Tiny Tots Website is now LIVE


The Tiny Tots website is now LIVE. Check it out! It will always be a work in progress but it's up for the general public now. We had over 400 hits on the first day of the launch. I will have to keep checking to see what the stats are. How exciting! I praise the Lord for the opportunity to reach little ones. I can't wait until we can get the AUDIO Bible lessons on there.
Always looking for feedback so let me know what you all think!

Coming Soon.... TINY TOTS WEBSITE!

Coming soon, hopefully this next week or so will be the new Tiny Tots website. I am praying the Lord will bless the endeavor and reach little souls for the kingdom, all to His glory. I am anxious to release it. Like the KIDS' TIME website it will ALWAYS be a work in progress, I will always be updating and always adding new stuff. One of the neat features to come will be AUDIO BIBLE STUDIES geared for kids 5 and under. Auntie Linda will be doing the voice over for them. FUN! I will post the link when It is ready for release.

Anyone familiar with TINY TOTS on 3ABN will notice (when the site is up) all the segements on the show are on the website, and more! How fun!

The initial index screen (homepage) below will have a flash animation with the tiny tots farm and house.



Story Time 2009

Well It's October and we just got back from helping on the set of Story Time for Kids' Time down at 3ABN in Illinois. It was a ton of fun. Here are a few photos from the adventure. These photos here are a few "odd" ones that I liked really well. I posted a ton more (250+) on the KIDS' TIME website, check it out HERE.

I really liked this photo below, it really looks like it would make a good paintin, lots of grat colors, lighting and action. hmmmmmmm If only I had more time. Reminds me of a Nathan Green.
Pictures from the set.
The above printed street scene in the archway looks really neat from this angle, almost real!

Caught on camera, priceless!

furry boots on a trampoline


I was going through some photos tonight and ran across this one I took this summer-from underneath a friend's trampoline. Their dog Micah is the coolest pup. Check out his "furry boots", as we like to call them.

For the national-talk like a pirate day this past week... He was our "first-mate-furry-boots".

Frog Sold!



Well it's been a while since we have talked about the frog sculpture... I just wanted to post to let everyone know that the TONGUE TIED frog sold at Auction this week at the "H" hotel. It went to a private buyer for $1300! Boy I would have loved to see some of that cash, but not so.
Didn't win the judges contest or the peoples choice. Better luck next year!

Good news though, my friend Molly won for the People's Choice! Awesome! Happy for her! Her Lillian the Amphibian was cool!

More good news, the auction for all the frogs grossed over !22,000 for next years sculpture event! Woohoo, can't wait!

The 3ABN Booth Team!



Working the 3ABN booth was quite the experience. Mellisa and I managed a lot of different tasks. A lo of the goal was to let people know about the KT4J website. We had over 400+ Sign ups for Bible lessons, 500 or more sign ups to win the free t-shirts we screen printed (see older posts) From about 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or late every day we spent on our feet. The massive amounts of people that cycled through there was staggering. I don't think we were prepared for that. Or the conditions; walking 5+ miles a day in the 90 degree heat carrying all out stuff. We traversed a lot of the camp ground too looking for winners. We found a lot but a lot we didn't, so this next week will be spent sending out shirts to the winners.

People might think, oh big deal, a shirt. But think about it for a moment. The shirt is advertising, it's a way to "share jesus" with others. You never know who might read it from anywhere in the country-pass it on or down to someone else. It's neat to think of all the "seeds" we will be sending out. And who doesn't "love" being a WINNER of something.
This is so much fun. That reminds me of the soon ending DRAW MAXWELL CONTEST that we have on the KT4J website too, check here and check the entries, its cool! We have some awesome entries. One of my favorites is from Saudi Arabia! Way fun to have kids from ALL OVER THE WORLD getting involved and using the site. Makes one "on fire" for the Lord and sharing.

We made some great life-long and eternal-long friends at Camporee 2009! Can't wait to meet in heaven! or the next Camporee, whichever comes first. :)

Sabbath Morning Pathfinders

TROOP M.A.S.H.








Looking sharp!

Sometimes its just nice to get a little quiet reading time in. :)


Ready for marching!





late night fun!

Do you recognize some of your children? I used my PHOTO BOOTH to take some goofy photos of the kids last night.
I think this looks like the Mr. Roboto dance...but actually I just caught her in mid movement.



All of the girls were having fun going around and singing to each person, asking them questions. I don't think there was one person in the camp that didn't get asked. Including Emily who was brushing her teeth at the time. (I kindly didn't put that photo up. :)

few pics (fri)

getting ready in the morning... It's always good to have some help.

Our Maxwell pin at the booth, we trade them for pathfinder group, conference, and union pins. Brenda has a special show she collects them for.


Today was our busiest day at the booth! Oi, sorry for the lack of photos from today, we didn't get to the site until most everyone was leaving for the evening show.

Tomorrow morning, Sat, we have some free time. We will be at the booth tomorrow, (not selling) from 1-5 and then open for business at 9:30-12 a.m. or 1 a.m.
It's going to be a late night.

I will try to get some photos though tomorrow morning of people/groups. We will also be delivering all of our t-shirts, around 20+ to the various individuals in the camp ground. I think initially we thought it would be easier to find people (like MI camp meeting) but no, it is so hard to find groups/conferences, especially Rhode Island, Georgia, and Idaho. hmmmm
You THINK there would be a map... but nope.
So we will be packing on the miles tomorrow. I think most everyone else (kids) will be going to the meeting (about esther) not sure, we have been out of the loop.

Conference Signs

This one is HUGE! Greater New York Conference


We will be taking more pictures the next few days of conference and camp signs, some of them are really cool. Keep checking back.

Since we have traversed nearly all of the camps, and there is a lot we have seen some pretty neat ones. Florida Conference is HUGE, so is NY, some we can't seem to find, Idaho, Rhode Island. We keep looking, but the campgrounds are HUGE... we probably walk between 5-10 mi a day.
whew!

Popeye

Joshua T. won a shirt admist all the entries, he is from our camp. Here he is eating breakfast this morning. Kinda looks like popeye with cantaloupe. That sun is sure bright!

More Random Camporee Pics (thur)

Our camp life revolves around food. It happens to be the only time we get a chance to get back to camp... so I snap a few pics when I can.




Kids' Time Camporee Booth pics (wed)

These are some members fromthe Jamaica Crown Royal , NY Pathfinder group. Out of the hundreds of KT entries we have drawn 4 winners from their group! A friendly bunch. We deliver winner shirts in the mornings and told them we would be over for breakfast. :)
