August Birthday Celebrations

 

August is our biggest birthday month(four birthdays!) and John started us off on the very first day of the month! 

Opening presents!

Dad read some Scripture and had a prayer for John.

I had my 15th birthday toward the end of the month! 

Present time!

Sarah led me on a treasure hunt to find a gift from all of my friends!

She had some unique places to put the clues!

And then Jacob ended the August birthdays with his on the 26th!😊

What was your favorite post of this month?! Comment below and let me know!!😊

Happy Birthday Jacob!

Happy 22nd birthday to Jacob!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is very hardworking(y'all...he gets home from work and immediately begins work on other projects he has going on!) and diligent in all that he does. He is DEFINITELY an outdoorsman and would probably love to live out in the woods with just his guns and bow and arrows.😆😂😉 Comment below👇🏻and help me with wishing him a very happy birthday!!       

Hanging out with a friend.

Jacob is skilled in making bows, boats, and many other things. You name it, and he can make it!

He got an archery award this month!!

Hunting and fishing are things he definitely enjoys doing!

Happy birthday!!

"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You, oh let me not wander from your commandments!" Psalm 119:9-10

Happy Birthday Grace!

Grace turns 15 TODAY!! I (Sarah) am excited to jump back on the blog and do a birthday post for her! Grace blesses us so much with her cooking, amazing piano skills, humor, and all her hard work+energy.  She definitely adds a sparkle to our life and we are so thankful for her!

Lizzy adores "Aunt Grace"!

Grace worked hard on the Spring100 walking challenge this year and completed 200 miles!

Enjoying time with friends

Happy birthday Grace! 

I think Grace started a fun tradition here on the blog with John's birthday.... so don't leave until you comment and wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 😉😁

 

Bible Bee Proclaim Day

 A couple of weeks ago we had our Proclaim Day for Bible Bee, where the participants quote some passages to judges, and take a test to see if they qualify to take the National Bible Bee test. 

Getting ready to take the test!

Quoting to the judges.

We split into two groups and had a time of encouragement and quoting Scripture.

4-year old Bethany quoted some passages for us!

Bible Bee 2021!!

"And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." -Acts 5:32

Chicken Butchering Day

We raised meat birds this year and our friends, the Harbours, kindly let us use their equipment to butcher them.  Oh, and read till the end because there are a few cute pictures of a Lizzy visit today that I'm gonna share!😉

They have a really good set up!

An attempt was made to get a picture of the Harbour's tom turkey, but this hen kept photobombing the picture. 🦃😅

🙈😂😍

Cleaning up afterwards.

The hard working crew!

And...for the pictures I'm sure everybody is eager to see!😉😀

"Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." -Psalm 118:1
