MY Cutting Board

I've had the same tiny cutting board since we got married.  I struggle to chop vegetables on it and Jason got tired of watching me.

So, he built/constructed me a new cutting board. 

 Actually, he made two, and they are beautiful!

Eating Glass

Yes, you read that correctly.

Mollee, Tavis and Daegan are all at camp.  This is Mollee's last year for this camp and Daegan's first year.  According to the kids, this is THE BEST WEEK OF THE YEAR!

When Chris' (the youth director) name popped up on my phone, I tried to assume it was one of the boys calling me, and not let my heart sink that there was an injury.  Heck, no child had called me yet.  *Hmpf*

Then, I heard Chris' voice.  "Hey, Gretchen, umm, your son would like to eat glass for the talent show, has he ever done that before?"

Now, I know what you are all thinking.  Tavis.  But, that is not what I was thinking.  I was thinking - Daegan.  He has grand ambitions of being a magician - he watches videos! :)  I was snickering inside.

"No, Chris, he has never done that before.  Thanks for letting me know."

Now, I'm sure your thinking I said - "Heck, No!"  I didn't.  I'm crazy.  I said, "Let me see what his Dad says".  I know, I know.  What is wrong with me??

Jason couldn't believe I was even asking him.  "No, No, No!"

I sent Chris a text.  I actually talked to Daegan twice.  He really felt confident it was going to be fine (he has a lot of Caines negotiating blood). 

So, there will be no eating of glass, this year.  I assured him we would check on mastering this talent, for next year...

All I can do is laugh.  Really, this cracks me up!!

Spray Park

While I only have two kids, I thought we'd test out the local Spray Park.

 

It was a fun outing while the big kids are at camp.

Granny's Rose

Granny gave me this rose from her rose bush for my counter.  I took this picture a week after I had it and it still looks pretty and the smell is incredible.

Puzzles on the Summer Forecast

We love puzzles!

This is one we bought Daddy for his birthday.  It was 2,000 pieces and he, Mollee and Mommy did it together.

 Mollee did this one, a 1,000 piece puzzle, mostly by herself one Friday night and all day Saturday.  She is really impressive at puzzles.

And, it pulls her out of her room and into the kitchen with the family. :)

Pops' Birthday

GA Communion

Communion served at GA by Father, Son and Son

(I took pictures, appropriate or not?) 

 This picture below, wraps up the personalities nicely

 Not to mention the fact that this represents Church, Daughter Church and Granddaughter Church.

A sweet time of worship!
