Thursday, May 29, 2014. Before school was out….I was already making plans in my head of what I wanted us to work on with Parker throughout the summer. Namely:. I only chose 10 books per page because I didn't want her to feel so overwhelmed and like she would never be able to reach her goal. Not sure exactly how many I should expect. This is her first summer reading so we are just going with the flow. (hence, the reason I only wanted to do 10 at a time). Anyways…reading after breakfast…. At the library...

Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Letter of the Week: Cc is for Caterpillar (and Candy! We ended up doing Letter Cc before Letter Bb….because I order caterpillars, and since first comes the caterpillars then comes the butterfly….we did C first. :). Letter of the Week Printables from Confessions of a Homeschooler. So fun watching her growth in so many areas. Just really neat to see how in the beginning she did not know a thing about patterns. And now she loves them and is pretty good at them, too. We've done th...

Saturday, February 28, 2015. We've had snow a few times this week. Monday we got freezing rain and ice….enough for school to be cancelled. But the first day we got snow was Wednesday. I was at work and Parker was at school….but the big beautiful flakes fell and Geoff took Grace and Nolan out to enjoy for a bit. These next 4 pictures are pretty funny. Grace made a good-sized snowball…. 8230;and threw it at Nolan…. 8230;and he did NOT like it! Friday. More snow. And accumulation! Isn't that how it goes?

Thursday, May 7, 2015. Baby #4 : pregnancy and loss. On February 19th, I got my first positive pregnancy test. I say, 'my first'…because I took several. And just like the 4 times before that I saw that second pink line…a wave rushes over me and I immediately think, " Oh my goodness. How did this happen? Well- yes I do know how it happens. And yes- we were trying to have baby #4. We were overjoyed…and again…thankful for yet another blessing. The following week. we got quite a bit of snow. He tried to find...

Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Super Nolan's 1st Birthday Party. We had Nolan's 1st birthday party back in May…and for some reason. it just takes me forever to go through the pictures and post them. It's not that it takes me a huge amount of time…I just procrastinate. A lot. So…. The table of treats. Nolan's cake made by a girl we know and she did a fantastic job! And they reeeeally helped me out. I purchased this large digital "N" from AndersRuff. Aunt B and Nolan. Me and the boy. And I guess the new thing I...

Wednesday, March 11, 2015. RAINBOW in a Jar. We will be doing Letter Rr next week with Grace…which just sorta worked out with R. And St. Patrick's day falling during the week. But since we are on spring break this. Week…I thought we'd go ahead and knock out a couple of fun rainbow-themed activities to help fill up our days. (don't get me wrong…we have watched more episodes of Little House on the Prairie. Than I'd like to admit…so we are definitely having our lazy days! For what we did. I did read in some...

Sunday, March 23, 2014. This past Friday…we loaded up the minivan with our kids and niece, Payotn, and headed to the zoo. Bubs fell asleep on the way…but his nap was cut short when we got there. The girls were really excited to ride the carousel…and we decided to let them ride it first thing because usually by the time we are heading out….we really. Need to leave (i.e. babies and/or kids are about to have a meltdown). This was Nolan's first time and he seemed to enjoy it. Then we headed to the ponies for...
