Alyssa's 12th year

For Alyssa's school this year we are focasing on many,many, MANY projects that should spark a creative nerve in her. She is making a basic prject to see if it may be something she wants to persue as a craft. She has done basketweaving, ceramics, candle macking, candlewicking, cross stiching, photography, and more. It also incorperates baking, cooking, child care, cleaning, budgiting, grocery shoping, party and trip planning and a whole host of other homemaking skills. As well as praying, journaling, LOTS of bible memerizing, tons of reading biographys and books about flowers nature exc.. She is learning about so many different things. She is Making a doll with Grandma right now witch has been her biggest challange so far. Her dear friend Emily is doing a lot of the projects with her. Here are the girls making Candels together. I will post many more photos of her projects soon.

This dress was ordered off E-bay for Carolynn's birthday but due to the fact it was coming from China it didnt come in the mail until June 3rd?? But what fun it was for her to get it in the mail and put it on and Dance and Spin and LOVE it!!

The girl has been snapping thousands of photos ever since.

Tommy is 6!! Carra is 4!!

We had a nice low key birthday party with family. It was so great to have Aunt joce and Bailey here with us for the party. The kids had a great time with gifts, cake, and the birthday blessing. I dont know where the time goes. Every time my children have a birthday I think to myself how fast things change how short this time is that I have with my little blessings and how much I desire to be the Mother that God wants me to be before they are all grown up and raising babies of there own.

City Blocks

Tommy got a huge box (3oo pieces) of City Blocks for Christmas. They look like flat piecies of wood all the same. But when you add some imagination they are SOOO fun. The boys (Daddy Too) have spent hours creating the greatiest stuff I wish I had a photo of everything but here are a few sampals.



All the blocks look just like this and you can make so many fun things it is amazing!!
