Canning 101

2/24/13

Trav and I returned from our cruise today and instantly went to work! We stepped in and helped babysit our little friend, Jordan. 

We took this opportunity to teach Jordan Canning 101:) While on our walk, we found a couple of cans. 

Even Olsen joined in the canning fun today:)

Jordan didn't get out of his stroller to get the cans... and he didn't really "spot" any cans while we were walking.... but he's still young:) 

You're never to young (or old) to start canning! LOL! 

I Wonder...

2/17-24/13

I wonder if we can get some cruise ships to get on board with Cans4Christ! I would love to see all the cans on these ships and trips recycled! 

Trav and I enjoyed our week of vacation... and you guessed it! We found lots of cans in Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Key West!!! Check out some of the pics we took--- unfortunately, we couldn't take the cans home with us! 

This sign should say-- "Aluminum Cans for Cans4Christ ONLY"

People leave cans everywhere-- even in the gym!

We're teaching our nephew to can-- never too young to start canning:)

Our Brother-in-Law was trying to help C4C... but again, we couldn't bring these cans home! LOL!

It's even crushed! 

I like these crushed cans!!! Easier to carry and you can fit lots more into a bag:)

I was trying to point to the can while Trav took the photo-- totally missed! LOL!

If you know how to ask these cruise ships to join in the fun with Cans4Christ-- let me know!!!!!!! I want to see our can collection grow (and I think these ships would bring in a ton of cans for us! LOL!)!!! 

We Interrupt Our Regular Schedule....

3/9/13

...FOR A PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is Trav's birthday!!! Let's CELEBRATE!!! Happy birthday, Trav!!!!!! Psalm 118:24

VACATION...But First An Announcement

2/17/13

Trav and I head out to a cruise today!!! We are going to be on this ship for six days and one of our stops is Jamaica!! HOOOOOORAY:)

Funny thing is that today (the 17th) is the day our church does an Imagine campaign update, which means that Cans4Christ needed to have an update and announcement. But we were going to be gone....

THANK goodness our worship leader, Tony, stepped up to the plate and announced all the info! Since we missed church today (due to leaving the house around 8am for vaca), we watched the service online!

We made Trav's iPhone a "hot spot" and used the iPad to watch the announcement and sermon on Ustream. Then I got the brilliant idea of videotaping this using my iPhone! LOL! You can even seen our reflection on the screen!

THANK YOU so much to all from First Alliance Church-- your donations of cans, as well as your love and support, mean so much to us and Cans4Christ!!!! 

New Pup and Cans

2/16/13

I received a text from the Canning Princess, Tami, today with this picture. 

The Story: Jason, Tami, and Jacob went up north to get their new puppy today. On their way home, Jason saw a can, stopped the truck, and picked it up! YES!!!! Good eye, Jason:)

Here's their new little pup, Leroy! 

I can't wait to take him along for Thursday night canning routes (I figured that a small route and he could handle being in the truck that long!)!!!!
