Homeschooling Life

One of the BEST decisions we have made. Everyone is doing great and I enjoy the extra time with them and the structure/peace it brings to our house. 

NOW if I could get them to sleep in past 6:00 (girls) and not have Nephi come into my bed before 5:00 reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to start our day....it may be a little better.

Who gave me all these early risers??!! 

Smile Time

Its Fall....Well Sorta

So, I guess it is FALL here in Lake Havasu because it is now down to 90s....

We got out everyone's bikes and went for our first bike ride as six. It was Perfect.

Lots of sweat, water, bumps and bruises. Ended with washing bikes and each-other.

I was especially excited to have Levi home with us this weekend. Recharge for me.

Keeps on Growing....

The Many Faces of Cabella Lou 

'Bella' or 'Bell' as Coraline says! 

Bounce House Party!

We ended up renting a bounce house/slip and slide for Coraline's birthday. 

The kids and I had LOADS of fun before Levi got home to enjoy it.

We also had a cookout with all our babysitting coop friends from church. 

Sunday without Dad

Levi has been working crazy hours lately to get this first farm finished by Sept 27th - 

he pretty much works 4 in the morning till at least 6 most nights. 

I used to think going to church for three hours with everyone by myself and teaching was scary... 

but unfortunately I/we have figured it out. 

Around the House

Found this in Nephi's handwriting book - look he has a bellybutton! 

Sidewalk Art

No one else likes the lake at 7:00 in the morning. 

How Coraline drives around town.

Coop Day! I taught a group of kids about birds and we made bird masks.

Being TWO. Mad her snacks were not sitting next to Daddy's seat. Oh and that he wasn't home to eat them with her. 

Nephi's Writing - You Did It Yeah....well sorta. 

Dr Appt this week - Ended with a little upset. Coraline had to have her blood taken four times. He lead level is 12.5 and it should be under 5. More details soon....
