Been awhile!

It has been awhile since I have posted. We have been staying busy and having lots of fun!

We took a family trip the other day and went on a hike. It was so fun and nice to be able to explore new things. I highly recommend families to spend quality time exploring their communities!

On another note: I have added a new link to the right side under Helpful Links.

Free Printables

I hope everyone checks it out and can find useful information to help them on their homeschool journey.

Lots of Love

The Purpose Driven Life

Well I finally started reading:

The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.

Oh my, I just LOVE it. I really think this read is going to be life changing.

I wanted to share a couple of really good things from the book so far:

Your earthly body is just a temporary residence for your spirit. The Bible calls your eartly body a "tent," but refers to your future body as a "house." The Bible says, "When this tent we live in - our body here on earth - is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us to live in, a home he himself has made, which will last forever."

here is another I just love:

"Unfortunately, those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it."

How true is this statement!!!!!

God says his children are to think differently about life from the way unbelievers do.

This book is a 40 day read. Only reading a chapter a day. Reading only a chapter a day, lets you reflect back on what was read and lets it soak in.

I hope if you haven't read this book, that you will!!!

Have a wonderful day!

I made this picture the other day. I just love to Digi Scrap.

Looking on this picture made me reflect on my girls. I never imagined in a thousand years, that I could be

given by God, the most amazing little girls. Of course, I bragging, their my own. I know every mother feels the same.

It's amazing the direction my life has taken and the relationships, memories, and love leaves me in awe.

On another note, school is approaching and its approaching fast. We really enjoyed our break. I'm not as organized

as I would like and I have alot of planning ahead of me. I'm confident that this year is going to be an enjoyable one.

The girls are at wonderful ages to be more spontaneous, to actually leave the house when we want. lol

Have a wonderful Week!

Family Reunion

This past weekend was a great weekend. We had a family Reunion for my husband side of the family. It was great to meet the family that I had only heard about, after 7 years of marriage. He had not seen most of them for 13 years. We swam for hours and rode the jet ski and boat. It was so fun. We stayed at the camp site in a camper the whole weekend and returned home with sunburns. That was the only thing I wish that hadn't happened. What did I expect though swimming for hours on end.

Levi Graduation

Well June 5th, 09 we celebrated my brother-in-laws home-school graduation. It was very nice. I'm glad the family was able to get together. My husband read a poem to his brother, it was so heartfelt. We also watched a DVD I helped with.

Congrats LEVI!
