In January, Koen will be part of the youth program at church. That totally blows my mind! He is growing up so fast. He is such a kind boy with a desire to do what is right. He has an amazing imagination and keeps Rhys up for hours at nice hearing out his imaginary world.
An active way to practice skip counting! (I love that they all did it with a bag of chips in their hands, hehe)
Someone special had a birthday at the end of April! Nathan and I took him out to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. Yep, a cheese curd burger with an order of cheese curds for an appetizer! Cheese overload but hey, it was his birthday! For his actual birthday, he had to work but he loves…
Here is the copy work for this upcoming week. Hope you are having a beautiful Sabbath!
Awhile back I struggled to find handwriting sheets for my youngest three based on scriptures that go with Come Follow Me. So I decided I would just make my own. Well, today, I had the thought that I should share them in case other people are looking too! I can’t guarantee I will get them…
For our foreign Fridays we decided that each family would focus on one category each week – 1-Food, 2-People and Culture, 3- Land, Animals and Landmarks. Week One we studied Australia. It was a pretty crazy week so we didn’t do a whole lot of study, lol. But we were in charge of food so…
When you first think of Egypt, what pops into your mind? For me, the first thought was – Pyramids! I have some Lego fans in my household so I suggested they build a Lego pyramid. For two straight days now Rhys has created all different sizes and colors. He has even started adding people to…
I love these pictures because they show some of Chloe’s personality! Chloe’ can make you smile even when everything is falling apart and you just want to cry. She has mindfully sought to gain the gift of charity and has definitely been blessed with it. Chloe’ is fun, funny, laughs at herself, smart, talented and…
Months ago we bought supplies to make pancake art. Nathan is amazing at art so I figured this was right up his alley. So we finally stirred up all the colors and made pancake art! We were a little wise though and did it for dinner rather than breakfast. Pancakes for eleven people takes a…
I am very excited to announce that Brooklynn moved on to the next round in her micro fiction challenge. There were over 60 groups of 100 submissions and the top 20 of each group moved on. Brooklynn not only moved on but actually placed NINTH out of 100!! It was about 11:30 pm and we…
Since quarantine changed up the usual way we do baptisms we decided to do something super memorable. Rhys chose to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and it happened on his birthday and it was performed in our friends swimming pool. Where has the time gone? When did…
Years ago I bought Galloping the Globe to help with geography. I didn’t use it much and it has been taking up space on the shelf since. I pulled it out this week and printed off map pages and coloring pages for the flags of the countries Amy and Dan have been. Too bad I…
Nothing more fun than making homemade volcanoes!
Mara is taking a Forensic Science class and her latest assignment was to create a crime scene and collect evidence. It was quite a transformation of the living room! (Rhys was a rather small Dr. Fisher but he was the most willing to lay on the floor and play dead.) She said in the future…
