad I was standing there when they caught it, I so loved catching them when I was a kid! We had a Holly tree and they always seemed to be there. She was not afraid to hold it but the poor bug couldn't have made it after all the squeezes, LOL!


And for my news... I went to have dinner with the kids and Charli had on this shirt, I always notice what she had on but Les didn't. She tried to save me the Pregnancy test to take a picture of but the battery didn't last. I hope this one will be a boy.
The first time she gave me a pregnant Willowtree figure she is very creative and I love it! I wanted her to be able to tell my Mom first. I think I am going to wait and let her tell Jeremy, I would rather her let him know when he gets home in a few weeks than to just put it on Face Book or in an email. I never heard anything from my DIL to know if she got Alexis' birthday gift I sent. I really am not surprised though.

Got some good news but I am waiting to Blog when the people that need to know first are told, LOL, I hope I can post pictures tomorrow or so!
These pages are done with Connie's new kit. It is a new Collab from Connie Prince and Kandy Kane Creations
[URL=http://www.elementalscraps.com/shoppe/product.php?productid=22181&cat=335&page=2]FOR HIM[/URL] I don't have many pictures of Seth and these were taken last year for Mother's Day so he don't even look like this but I work with what I have!
The top one is for a challenge and I kind'a like it.
Things went smooth at work with the new kids, one was on vacation.
Oh, I enjoyed our Women on Missions Meeting! It is going to be a 'hands on' group where we may clean an elderly member's house or cut the grass or spend some time at the soup kitchen!
I am in charge of membership and fund raising. I already have a great idea. We are going to plan a trip for next summer so we need to have money put aside. The rest of this week is busy, getting Charli when I get off and keeping here until Trey gets off after 6:30. Next week I won't keep her but have Bible School and Festival of Flowers. Doing the Garden Tours and Park Seed. I will post pictures of the topiaries soon!

Well today is the first day with my new class, I did play with them awhile Friday and got some pictures but Yochih was not there. The parents of the kids that went up were not happy, I had them a short time, I know one or two were going to say something but that's the way it goes sometimes. I am about to leave for work early so I can do some things.
Tonight we are having our first Women on Missions meeting at church, it is something new and we will meet once a month and concentrate even more on doing missions in our community. Should be lots of fun, we always have a great time any way. Then we will eat with Gina so I can get the car seat put in my van.
Well off to work, have a great day!

After church Les and I went to eat at one of our favorite restaurants, Chinatown, we love all the Chinese ones here in town and he had to work today so that's what he wanted to do.
My little squirrel friend came to visit this morning and he has sores where he has been in a fight, poor thing, I have seen a robin take after him but he has places on both sides.
One more week until VBS, I have to get the crafts ready to go and I will be keeping Charli, going to Debbie's house, Trey's Mom, and getting her. They will be on vacation next week so I will not see her for a while so I am going to be sure I spend time with her. I did get my office cleaned up for her to come over, I might stop by Grandmama's too. The thing is I have a terrible time pushing the buttons to get her out of the seat!
Here is this week's Scripture Challenge at SBE

Continuing with our theme for the month of June, based on the concept of PURPOSE, the scripture verse for Week 19 comes from Exodus 9:16 in which God tells Pharaoh:
“But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
