Abby is the one in pink :)

This morning we got up and went to Bethany at Silver Lake for the homeschool band to play for the residents. This is kind of their practice concert. They have another on Sunday. They did very well and the residents seemed to enjoy it. I didn't get many pictures, everytime Abby saw me with the camera she tried to hide behind her music stand! The rest of the day was spent on school work and catching up laundry. Jacob is reviewing punctuation. Today we were working on apostrophe's. You know singular possessive, plural and plural possessive..... He says why did he have to know this? One thing he tosses around wanting to do is become a police officer, I told him you have to write reports. He says doesn't the computer do that, well yes, but you have to input the info! LOL I thought it was cute!

Made spaghetti for dinner. No leftovers! I'm going to have to start doubling what I cook. Jacob can eat alot! I have no idea where it all goes, his metabolism is fast!

Be blessed!

Tuesday, May 27th

So tuesday we took advantage and slept in. Well everyone but daddy, he had to go back to work! We got up, worked on some school and then left to go to Abby's book club. It was a beautiful day. Not much else to report, just a pretty regular day and I forgot to take pics.

Be blessed!

catching up Memorial weekend

Friday afternoon, Abby had an appt. with the opthamologist. He says she needs another surgery on both eyes to correct the over correction from the surgery when she was 4. He is not a pediatric opthamologist so he has referred her out to one in Kirkland. We have an appt. there on June 3rd. She is taking the news amazingly well. Of course he hinted that she will probably be able to lose the eyeglasses afterwards! There is some motivation. We are hoping to have this completed before we move. There is no pediatric opthamologist in Boise. Unbelievable! The closest are Spokane or Salt Lake City!

We left saturday for camping with my brother and his family. This was our first official camping trip. We went once before but stayed in a cabin, so everyone says it doesn't count! LOL I was very unsure, but we did have alot of fun. There were things we could do different, but overall had a good time. The rain stayed away, just one quick shower sunday evening. And then it was raining when we got up monday morning. Otherwise it was beautiful, perfect weather. We will definitely do this again. :) If you have military connections you definitely have to try out Jim Creek Recreation in Arlington where we camped. It is perfect!

We came home early monday. My dad called and invited us to the Cruisin' Colby car show. I knew Jacob would love this so we went. I'm amazed at all Jacob knows about cars! See the pics at the top of the post.

Be blessed!

Oops!

Just Some Pics for Now

Abby flying her kite.





Jacob, kite flying.






Playing flyers up with the frisbee. I thought this pic was funny! That's my brother up in the air, the frisbee went right through his hands and his wife was right there to catch it. Paul was throwing it(not in the pic). You can also see Abby, my nephew, and Jacob.







Niece resting in the grass. She wouldn't show me her face...






My niece fishing. I love her braids.







My nephew playing. He reminds me so much of my brother at that age(almost 8!)





Abby fishing.





Jacob fishing.





Paul fishing.





Proof that yes Becki slept on the ground in a tent! The air mattress decided to spring a leak the first night, so I got to really feel ever rock underneath!














































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Went camping this weekend. I have pics to post. I'll try to write more soon.

Birthdays Birthdays

Okay, so my dad has his eyes closed! It's the only pic I got tonight of him and Cheryl.

My brother, Jason, my Sil, Wendy, and my sister Jessica.

Jacob, my nephew, Abby, my niece. Playing Nintendo at Grandpa's house.

So now I have to figure out how to move pictures around in the post. I'm sure it's something simple and I'll stumble upon it soon!

Today was a pretty busy day. We got a full days worth of school in. Should finish up in a couple of weeks. Yippeeee. Just did some chores, worked on the weekend chores since we'll be gone camping this weekend. Balanced the checkbook, corrected a weeks worth of math.

Paul came home a little early and took Jacob up to the cemetary where the Boy Scouts were putting out flags on all the graves of the veterans for Memorial day. I forgot to give Paul the camera, so I don't have pics of that. :(

After that we went to my dad's house for a bbq for his bday and his wife, Cheryl's birthday. Yes they share the same birthday, same day, same month, same year! LOL I forget which one is older though!

I wanted to download the pics and get them posted. I'm going to make one more post with a few more pictures from tonight and then I've got to go help Paul in the garage. He's making a list of things we still need for camping.

Be blessed!
