Pie Eating for the Lord!

Our VBS kickoff was today, and Rich was a sweetheart and filled in for a lady in his Sunday School class who signed up for the Pie Eating contest. She wanted to back out of it because she didn't quite realize what she had signed up for. Anyways, so we went and cheered him on as he ate his creme pie. He came in fifth place and earned some coupons for Flyer's Pizza and Chic-fil-a. 

my TOMATO!

 This Summer, I grew a Tomato plant because our neighbor who usually supplies my family with Tomatoes didn't grow any this year. I decided to use a Topsy Turvy because, let's face it, that just sounds fun. ^_^

 I grew A Tomato and it was ready for picking today. This is me posing with it. ^_^

 This is me trying to figure out the proper way to pick it.

 This is me picking my lone Tomato.

And this is me loving on it! ^_^

Mom said we'll eat it tomorrow maybe, as a BLT. I told myself I'll at least try a little bit of him, because honestly I don't like Tomatoes. To eat, anyways. 

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

WOAH, it's been some time ...

This past Saturday we celebrated Aeris's second birthday! It had a Japanese theme to it this year. Kristin made that decoration flowing in the wind next to the lovely Kari. 

My parents being adorable. ^_^

 The table, the paper craft hanging above the table was made by Jeremy, the master of paper crafting. ^_^ The little bamboo tree on the table was made by him too. 

Aeris  about to blow out her candle.

 Aeris's friend, Caleigh, came to the party too. They were cute together. ^_^

 The birthday girl eating yummy cake. ^_^

 Aeris unwrapping her presents.

 Great grandpa and Aeris playing together with her new toy.

 Aeris playing with great grandma's face. ^_^

 Later on, a few of us went to the firework display at beulah park. The bright blue bracelet was bought this year, the dull glowing ones were bought last year. This is a lesson to you, if you buy glow jewelry, use it the year you buy it. ^_^ wise advice, that's what i'm here for. 

 the FELGERS! ^_^

 my parents being cute during the firework display. ^_^

Alright, have a wonderful week and Happy Independence Day! ^_^
