JANUARY??? Ok, it’s actually JULY!!!
What’s my most used statement on my blogs??? WE ARE SO BUSY!!!!
As I sit down to update my blog I have to look back at pictures & homeschool records to see what kept us so busy in January! So here’s what we did…
We spent all of the Fall Semester of school in the Book of Genesis. We did learn A LOT but I thought we’d never finish that book! So when we resumed school in Jan. we FINALLY finished Genesis and started the Book of Exodus.
For Christmas, Santa brought us all tickets to MONSTER JAM!!! That’s monster trucks for those that don’t know. So in January we loaded up & went to San Antonio to see Monster Jam!! The boys have watched it on TV so they decided they would make home made signs to take with them like they see other people do. It was VERY FUN!!! None of us had ever been in a coliseum SO BIG!!! Wow!! We had front row seats and we were all in awe!! THANK YOU SANTA!!
Our favorite friends The Hughes Family met us there & we spent one night & one day with them!! It was SO GOOD to see them again!!! We took the kids to The Alamo (Again! I don’t think they remembered the 1st time we took them.) and the Riverwalk. We ate at Magic Time Machine & had loads of fun!! We were sad to see them go! We haven’t seen them since!
My BABY, S got baptized in January!!! So I’m ready for the trumpet to sound ANYTIME!!
Inauguration day was a very sad day for me!!! As sad as I was we still got up to watch all the formalities on TV. We watched the whole thing then we headed to Midland to see President & Laura Bush at their WELCOME HOME rally!! We did not have tickets & didn’t expect to get in to the event. We would’ve been happy seeing Air Force One fly over us. But we got tickets and we were so excited!!!! So we got in to the event & hung out for 5 HOURS waiting for him to arrive!! It wasn’t too bad though. When they got to Midland they flew right over our heads! Then finally they got to downtown where we were. His speech was AWESOME! I cried a lot that day! He was a WONDERFUL President that restored INTEGRITY to the White House!!! It was so nice to see both of them with the weight of the world OFF their shoulders! We love George W. Bush!!!
As our new President took office we all became more involved in politics than ever before. NM elected several liberal politicians and I felt a heavy burden to stand up for our beliefs!!! The boys & I spent countless hours on the phone calling our state representatives and senators! We made an impact THIS YEAR but we’ll have to do it all again next year. The boys were amazed at all the phone calls and emails we made. I feel that was a great thing for them to experience. Their generation has got to be taught to stand up for what’s RIGHT!!!
At the end of January we continued with Lea County Children’s Choir and violin lessons for another semester.
So that’s what kept us busy in JANUARY!!
