30 little painted fingers

I thought this picture was just so adorable. Its so cute when I paint my nails how they come flocking with their 30 little fingers waving. :)

C - is for Camping

Well we did it. We finally opened up the box to our family tent that was purchased by my mother-in-law a couple years back. It was an exciting adventure for sure. They loved the camp fire and wanted so badly to jump in the water. It was getting dark and my fears took over so I didn't let them in the water this time. We still have all summer though. I'm know we'll be back for some more camping soon.

Gone Fishing

Well we headed up to the river this afternoon for some family fishing. Breanna has been wanting to go fishing with her daddy. The other girls stayed back home with Aunt Gabby. Everything was smooth sailing, well until we got stuck! YES, STUCK.... it seems the road washed away and so we tried to back up and to the frame we sunk. Good thing Uncle Jared was right behind us. After a tug and a pull we were finally on the way to the fishing hole. Ohhh Good Times. Seemly everyone was in good spirits and we even caught some fish. Also I captured some great pictures of Breanna with her daddy. Next time we will be spending some one on one time with Gracie, and boy is she excited. Of course Raylee will be after that. I think it is very important to spend one on one time with them. Everyone always seems to be fighting for our attention and this is a great way to get everyone a turn to themselves. ;)

Where We Learn

Here are a couple of pictures of where we learn. We actually learn all around the house, most times at the dining room table. Some times in the living room, other times in the sunroom. Sometimes we even do work in Bed! lol those days aren't so shabby :)

the Ultimate Homeschool Expo - don't miss this one

Well we got up this morning and it wasn't so dreary. The Sun was shining! The girls wanted to play outside. I rounded them up and got a couple of really cute photos.
