Bear's lunch

Bear is partial to Ranch Dressing........

Psalm 34:8

O taste and see

that the LORD is good:

blessed is the man that

trusteth in him.

Colors of the month

 Hot Pink Poinsettia.

My favorite flower,

and in my favorite color!

 My favorite Bear

This month he chose the 'colors of the sea'

for his braces.....

Psalm 33:8

Let all the earth fear the LORD:

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 

Bear Adventures

We finally got to the bottom of it!!!

Years of constant ear infections, plugged sinus, and feeling miserable told us there was a problem. 

 

The decision was made.....

It was time for Bear to have allergy tests....

out of 78 tests.... he was positive on 73.....

If it grows or has fur Bear is allergic to it.

One of the biggest reactions was to cats....ah hmmm

Bear is NOT a cat fan, so no problem there.

But he is allergic to all grasses, trees, flowers....this is a problem!

Bear started on 2 allergy shots a week.

Dr. P says mowing should not be a problem for him.

YES!

Bear doesn't enjoy landscaping like his brother does.

But he can still work with his brother!

Work is good for Bear!

Both boys are allergic to grass......

Isaiah 40:8

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:

but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

2 Timothy 2:1-2

Thou therefore, my son ,

be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

And the things thou hast heard of me among many witnesses,

the same commit thou to faithful men,

who shall be able to teach others also.

Monthly look

Bear finally got a bracket on his last tooth this month.

He also felt that for a few days.

It was a little painful.

He chose RED and Green for this month!

Psalm 128:2
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands:

happy shalt thou be,

and it shall be well with thee.


2012 International Car Show

For my husband's birthday

we went to the Car show at the Orlando Convention Center.

The boys were thrilled to find they could test drive some of the cars there.

And test drive they did!

Always easy to spot Todd in a crowd!

 He was very excited to test drive a new Toyota Truck.

 Doug and Bear took a turn in this one.

 Todd chose the truck to drive.

 Doug and Bear tried out a Kia 'Soul' car.

 Todd in a Hyundai Genesis. He liked!

He wasn't overly impressed with the Jeep he drove.

 Getting in and out of cars was fun for the boys!

 Bear was told to get in the back of many vehicles.

We were looking to see what might be our next vehicle.

Hmmm we narrowed down the list to just a couple.

 The 3 boys sat nicely in the back of a Ford F350.
But, our mechanic isn't a Ford Guy.....

 but his daughter liked the driver's seat!

 And she LOVED this car... especially the color!

Hmm I wonder if Todd is thinking about

how he could get their bikes on his car? 

Nah, he should just put the bikes in his truck!

Psalm 77:13

Thy way, O God,

is in the sanctuary:

who is so great a God

as our God?
