Blog Slacker

Yes I know I am such a slacker when it comes to my blog. But right now I have no time at all….I am spending the morning catching up on my laptop. I havent been on my laptop since the last time I blogged…early June.

I am soooo spoiled by my Iphone!!! If you dont have one..you need one!! They are fabulous!!!

Between…family visiting, Vbs, camping, camp, camp, camp and more camp…Mission trip to Mexico..I am having zero time on the computer to blog !! So I am just going to catch up when I can.

The next thing I know it will be time for school to start….I will have to blog about all my planning and fabulous ideas I am having for next year!!! WoohoO!! I love homeschooling!!!

Stay tuned for more fabulous blogs coming your way!:):)

Camye’s Dance Recital

Camyes ballet class danced to Aurora’s wedding from Snow White, it was so beautiful!!! Camye being her sweet little self!!

Camye posing beautifully before we very quickly changed into her next costume!!

Camye and her friend Paige, they both go to co-op together!!

Camye and Hannah starting the dance by being on the lookout for “aliens”.

This was cutest story the girls told ….Camye had so much fun with this dance!!


The scariest part of the show..where Paige runs and jumps on Camyes back!!!

The final- it was breaktakingly beautiful!!!!

And now my baby is 5!!!

And now my baby boy (cant read this yet- so I can still call him this on here!!!) turned 5 years old on May 26th!!!

He had a Burger King birthday party with several of his friends gathered around.

Below is a really gift box…yes that was a webkinz wrapped in an awesome pirate box!! Paul is crazy about Super Marios Yoshi…he wanted Yoshi everything for his birthday!! And Yoshis are hard to find.

However I did find the backpack, DS game organizer, DS case for his new DS and stuffed and plastic figure. He was thrilled.:)

Trip to the Good Zoo

The kids and I went on an awesome field trip with our homeschool 4H club to the Olgebay Good Zoo. It was for Blakes Herpetology class but all the kids go to enjoy the field trip. I sometimes cant believe what Chloe does for a good photo-op!!!

Paul was so interested in this class, he did drop a snake on the floor one time because he was so nervous!!

Camye loves to play at the Imagine Vet Hospital. She loves to take care of animals.

Nathan Barkey, Paul and his fave webkinz Chocolate Bar and Blake watching the snakes and teachers!!


Amelia, Ashlee and Camye.

Blake was having a blast with his friends!!


Paul posing in front of the lillies..I need to get down a little earlier next year because they were all about gone.!!!

Thanksgiving Thursday!!

Its been awhile since I have done a Thanksgiving Thursday. SInce I got my Iphone…the internet is so much faster than my laptop with dial up!!!:( Althought i prefer to be on a bigger computer.

1. I am so thankful that we are done homeschooling for the year. I love the summer. I try to not plan very many things (although life has a fabulous way of doing that for me) so the kids can just be kids and play.
2. I am so thankful for having a such a wonderful husband and kids, who gave me a fabulous Mothers Day/Birthday weekend.
3. I am thankful for being in bible class. I had been teaching puppets on Wednesday nights and every other Sunday night. So I was missing 2 bible studies. Let me tell you that I am now in Sunday morning ladies class, Sunday night bible study, Tuesday morning bible study and Wednesday night ladies bible class. Let me tell you that I can soooo tell the difference. It is a fabulous difference!!!
4. I am thankful for not having to work. I have several friends that have to work and several that work and still homeschool. Housekeeping and Homeschooling are the only 2 jobs I could handle at this time.
Have a great week!:)
