Buds, Birthday, Bucket

Anna and some BUDS over to hang last week...

 

 

 

Noah and some BUDS at church, one of whom moved to MO a couple years ago but was in town this weekend for a quick hello...

Josh's 41st BIRTHDAY fell on Saturday and he had us all go see a property he spotted in Macon County. 22 acres or so!

 

 

He loved all his BIRTHDAY surprises - triple chocolate bundt cake, Lowes gift card from his parents, solar landscape lights for his path to the greenhouse and bunny bin, a cookbook for his new air fryer he got for Father's Day, a Carhartt shirt, some bamboo plants from Anna, and a messload of socks he had on the Amazon wishlist.  ;) 

The girls and I painted a bunch of cards for doing another summer BUCKET list item:  random acts of kindness.  These will go out to random people, some with prayers, some with verses, some with encouragement, and some with some fun moolah or treats.   Other BUCKET list items we checked off last week and this week:  memorizing the books of the bible and creating with Monkey String.

Another BUCKET list item we just finished was an exciting one!  Noah finished up his summer Marvel marathon (in chronological order) that has been going on from his birthday in May til now, juuuuuuuust in time to catch Avengers: Engame in one of the last theaters its actually still showing in on Sunday night. Ha! Was a fun finish for him ...  

Apparently there are nine more MCU movies on tap to come out in the next three years, so he is so pumped to get to see them all shiny and new in theaters like all his buddies do now. I am excited for him, too! Fun checklist, fun milestone!
