Baseball

Here are a few pictures from the game Braden played when Grandma and Grandpa were here.

Peony Parade

Nick, Braden, and Jared passing out info on the 1st UM vacation bible school.

How cute is this?

The biggest unicycle I've ever seen.

Dallas and Daddy.... he knows just where to scratch her!

Enjoying the parade? Hard to tell.

Painting with Aud

This past Thursday, while Braden was at "smart kid camp" down in Coldwater, I went to Celina and had lunch and painted pottery with Audrey. I loved it! We ordered our food, picked out our pottery, and then sat down and painted while we ate/chatted. You leave your painted piece with them and they fire it later. Aud will pick the finished pieces up next week. Can't wait to see how it looks once it's completed!

Here's Aud working on her coffee mug.

She only used 2 colors. I used 5!!!

The outside of my bowl: black and brown with purple and yellow polka dots

The inside: blue with a purple and yellow "VC"

If it looks good, I'm going to go again later in the summer and possibly paint a dog bowl for Dallas. And in November, the pottery people are coming to our church for a women's night of painting/fellowship! How exciting!

Lawn Mower Man

Grandpa Ernie decided to try Braden out on the mower several weeks ago. He did ok..... as long as Grandpa was directing him.

Maybe his MP3 player was a bit of a distraction.

Sure looks like he's concentrating though.

And enjoying being in the driver's seat!
