Daddy Time

 
Our children are have the best daddy ever.
He is careful to spend one on one time with each of them.
The time may vary in time and expense but each one is quality time together.
 
 
He and big sis doing barn chores early one Saturday morning.
 

 
Look how at ease she is!  Totally in her element!
Her dream is to work with horses!


Taking in baseball with brother.

He tucks each child in 99% of the time. 
They all look forward to these precious moments together.

Last Week at Preschool

 
More fun to end preschool!
Lil sis' class had a carnival style party with games, facing painting and yummy treats.
I was able to sneak away and join the fun!!!


 
Not sure why but I adore these pictures.  Proof of how much fun she has!!


 
Her last day of the three year old class and last day at Little Lambs Learning Center.
She loves everything about preschool.
She has had an amazing experience and grown into quite the little evangelist!
Next year she will join momma in a new adventure that will allow the children to finally be all on one campus.  She will be in the first class of Little Knights.
We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for our new adventure!
Our family has been blessed by LLLC seven years and will always look back fondly on these years and all our children have learned while there.

Third Grade

 
 
 
Big sis finished third grade with straight A's and perfect attendance.
It is hard to put into words how she has grown this year....academically, emotionally and physically.
She is a lovely young lady!  She is smart, caring and has insightful conversations. 
I am amazed each day by her sweet spirit.
She loves the Lord, her family, horses and all things crafty!
 
 
 


This pictures makes a momma and wife proud.
Our hearts are full!

Gymnastics Show

 
Lil sis has completed another year of gymnastics!
She just loves to go and it is super good for her!!!
Today was their show.  Families were allowed in the gym and the class got to show us all their abilities.  She is so active but very obedient to authority!!


 
These two were refreshing their skills from their days here.

Family Time

 
 
Today we traveled to visit family.
Daddy's cousin and his new bride have a wonderful property with shade, porches, swings and horses!
Big sis was so excited to meet and hoped to ride them!
 
 
Brother was not as sure but decided to give it a try.
 

 
Lia sis was thrilled to do what she has seen big sis do so many times!

 
Then big sis got her wish.  She was able to ride a beautiful horse and had some freedom.
She took right to it and would have stayed all day!!

 

 
Sweet how natural she is with these strong creatures.

 
We enjoyed a yummy picnic and

 
time with our cousins!

 
Big sis was in her happy place all day.  You could sit on any one of the porches (or one couch!) and see the pastures.  I think she would gladly move there!!



After a fun filled day of riding, eating, visiting, playing we said goodbyes...
 


and had one last swing.
What a fun filled day!!!

Special Celebration

As first grade comes to a close, brother's teacher planned an in class awards day.
This was a special time for each student.
 
 
Mrs. Madsen was a perfect fit for brother.
He had A's in all subjects!


 
Each special teacher choose one boy and one girl from his class to recognize.  He got the art award.

 
He is such an amazing child.  He is smart, helpful, giving and an all around sports fan!
So exciting to see how God is growing him into a young man.
We are so proud to be his parents!!
