Summer Fun with Granny-Mamaw Jean

This was a sticky cross you pull the paper off and it is a sticker. You then put what you want on it we put buttons. This was a practice for Vacation Bible School.
Before I left for a meeting and mom was going to watch Sydney I put up a clothesline in the kitchen. I then put baby clothes of Syd's that I had kept for her to put on her baby dolls. She practiced putting clothes on the clothes line and take them down.
I saw this idea on the Internet. You take a cupcake holder cut it as show then glue a ball in the middle and we put a pipe cleaner on the back. A craft stick would of been better but we didn't have any.
Loved this idea. I saw this on the internet. My neighbor was having a yard sale. I asked her how much this make up holder was and she let Syd have it. I saw this on the internet I put together a crafy kit for her. She mostly likes to look at the supplies right now. She takes them out and back in. She loves it as much as I do.

Sydney always calls mom Granny but all the rest of the grand kids call her mamaw. Oh well, I had a meeting and I left some crafty projects for them to do.

Bible School Projects

This is my new TV stand. I have decided when we get birthday cards, or any projects, trophies that the kids receive that we will put them here for a while to display them. I feel that we do projects and we should display them as a piece of art.

This project was really simple. I got foam swords from dollar tree and foam letters. This was fun for all ages.
This project was for the babies. It was a special saying and the teachers traced Sydney's hands.
Sand art-Cindy Baird the nursery leader came up with this one. She was going to teach but bible school date was changed she already had vacation date set. Lois Miller and Deloris Collier was Sydney's teachers they did an awesome job. Every evening after bible school Sydney came out with all the stuff she made to show me. She was so excited.
This is a craft I copied from my sister-in-law Emily Miller. She just graduated from Eastern Ky. University with a teaching degree. She made one for my mother-in-law Lelia. You need a flower pot, stones, ink pens, green floral wrap, and flowers. You put the flower at the top of the ink pen and wrap with the floral tape until you get to the end. This was a little tricky for the kids that did understand how to wrap. Some were wrapped a few times in the same place. Oh well, I loved this project. We just put foam fish stickers around the bottom. If you would like you could make this using a bigger pot and put hand prints around.
This was a dollar frame, with a piece of scrapbook paper inside and foam Noah's Ark stickers from Oriental Trading. Easy, Easy but so cute.

This year I helped with the crafts for babies, preschool, kindergarten, first-second, third fourth. I will post photos of a few of the projects.

Tyler' Birthday Part 2

Happy Birthday Tyler Ray!

This was Tyler's 9th birthday party. He had a pool party at his house. There were lots of kids there and parents. We ate good, and the water was so warm. Tab has a heater with her pool. I wore my bathing suit. I was the only parent there dressed to swim. I wanted to get sun. I did get lots of it. Zack has learned to swim this summer. Syd is still a little afraid. Tab had her a small pool.

Zack Basketball Camp at PCC

Zack and Tanner went to basketball camp at Perry Central. Zack is really good at basketball to be so young. He won two trophies knock out and hot shot. We are all very proud of him.

Making Fruit Kabobs

Devin and Balen came up to visit so we made fruit kabobs. We had strawberry's, apples, grapes and bananas. They were great, until I got in the bowl in the fridge they were taken apart. Zack and Tanner ate all the strawberry's and left the rest. Oh well, they had a good time.

God Bless,

Summer Fun

Summer Fun. What Can I Say. This is one of the first things we did. I am loving this ice cream from Blue Bunny flavor Bunny Tracks. It has chocolate pieces, peanut butter and vanilla ice cream. Sydney and I got out our ice cream cups (of course she had to have pink) and next added ice cream, caramel magic shell, and whip cream. We also listen to music on the front porch. Tanner got a new IPod ITouch for Christmas and he gave me his old one IPod Video. I have a docking station on the front porch and I love listening to music. My new song is Baptised Jesse Taylor. Densmore my pastor use to sing it when I first joined church. I love that song. We also have Hannah Montana and Dora songs downloaded. We painted outside in the front yard. Dad cut down legs on a table for Sydney. I was so excited that Zack decided to join Syd and I.

Tanner's 8th Grade Graduation

Tanner graduated this year from 8th grade. He will be going to high school at Perry County Central. I am excited for him. He will have so much fun, hopefully not to much. He has signed up for honor's classes. I will probably be getting another high school education helping him with Honor's English. He did not want to take this class. I wanted him to. I figured the best teachers taught these classes and they would end up being easier because the teachers would explain the work better. He is away at basketball camp right now at Georgetown College. I wish Jon or I or someone was with him. He has called me four time since he left this morning at 8:00. Oh well, I am sure he will be fine.

God Bless,

Teresa

Our Home Sydney's Room

It has Been A While

It has been so long that I don't know where to begin. We have been busy with the remodel and school. Summer is here and we are having a blast. This summer Tanner and Zack has went to basketball camp and we have already had bible school. I have been taking photos every time we do something fun. I will post them. I have decided that if I didn't have time to write I could at least post a photo. I take around 2000 a year between my family and children. I actually have not had any developed and now well it is going to cost too much money. I am going to start in Jan. and get them developed this week. I want to post a photo of the best one I have seen this year. It is simply adorable.
