September wrap-up

 What a great month! 

"Hiding!"  One of Landon's favorite games

 Landon's First VBS!!

 Harvest did the Group Publishing VBS kit- High Seas Expedition this year.  The toddler room isn't as involved as the older kids but Landon had fun with what they did do.

Ocean Tattoos-Shark

Two tattoos! Turtle

Singing! One of Landon's favorite things to do. 

His class also sung "Shout to the North" one stage as part of the VBS wrap-up.  Landon sung a little and danced on stage.  Unfortunately I forgot my camera that day.

ROCK THE UNIVERSE!

Our youth group went to Rock the Universe on Friday night.  I chaperoned while Daddy and Landon had a boys night. 

The kids, well a couple of them aren't technically kids but they are to me.

Rainbow

We actually saw a full rainbow and then a double rainbow.  How blessed are we!

Newsboys!

Skillet!

 

 

They were so awesome!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One last group shot, I think everyone had fun.

The shaperones, we all had fun even if we got rained on

 Tubing down the River
After Sunday services we headed over to the Ichetucknee River since they had free entrance fees if you had a library card.  We also just needed a relaxing family day.  We had a picnic lunch and then loaded up and headed down the river.

"Rea-dy.   Hurry Mommy Daddy, please!"

Surfing on Daddy

"Pig Back Daddy!"

About 5 minutes after these pictures were taken and about 15 minutes before we made it to the end of the tubing trail it started down pouring.  It was beautiful but really cold.  It came down so fast, Josh had to keep bailing out the boat while I tried to hide Landon.  He had almost fallen asleep on me right when it started pouring.  It was a huge blessing to Landon and I especially when we got out there was a guy who ran over to us and helped us get to some place dry.  Josh braved the rain and cold and got our stuff to safety and returned the boat.  The guy offered us food, drinks and nice warm towels.  Everything of ours was soaked (thankfully I remembered to bring a zip lock baggy for the camera and keys.  Whoever you are guy, thank you so much for getting me and my little boy dry and warm!

Colors and Patterns


Landon and I typically try to do a few "educational" games through out the week.  I think it is that teacher in me wanting to have lesson plans ready everyday.  I can't wait until Landon and the rest of our future little ones are all old enough to do "school" everyday.  I am so excited to homeschool them.  I have a closet full of stuff Pre-K-8th grade!  So anyone out there who wants to borrow, peruse or just ask advice- I am the lady to see!

I pulled out these foam tanagram manipulables.  Landon loves colors and matching things so we made a game out of it.  He got everyone right and even grabbed his cars and blocks to get in on the game.  Bourbon dog seems to enjoy watching the whole thing. (See the picture- left hand side).

Just trying to push Landon a little and see what he could do I started putting the foam pieces in patterns and asked him if he could match them.  He got everyone right even when I did three color patterns with no help!  He really loved all of it.  I was a proud Mommy!  The only downside is it makes me realize how fast he is growing up.
