Planting Day!

There are some days that just turn out to be 'good days'. So far, today is one of those. A good night's sleep, an absolutely gorgeous day, kids playing outside, baby having a good nap and flowers to be planted. The kids were very excited about helping me plant - they each wanted to be in charge of one pot. I love looking at flowers but have never been a great gardener but we try anyway! So, off we went.

First step: gather all supplies Step two: Fill pots with dirt and begin making holes for the plants.

Step three: Add water.

Step 4: Place pots in their garden / deck spots.

This is Kendra's sunflower plant that she planted from a seed in her preschool. We're hoping we can keep it growing and see a sunflower at the end of the summer!

Go Canucks Go!

Giggles

Just for fun!

Bouncy fun!

Last week we pulled out the exersaucer for Jocelyn. She is getting old enough to hold up her head and is getting tired of laying on the floor. She loved it in there! I think it was a little overstimulating for her but that could have been the other 2 kids sitting around her making every toy move and make noise! We sure are loving our happy little girl!

Fun at the Fair

Today we took the kids to a little fair at the parking lot of the mall. They had seen it set up a few days ago as we drove by so they were VERY excited when we said where we were going. We walked through the fair and told them that they could each pick 2 rides to go on. They wanted to see them all so they could choose their favourite ones. As you can see, they very much enjoyed their choices!!

Wee College

Last week Kendra had her graduation from Wee College. This is a once a week program that teaches kids Bible verses, stories, books of the Bible, all through songs, puppets, stories, etc. She loved going every week and learned so much! Here she is with her Bible, waiting for the program to start. She was very easy to hear as she sung her songs and recited her verses!

Accepting her certificate and her pin on stage.

My camera battery died half way through the program so we had to take the picture with her pin and certificate at home on the deck.

Remember . . .

. . . what an amazing sacrifice was made for each one of us!
