Classical Conversations

We love Classical Conversations. It has been such a great fit for our family.  All of the kiddos are in Foundations this year and TJ is in Essentials as well as Foundations.  Foundations is all around curriculum and Essentials focuses on English Grammar, Math and Writing.  I have learned SO much in this class and am so excited to be giving our children such a quality education.  I am so thankful the Lord brought this to our attention and to our community.

Charlie...

Apparently...labs are people...eh, people?!?  

I actually knew this, but really who shows their emotion by throwing caution to the wind and destroying the only thing you sleep on?!?! 

And who does it in record time?

I mean under 20 minutes?

Really?

A Labrador Retriever, that is who.  

And one who is technically still a puppy, though is actually 2 years old. 

And apparently misses Ruby when we are not around to keep her company. 

 This happened in less than 20 minutes people....

The song from "Annie" comes to mind....

Little Thief....

These are the pictures I find when my phone is stolen....

 Luckily, the culprit can't help but take a selfie...

More Basketball...

Just a bunch of pictures of Avarie's game one weekend and then the tournament the following.  The tournament was an entire day in the gym, with games back to back.  They came in 3rd and improved greatly throughout the season.

Go Jaguars!

Last Game:

 Avarie was fouled and had to shoot a free throw!!

Tournament:

 TJ helped with score keeping...

 So proud of you sweet pea!!

 Lylah helped with keeping the concession stand in business...

Ruby

Because of the chicken massacre of 2014 we had to get rid of our puppy Ruby.

She was a super sweet dog but we needed her to be with a family that didn't have chickens near by.

Thankfully the Lord provided just that family. 

We were sad to see her go, but happy to see her with a family that could love her! 

Finally!!!

 We finally got the snow we had been coveting! 

 Thereby making it possible to do some redneck sledding! 

Seahawks Superbowl

 Our beloved (by most of our family) Seahawks were of course in the superbowl! 

It happened to be the day before Jon's birthday as well, a pretty great birthday present! 

We celebrated at their home and had a good handful of Fries kids in Seahawk colors! 

Spoiler Alert...they won!
