Waaaahhhh

I've used up all my space for pictures on this sight, what to do, what to do???

I don't want to pay any more money, sooooo I might get a new blog, I'll let you know.

I guess not everything can be free. You know that is something I should of checked on before, I guess, or would I have known to look for that.

Anyway, little problem, I need to take care of.

Cold Stone, Placer Nature Center & Cousins

Here's some things that have been going on around our home, or should I say, away from our home lately...
Cold Stone Creamery Tour, one of the yummiest tours you can enjoy...

Placer Nature Center, time in God's creation...
A little time with the cousins too...
Fun week indeed, and yes we still got our homeschooling done!!!
Of course this is one benefit of homeschooling, getting to experience all that God has to offer!

Reading

What reading does to the mind...
...it takes the child and leads him up mighty mountains
or down paths that will guide him.
What a blessing that my children have grown to love God's word,
and so many forms of reading,
what a joy it is to watch them run to their special places
and dive into the words that will lead them
in places that they've only dreamed about.

In the Making

I really enjoy putting slide shows together
for our homeschooling co-op "TLC".
What a joy it is to see everyone watching and enjoying
past memories shared before us.
The music, the pictures, the process getting there always thrills me.
It's a lot of work,
but how rewarding it is to see the finished product enjoyed.
It's also time with special people in my lives,
my husband, my children and friends.
I'm praying the fall TLC slide show
will bless many this year as well.
Here's a few photo's I'm considering.

Caillen's William Wallace Sword


Caillen is enjoying his new William Wallace Sword that he received through Vision Forum this week. He has even knighted our cat Sir Kristoff.


Here's a bit of history:
A traditional two-handed broadsword, Sir William Wallace’s trusty blade was as imposing in battle as the hero who wielded it. With this weapon, Wallace fought for the honor of Scotland, his beloved homeland. Wallace would die a martyr, but his unflinching courage would spur his countrymen onto ultimate victory at Bannockburn.

wow, such talent to capture so much emotion in her characters.

~Here are just a few, enjoy!~

Bling

What fun last night was at Mom's Night Out
hosted by Sherry Harms.

The theme was birthdays!

We had the most seasoned homeschooling mom :)

and the youngest mom (who was home schooled herself)

blow the candles out for everyone!

Afterwards we enjoyed some yummy chocolate moose cake or lemon cake with tea and coffee and of course great conversation and fellowship.


After finishing the yummies we gathered in the living room.


There we had a number and what ever it was we had to tell something about when we were that age, I received 12.

I was in Millington, Tennessee at that age, and it took me awhile to figure out what I was going to share, but with the encouragement of my neighbor (thank you Sandy) she helped me remember, and a flood of memories came flowing in. No I'm not going to share the memory, I don't want my parent's finding out!!! :)

We all learned much about each other, but you'll hear no repeating of stories on this blog about any of them, wow some Mom's have some very interesting stories, quite funny ones too.
After we shared our story we got to pick out some BLING (flashy jewelry and accessories) which was our birthday gifts from Jenny Wells (Thanks Jenny), however it's that funny game where if someone else wants what you have well... you know how that goes, so on the game continued through the night.

You know everyone needs a little BLING, I ended up bringing home what I treasured most, a beautiful dark purple hand purse, although it did made it through many hands and a kind person giving it back (thanks Van)!

Yvette even made it, what a pleasure to have her there, smiling as usual! :)

Look who has now made it to 2 Mom's Night Outs,

"The one and only CP", what a lucky young man.

At the end of the night there was one mystery,

which Mom went home without her shoes! :)

Yes an evening I'll never forget, wonderful memories made with wonderful friends!
