Joshua's 12!!!








Posted by Picasa


On April 6th my BABY BOY turned 12! Happy Birthday Joshua! Joshua loves lego's and we do not have a lego store or legoland for miles so we packed up the car and headed to Houston! It was a 12 year-old boy's dream come true! It was EXACTLY what he wanted...they had this wall of lego's that you could pick and choose from to get the exact piece you want or in his case NEED. I have more birthday pictures taken that morning opening all of the sweet cards and gifts sent from family and friends but at this point he is nearly a teenager and did not want them posted! Oh no, here we go!

It's a Dell!

I am so thankful to be posting right now! Maybe some didn't even notice we were gone! Mac users will be laughing at this post because this would never happen to them! I think that guy from Ed has a commercial about it too. A week ago Monday my computer just died, just like that, it made a funny sound and went black. After sitting in shock for a few minutes I called Dell. This company runs a tight ship and I couldn't be more impressed. We did not buy the extended warranty when we purchased the computer so they could not send a technician for free but what they will do is let you send it to them in a box they pay for and ship. The whole process including sending me a new powercord to test first, took 7 days and did not cost me a dime! It was the motherboard and they did whatever it is they do to replace it. I could not believe the service that comes just for owning a Dell! We have had the computer for almost 3 years and have not put a dime into it beyond the actual purc...

Doing Great!

Well we made it through our first 1/2 week with no major catastrophes! Just a lot of learning going on and not nearly enough mommy to go around! We are doing lots of review which is a plus for me because it made it a little less obvious that I am winging it in many areas! I am great with doing...abc, 123 in this order check check check...but the style and curriculum and rigor of what we use call for much more! So this weekend I did a little more leg work to have more available. Specifically the printables for the kids penmanship using Abby's Spell to Write and Read as a guide and scripture for the boys. I also dug a lot deeper and was able to tie the World History book I am using in with the US History book and the next hurdle is to find the appropriate Literature for each child corresponding to whatever we are studying. The internet is amazing!!! I had already mapped out the math for the year which is very easy when the lessons are designed to be taught 1 per day. Logic is als...

It's a 410!

Caleb finally got to go out and shoot his 410 shotgun. Yes, HIS 410 shotgun that he saved up for! It is a scary thing for a mommy but daddy handles all of our gun issues. I was just getting comfortable with the BB guns. Maybe I should do a weapon rundown. 1 shotgun, 2 BB guns, 1 Bow & arrow, arrows, 6 slingshots, 2 giant Nerf super shooter thingys, 3 nerf guns......who would have thought this would happen in my house? Anyways, Caleb had such a great time shooting clay targets. He and daddy went with Chip out to a friends 150 acre ranch and his 12 year old son hopped in the truck and drove them to this spot.....yes I said 12 years old.
