Keebryn's Dynamite Valentines

For Keebryn's Valentines Day party we decided to make Homemade Dynamite Valentines! They turned out totally cute. We created a template for a rectangular shaped card with "You're Dynamite" typed on front, and printed them off the computer.

To make the dynamite...

we spray painted coin rollers ($1.00 for a full bag). The nickle holders worked best, but quarter ones will work also. Then, we cut a small piece of electrical tape and wrapped it around the tube, apx. 3/4th of inch up from bottom. It's starting to look like a little dynamite :) We had short strips of black yarn and attached one to each end flap with a hot glue. Then comes the good part... CANDY! We stuffed each with a strip of Starburst candy and folded the tip down, leaving the black yarn to hang. Simply glue the finished dynamite stick to your homemade Valentine card!

Keebryn's Big 7th Birthday!

For Keeb's 7th B-day, we visited the Elk in Cataloochee Valley in NC. He loved the elk and had never been so close to something with horns that big :) The party cake and gifts were displayed in the upstairs of an old barn and the weather was perfect for an awesome view. We had an amazing time... God truly blessed us all with an awesome 7 year old named Keebryn and a great time to celebrate!
