Life with to boys

Bathrooms! need I say more. Those of you that have boys know what I am talking about. Does it ever end? How one earth did the pee get back there?

I love being the mom of 2 boys. It is so much fun. ... Fun and never ending adventure. I wake up every day with a plan and God is quick to show me it is His plans not mine.

We started home schooling a little early this year. Our home school year does not start until September 8th. The kids are excited! Stickers pens, markers, paint, stamps, you name it they can not wait to use it. It is all new and shiney. Over the summer the wore the old ones out

Caden is most excited about math and science and reading his new books.

Owen is so excited about learning to read

I have learned one thing...well many things.. but for today

You can have a clean house when the kids move out.

My house is a mess because I took the time to play today.

Please pray for my family

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
Oh you rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way
Oh, we hopelessly lost the way

You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne

Cuddling

How wonderful the little things in life, cuddling. I am thankful I am home schooling. We do not have to wake up to an alarm. We have time to just cuddle. Today Owen just wanted to cuddle for a little while. Thankfully we are not tied down. Sure schedules are important, but so is taking time to stop and smell the roses, or answer sweet questions form a curious 3 year old. Or giving kisses to is cuddle friend, and listen to his sweet knock, knock jokes.

My boys

My boys.

Wow they are getting so big so fast. Caden will be 6. 6! this year. I can believe how fast it has gone by. Caden loves reading. he read any thing he can get his hands on. He also love legos.

Owen. Owen is 3. He will be 4 in October. Owen loves tools and his big brother. Owen will find and stash any tools he can get his hands on. When it is time to put batteries in something he gets very excited, because you need a screwdriver to take the battery cover off. Owen is starting to come out of his shell. He love to tell his brother knock knock jokes.

Looking Forward To a New Year

We are looking forward to a new year. We are praying that God would equip us for what ever the new year brings. The boys are getting so big. Caden will be 6 in March and Owen will be 4 in October. The years are flying by. I am thankful that I get to be on lifes highway with my wonderful Husband Tim. He is patiten and kind with his wife, who can be an enotionl rollercoaster. I am thankful God has allowed us to be married. I pray that we will surive our first year of homeschooling. Good by 2008

Home School

Home school.

Do you use a charter or go on your own. That is the question.
I have been home schooling for 1 year now. Well I should say I have been officially home schooling for a 1 year now. We are using a charter. It is nice to have the budget of a charter school Although I don't like having to answer to a CT. I would rather do what I want. Let cook some cookies and call that science and math. Let go to the library and call the community helpers and English. You really have now way of measuring that. I measure it by the memories we are creating. I have 2 boys and they love exploring our yard with magnify glasses. What better way to learn than to let it happen naturally. That is my pondering thought for today.
