First Duck

Tim and TJ went hunting this weekend during the youth hunt and TJ was able to shoot his very first ever duck!  He was SOOOO excited and is hoping to have it mounted.  We'll see....

First Day..

Well...it has begun, another year of Classical Conversations, another year of homeschool.  

Homeschooling has been one of the GREATEST decisions we have made regarding our children, and we are so thankful to continue to be called to this.  We love Classical Conversations and our kids have been counting down the days until it started up again.  

We started Monday, Sept. 9th and it was AWESOME as it has been!  
TJ is in the 5th grade now! (How did that happen?)  
He is in both Foundations and Essentials through Classical Conversations.  
He eats ALL.THE.TIME. which I am told happens.  
TJ is not a huge fan of "school" but if he had to pick his favorite subject would be his memory work for CC. 
Avarie Rae is in the 3rd grade (Again, how?).  
She is in Foundations with CC, and loves it!  She has made some sweet girlfriends there and I love that she is surrounded by such precious girls.  
Avarie loves to write and asks everyday when we are doing "school".  Her favorite subjects are Art and Bible
Lylah Rose is in pre-K, and though very shy is enjoying being in "school".  Lylah loves to write her name, and though she is still  behind in speech, she is making progress. 
They are having so much fun together.

My sweet Avarie wanted to match today and so they decided this was a great combo.  I agree!

Mobile blogging???

Apparently I can blog from my phone...oh you all are in for a treat now!

Someone is 8!!!

This sweet girl!
Some Favorites:
Food: Pizza
Game: DS
Show: Duck Dynasty
Color: Yellow
Book of the Bible: John
Thing to do: Ride Horses
Animal: Horses
Craft: Sewing
Best Friend: Family and Ella
When I grow up: I want to be a mommy.

This sweet girl is such a blessing in our lives.  She is quiet and obedient, loves to laugh and spend time with her family.  If she had the choice of what to do it would be to sit down and learn a new craft.  She loves babies and will one day be a great sitter.  She loves to color, to write, to do school and again, craft. She loves her brother and sister! She is a treasure and I am so very thankful to call her my daughter. 

I know that the Lord has great things planned for her life and I am so blessed to be able to actively take part in all He is doing through her.  

We celebrated with family during her actual birthday and have a trip to the American Girl Store in the works with her best friend.



We spent the afternoon at the Goddard's pool with Nanu, Dashel, Hudson and Pax. Our friend Stephanie joined us for a little bit. 
We went to dinner at Bob's Burger and Brew and then came home for some football, cake and presents.

This precious child is a gift! 

 We love you sweet girl.
Happy Birthday!



Calla Moon

We love us some Calla Moon.  
This sweet girl is a blessing in our lives and we love her little brother and her mama and daddy too. 
Avarie is smitten with Calla, and pretty much any baby that she can babysit. 
In a couple of years she will be super-sitter!
