Mother's Day Out~ The Letter "C"

This week they talked about what sound the "C" makes and what things start
with "C."  The kids enjoyed pulling out "C" items from the paper bag and
also making a pretend silly fruit cake.  The bible story today was on
the Creation.

Mother's Day Out~ "A" is for Apple

Today the children about what starts with the letter "A"! They mostly talked about Apples! They enjoyed painting apples on the "tree"with real apple halves dipped in red paint! They also made apples out of paper plates and acted like their fingers were worms!

A Weekend At The Farm

So we finally were able to go visit Nana and Papa at the farm! Uncle Eric, Aunt Jen, and baby Meric were able to come too! Diane loves going to the farm to see Papa's cows!! Aunt Jen gave Diane her first french braid!! Diane was so excited she thought she was so big!!! She had so much fun playing and helping with Meric too!!

Uncle Eric was FINALLY able to talk Nana into going fishing!! We all ended up going and lots of fun!! They pond was full of catfish! They even had albino (white) catfish!

Labor Day

For Labor Day every year since well before I was born, my grandmothers(Omee) side of the family gets together in KY! We usually have a BIG breakfast at Emma Nell's house(Omee's sister)! It includes biscuits eggs....etc some of the not so usual ...squirrel.....cream corn.. it's really good! Well ok I haven't EVER had the squirrel but everything else is wonderful!!

This year was a little different! There are only two living siblings of Omee's left(out of 6) and including Omee the all are getting allstimers! And alot of people couldn't come this year! So we had lunch at my cousin Pam's house(Emma Nell's daughter)! We had Bar-B-Que, Hamburgers, hot dogs, and all the sides!!!

Below are a few pictures from the weekend! We always go up and spend the whole weekend, but we don't see most of the relatives til Monday! The first three pictures are land marks that we have made into kind of a "game" since I was little!! It made the time go faster!! We would see who could find them first!
