The CBC Kids Camp Funny Farm Day!!!

A whole afternoon with our church’s children and their families at the Funny Farm!!! The BEST time!

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. 

Romans 11:36

20 My son, give attention to my words; 

Incline your ear to my sayings. 

21 Do not let them depart from your sight; 

Keep them in the midst of your heart. 

22 For they are life to those who find them 

And health to all their body. 

23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, 

For from it flow the springs of life. 

24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth 

And put devious speech far from you. 

25 Let your eyes look directly ahead 

And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. 

26 Watch the path of your feet 

And all your ways will be established. 

27 Do not turn to the right nor to the left; 

Turn your foot from evil.  

(Proverbs 4:20-27, NASB)

The Picnic Table…for Mr. Seeds

“Guys, get up!! Maybe the squirrel is on his picnic table?

While we wait for the squirrel, we at least have something super fun to look forward to: CBC Kids Camp!

!!!

A quick stop at the local fruit stand on our way home for some delicious treats. 



And look who we found snacking at his picnic table upon our return!!! Hi Seeds!!!!! Seems you need some etiquette training, but otherwise, we hope you love your new table!!

The 2023 Summer Handy Fair

Happy Handy Fair Day!

This year, the Conley Cottage Cafe was quite the hit with its new menu. The most adorable foursome sold their homemade “Snacklaces,” their beautiful Twirling Ribbons, and a fan favorite: the Ice Italian Sodas!

They had a great day of sales, a great day of learning, a great day of shopping, and an especially tasty afternoon of sweet treats, while surrounded by their homeschool friends at our Living Learning Library. We are so thankful for this special opportunity to learn in such a wholesome and fun environment!

Immediately upon returning home, they kids put all their Handy Fair items away and went outside to hang up the picnic table squirrel feeder that we bought for SEVEN DOLLARS(!) at the fair! Oh, what fun!!



And to top off an already-special day, we went swimming with some friends from Taekwondo. These summer days, we’re taking it allllll in!

Day 4,528

The Campers and Preppers

Drop Baby Sissy off at Camp time!

This big girl got to go to CBC Summer Camp all week all by herself and what a special treat it was!

And once the switch at noon happened, this big girl then got three hours all to herself with Mama and Daddy! Talk about special!

While they were gone, Molly and I finished up some crafting items for our bi-annual Handy fair. This year, Molly wanted to sell twirling ribbons, so here she is taping the stick with pretty washi tape!

All while the big kids spent three hours at their own CBC camp!

:)

When everyone was finally home, we finished up with helping Bearett make his “snacklaces” for the Handy Fair. Any chance for Bearett to interact with treats is definitely his thing. 



And finally, a small preparation and example of what Amelia and Ella Mae chose to sell at the Handy Fair: Italian Sodas!

Day 4,527

The Blessing of Friendship

These two have been friends since one year old and whenever I see them together, I think it’s fascinating how alike they look!

And yes, in case you were wondering, Bearett is growing like CRAZY right now!

We spent Sunday afternoon with friends









And Sunday evening with even more! 

The Lord has just been so abundantly kind to us.

The Summer of Fellowship

(July 8th)

Our summer has been FILLED with so much time alongside people we love. It is such a gift to be apart of a church body that is so involved in each other’s lives. We are thankful!

The foundation is officially prepped to be poured!

Concrete is next!!!!!!





And an afternoon Bearett farmhand to top it all off.
