Party at the Layman's #4

The evening concluded with a great meal and lots of fellowship...Children and adults alike had a great time and we are already expecting the Laymans to host another party VERY SOON ;-)

Borders Reading Program

This year, Eden, Keziah, and Azaryah entered Border's Summer Reading Program. They each read 10 books and Borders gave them each a FREE book!!!

Azaryah LOVES Flat Stanley...

The girls took a LONG time picking out just the right book ;-)

Great Job, Kiddos!!!

Cassadie and Kailey...SuperStars

We had the privilege of enjoying Cassadie and Kailey's performance last night!!! They "BeBopped to Aesope's Fables"...Very cute!!!!

Tattoos...

All three little ones earned several awards this morning in the Summer Reading Program. Eden and Keziah have read 450 minutes and Azaryah has read 10 books in 4 days!!! One award is a READ tattoo...Aren't they cute?!?!? Corbyn has read three chapter books in 4 days and has entered his name for each book in a drawing for a $50.00 gift card or a video recorder...Hoping for either!!!

New Creations

Yesterday, I had the blessing of sewing ALL DAY LONG!!! I was able to sew both of my girls a dress, two baby dresses for gifts, a dress for sale, my sister a dress, and Glen and Keziah completed her night gown.
This is the dress I made for my Sissy...

Keziah modeling her night gown that she and Daddy made...

One of the baby dresses...

I began to sew because my hubby asked me to learn so I could teach our girls to sew...I had no interest in learning but I wanted to honor him...Now, I am HOOKED!! The girls and I LOVE LOVE LOVE to create things and sew together!!!

Daddy, the Seamstress

Glen is truly a "Jack of All Trades"...I have no idea how to cut out a pattern but Mr. Jones does so he helped Keziah and I cut out her gown pattern so we can sew on it today!!! Love that Man!!!!

Ready, Set, READ!!!

This morning, the children got signed up for the Summer Reading Program at the local library.
