June Service Project

Friday, June 28, 2013 our 4-H club did a service project at the beginning of the street in which  Grandma lives, 1330 North in Logan, Utah. The weeds had taken over in front of the sign. Our club pulled the weeds and cleaned up the area.  It was very hot out and we decided that it was way too hot to plant flowers. But it looks lots nicer with the weeds gone.

 We are finished!

We ate popsicles to cool off 

Picture Pie Projects

Wednesday, June 26, 2013 we did art from Ed Emberley's Picture Pie a cut and paste drawing book.  We cut out circles and then made pictures with the pie shapes. Colter said that this was the kind of art he liked to do.  It was fun!

Self Portraits and Family History

This week in 4-H we shared stories of our family.  Cayla shared one about her dad.  Kaylee shared one about her mom.  Lee Ann shared stories about her parents.  Then we did some art work and drew our self portraits.

Memorial Day Service Project

For our service project for May we decided to do something with Memorial Day. Our club decided to put some flowers on graves that had not received any flowers.    The idea came when Grandma Lee Ann went to California and her sister in-law, Grace, gave her a gift card to buy flowers for her husband's headstone and his parents who are buried next to each other.  Grace wasn't able to come to Utah this year.  Maybe that is why some headstones do not have flowers, because their families live too far away.

                                           Joseph William and Eliza Buckley Hulse Grave

                                Joseph William Jr. and Charlotte Lofthouse Hulse  Grave

                                     Carma Hulse was Joseph and Charlotte baby daughter. LaRue Hulse another daughter is buried there in the same area along with Joseph's sister, Emma Pearl Hulse.
After putting flowers on the graves of our ancestors, the Joseph Hulse Families and children, we then looked around the cemetery to see those graves that did not have any flowers on.  There were plenty to choose from.

 We did headstone rubbings of all the graves we put flowers on.

Colter really wanted to put a flower on a headstone of someone who had served in the military. So our last flower was given to Frank B Skrepcinski WWII  born 1919 died 1998. Colter did a rubbing of the medal that Court is holding.

It was a nice day to remember our ancestors and those people that have served our country.

Oceans

Today we painted oceans.  We made a watercolor wash of blue then added to our pictures with markers.  We made palm trees and waves.  It was more challenging to paint the blue wash than we thought it would be.  The pictures turned out great.

Upside Down Drawings

Kaylee drawing her picture

Today in 4-H we did some drawing. To get us to use our brains, we found a picture we wanted to draw and turned it upside down. Then we drew what we saw. It was a challenge. It was fun to compare our pictures right side up when they were completed.
