A Boy's Lemonade Stand

 

***

Creighton and Oliver had our first lemonade stand of the summer.  A few weeks ago, the girls and I were coming home from a fancy day on the square and found our boys * open for business.*

Happy Birthday Cooper

 

We had a wonderful day playing at the park, mowing the grass, eating pan fried fish and chocolate cake, and visiting with family.  Happy 37th birthday!

Strawberry Jam

 

 

We had a fun day picking strawberries with our friends and cousins.

Sara-Cooper and I spent the next afternoon making  homemade jam.

While a little too sweet, it was still quite delicious. ;)

Cheer up Oliver

 It's Easter!

Preparing for Easter

 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.  For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words,of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.                Luke 9:23-27
