M's Experiment

M made a lava jar today in co-op. The teacher sent home extra tablets so she could show her family how it works. She was so happy to demonstrate this for us. 

Love the excited look on her face! 

She is loving Mrs. Kelly's class and we are so thankful for such sweet teachers!

Back to School party

We had a Back to School party at our house with some of our homeschooling friends. Sadly, I took a picture of the cake and that was it! Oh, well, maybe next time I will do better!

We are so thankful to have such great friends with whom we can get together and do play dates and parties with throughout the year!

First Day of Co-op

 Today is the first day of co-op for this school year. The kids are so excited for their classes this year a few of their classes this semester are Anatomy, tumbling, cooking, and art.

We are so thankful to be a part of a great homeschool group!

Immersion 2012

This is a youth activity at church. They had several games they played that  included some of the ingredients shown here.

Things like a slip-n- with eggs, chocolate syrup, and oil just to name a few.

They had a huge relay race filled with crazy things they needed to do with all the ingredients. Things like "flour" ghosts, cracking eggs on someone's head, drinking gross things, etc. They all had an absolute blast getting dirty!!!

E with some of her friends after the games!

The Launch 2012

The youth group kicked off their new school year with The Launch last night. E had a fantastic time eating supper, playing games, and being challenged from God's Word!

I am so thankful that she has a great group of friends who love the Lord and desire to have a closer walk with Christ.

Summer Fun...Go Kart

Scot surprised the kids with a "new to us" go kart.

The kids have been wanting one since we moved here and have all this space to drive on!
