Family Reunion Second Cousins

-
One of the things I was most looking forward
to at the Family Reunion was
watching the Second Cousins Play Together.
Getting Ready for the Second Cousins to arrive.

The second cousins being silly with the older cousins
and their Great Uncle too.
Caleb took every opportunity to
hang out with the VanLoenen Second cousins.
I think the sun was in their eyes
at the Olympic Training Center.
These first cousins are definitely BFF's.
Popcicles were good on a warm day.
Caleb enjoyed being with Sarah and Caitlin.

A game of parachute.
The instructor didn't know what she
was getting herself into.
Another popcicle photo.
I think this might have been at the
Drum Activity.
Eating in the fort
at Nana and Ducca's house.
Ducca had buried some treasure for them to find.
Nathan was successful.

Aunt Stacie found one!
This is the artwork that these
two sweet boys made for me.
My deck bears witness that all 7
Second Cousins were together.
Cora and Graham will be in more
pictures at the next Family Reunion
when they can hold their own
with the big boys.

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because.

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
