somewhere in between skip to main skip to sidebar monday march 31 2014 let s go back to december i m posting about december i know this is more for me than anyone else if you re still reading and have the slightest bit of interest in our family thank you you re a trooper i want to remember these precious years with graham and this seems to be the best way right now so here goes i m crossing my fingers that i ll post a monthly update until we re caught up don t hold your breath christmas time was crazy for us we had multiple parties and activities and i was in charge of the big kids production at church christmas with graham was so fun though we started our tradition of elf on the shelf cheese the elf g s pick came right after thanksgiving and stayed with us until christmas graham still asks about cheese at least once a week we started our family tradition of a simple advent calendar this year we just read a portion of the birth story it was sweet to hear graham say the angel said no be afraid and graham could tell you every character in the nativity scene so so precious graham picked out snickerdoodle cookies for santa and apples for the reindeer he loved his gifts but he seemed very concerned about where cheese the elf ran off to sweet boy santa didn t go overboard on him but did bring him a big mater truck don t worry though he was quite spoiled by the grandparents and other members of our church his favorite gifts were his woody buzz and bullseye characters from toy story his fire fighter tent and gear and his house shoes like daddy one of his favorite gifts was a shaving kit just like daddy he had to try it out that morning of course here s g in our little christmas musical at church we had about 7 2 3 year olds stand on the stage and sing a little jesus song graham did it all by himself multiple times on daddies stage but when the time came for the big performance he was more interested in the sheep oh well posted by kat at 3 31 2014 no comments thursday november 21 2013 graham turned 2 in september ugh i ve got that love hate relationship with the whole blogging thing too i want to do it really i do but i make other things a priority which some of the things are good like cooking dinner playing with graham preparing bible class etc but some nights i just want to sit on the couch and watch adam levine on the voice ya know but here s the deal graham turned 2 in september and i ve yet to blog about it so here goes we had our annual birthday breakfast at the donut shop in town graham picked a pink sprinkled donut he loves pink he wants pink everything pink ice cream a pink bike wanted to be a pink dinosaur for halloween the list could go on and on we gave him a few choices of party themes and he chose a tractor party he loves tractors and everything about farms so away we went i love his birthday shirt and besides him saying itchy itchy all day i think he liked it too our church has a great space for parties and we had just done a farm themed vbs perfect i think i ll choose vbs themes based on what i think graham might like for his birthday party from now on free decorations right his friends played and dug in big barrels of deer corn it was quite messy but quite fun his favorite gifts his dump trucks back hoe bike and helmet and why is it that he was the only child with cake all over his sweet face the boy can t eat cake without getting super messy so there ya go the big 2nd birthday happy birthday sweet boy oh and did i mention that he was wearing underwear for his party a potty trained 2 year old go graham posted by kat at 11 21 2013 no comments wednesday september 11 2013 hay day vbs 2013 we had a great vbs this year it was my first official time to be in charge of it other years we had a committee in charge but since the church offered me the job of children s coordinator this was my first year to plan it myself since altus is a farming community i chose the curriculum hay day vbs it was a great success and i ll let the pictures do most of the talking it was so fun to be the song leader skit leader etc for each evening i had some help from sunflower sam the kids loved him he s a local farmer in town a pretty good one too but he played the part of the farmer who didn t know how to farm he was great the two evenings consisted of crafts snack games and the bible lesson on the final night we invited all the children s families to join us for a county fair it was complete with hot dogs watermelon a petting zoo hay rides bobbing for apples seed spitting contest pie eating contest and lots of great fellowship such a great way to end vbs oh and turtle races how fun and yes my son and his bff elle got in the pins with the animals silly kids posted by kat at 9 11 2013 3 comments sunday september 01 2013 learning to lead y all 4 posts in one month you re welcome let s start off september on a good blogging foot ok ok great so the week after we spent the week in abilene for kadesh i packed up again and went to learning to lead it was so good for me to be there i primarily worked l2l during my time at leadership camps and now i remember why i m always going back now promise it s just where i belong i took 6 kids from our church with me and they loved it on the car ride down to abilene i asked each of them what they were looking forward to and what they were nervous about it was precious to hear what they were nervous about the girls said things like what if i don t make any friends what if my counselor doesn t like me what if i get lost serious things to girls the one boy that i took said umm what if my roommate snores such a difference between girls and boys at this age both precious a week before camp i asked melanie fullerton to lead a group with me she agreed and i think it was one of the best weeks for her too you ll see why during my first summer working l2l i got placed into the orange group with a leader named von he was hysterical and such a great group leader for the kids on the first night he played truth or dare with his campers and counselors of course kids got the truth questions and the counselors got the dares needless to say i was dared to drink pickle juice or so i was told it was pickle juice when i chugged the glass