Hobbies

When I'm in the mood to create, I love to sit down and take on a fun project. I saw this cute ruffle tote bag on Pinterest and thought I'd attempt it. I just so happened to have my friend Christy's birthday party coming up and thought it would be fun to give it to her as a gift. I loved how it turned out and might have to make another, or two!!! I even learned how to make fabric flowers to embelish with!

I was then in the mood to cook. I know Adam likes eggs benedict so I decided to give it a try this weekend. It turned out really yummy and wasn't as hard as I thought it would be! Good times!!!

Old fashioned technology

I love it that despite all the fun technology that is out there, my kids still love to make things and play with their homemade inventions. The other day's craft was a little twist on both. Cole came up with the idea of making laptops out of some boxes we had meat in in the freezer. He cut them out a little bit and then we added a printed off keyboard template and I let them print or cutout pictures of things they like for the scree. They have been lots of fun and we made one for Troy when he came over too.

This Child Belongs to Jesus!

Uncle Tim showing off Kade to the congregation

As we have with all our boys, we had Kade dedicated at church a couple Sundays ago. It is important to us to have our kids dedicated as an outward acknowledgement that we are not in control of their lives and recognize that God is the one they belong to. He has blessed us with the awesome responsibility of raising them and guiding them in the way they should go. My Uncle Tim and Grandpa Johnson were able to do the dedication, which made it all the more special. Missy was in town and Casey and Kim were here as well, along with all the local fam, our parents, Keith, Michelle, and Gage, Jenny, Chad, and boys, Neil, Kary and Scott and boys (my cousin), Sarah (cousin), and Aunt Mel and Kaylee. It was amazing to be surrounded by family who are fighting the good fight with us to raise our boys to be Mighty Men of God!!!

You never know when disaster might strike!

Here are some random pictures of the boys from the last month or so. I don't want them to get missed but I don't have a certain theme. I guess the theme is "Cute Bucher Boys"!