i soon found out it was jalapeno juice hot melanie had von two years later and had the exact same dare so what do we do with our campers and counselors on night one yep truth or dare poor rachel got stuck with the jalapeno juice kids loved it though and we were thankful for the good sports they were all week with our crazy antics here s 4 of the 6 kids i took with me from our church jaci brianna tyson and laura the awesome navy blue group gosh such precious kids they shared lots that week and i continue to pray that the lord will bless them during their time in 6th grade mel and i might have been the only group leaders to participate in crazy hair day hey things you do for kids right so so much fun and so blessed that acu leadership camps are a part of our lives oh and don t worry little g was well taken care of by pop and reerees it was my first time to be away from him for a whole week i don t want to do it again anytime soon but i know it was good for both of us and he was just a little spoiled thanks pop and reerees posted by kat at 9 01 2013 no comments monday august 26 2013 kadesh 2013 we were so blessed this year to attend acu leaderships again we had missed the two previous summers because of little graham but we were ready to go back it was such a great week clint lead a group of college freshman and i just got to be around and experience kadesh with graham graham was quick to find his friend cora who he adored all week he d wake up in the mornings asking for cora bob strader and jesus more on that later graham and i got to experience lots of fun things in abilene too we were constantly busy and we both had a ball we went to the grace museum the abilene zoo target hobby lobby yes those are meaningful trips since we don t live in a town with them and swimming in the acu rec center it was such a great week for graham too goodness the picture below just melts my heart i stood there in worship just reflecting on all my worship times at kadesh my first year as a kadesh camper i sat in those devotionals broken hearted because clint had just broken up with me don t worry it all worked out i remember my precious time as a counselor and how meaningful kadesh worship was then too now as an adult with a child man it was a sweet sweet time i only pray that graham will get to have similar experiences as clint and i had every morning we had to go see willie the wildcat we d make our way into the kidquest room and graham would run through 50 kidquest campers just to get to willie he adored him here s the jesus story every morning clint and i read out of jesus calling graham likes to flip through it and find the picture of big jesus as he calls him it s just a picture of jesus with long hair and a cross it s cute to hear graham say there s jesus so we get to camp and during our first leaders meeting graham spots andrew lang the counselor below graham says to me momma jesus i say graham that is jesus andrew comes over and sweetly talks with graham i clue him in that graham thinks he s jesus then cutest moment ever andrew is eating a cookie and graham says momma jesus eats cookies oh melt my heart andrew and i both could not handle it so all week graham would spot andrew and say there s jesus we had to get a picture taken with him but graham got all shy when he got in his lap i guess i might have too if i were in the lap of jesus our youth group loved kadesh and i was soooo glad we took 5 kids this year but i know more and more will continue to come on the last day of camp clint baptized one of our sweet guys they had great stories to share and were thankful of their time at camp i got to speak at kadesh on monday night it was actually my first time overall it went ok i criticize myself easily and know i could have spoken more slowly said a few things differently etc but i felt like my message was exactly what the lord wanted me to share i probably gained more from sharing than any of the teens did from listening then you have clint who brings down the house every time he opens his mouth at camp i love the story he shared love hearing him speak and love watching him in his element at kadesh goodness we were blessed by just 5 days in abilene cannot wait to go back next year posted by kat at 8 26 2013 1 comment monday august 19 2013 burns family vacation in june we spent the week with clint s family in buena vista colorado at young life s trail west lodge i ll let the pictures do most of the talking but we had a great time i went far enough to say that this was the best burns family vacation to date here s why the camp staff plan all of your activities and meals for you all you have to do is show up isn t that great in past vacations that s where all the stress comes from trying to plan meals and activities since that was taken away the time together was much more meaningful and much less stressful graham and owen loved the watermelon i m pretty sure that s all graham ate that entire meal this happened a lot don t you wish you were small enough to climb up in clint s lap and have him read you a story these boys were in heaven clint rode a horse one morning to our cowboy breakfast graham was enthralled by the horse luckily g got to ride one later that day too our sweet family at the cowboy breakfast the entire burns clan graham is waving to the horse he s about to ride he would say hi neigh horse he was a little skeptical at first but loved his time riding cheese the horse a little family game of frisbee golf in the aspen grove even graham got to join in the fun i promise he s having more fun than it looks lots of fun swimming time and one of the best parts a square dance so fun yes i dressed up boots and all y all graham chowed down on some corn fun little park for the kids to explore and the family on one of the last nights can you tell i m the shortest out of the bunch not pictured are our river rafting day clint stayed behind with the kids and our ropes course day i got to zip line on the ropes course and it was so much fun all in all a great family vacation seriously look up trail west camp and spend some time there if you can posted by kat at 8 19 2013 no comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me kat clint and i have
