About Me


I began this blog to create an on going yearbook of our homeschool chronicling our highs & lows with photo's and journaling. Through the past two years I have really enjoyed getting to know so many homeschool moms and their families. Being a Homeschoolblogger has been both fun and encouraging. Please make yourself comfortable and enjoy getting to know us and how we learn at home!

Summer Boredom

Saturday, June 20, 2009

Jesse is "officially" bored with summer.... already!??
He told me he would like to start his Language Arts/grammar curriculum for grade 4 as soon as it arrives at our home!

We just celebrated his 9th birthday on Tuesday!  We were able to spend some time at the park and he got an "Eyeclops" for his gift.  Cool present but it only keeps him occupied for so long...



I'm thinking hard about some type of summer project for him - how do you keep your 9 year busy doing something worthwhile?

Kayla's Art Work

Wednesday, April 29, 2009


Last weekend, Kayla entered two of her charcoal drawings into a regional homeschooler's art show and won a second place ribbon!  These are pictures of her art:













Great Job, Kayla! 


(Those are photographs of her work so they aren't showing up very well!)

He's In the Clouds!

Tuesday, April 28, 2009



Recently Joshua (age 4) and I had a "conversation" that I want to remember.  He has been asking many questions about where God is and just the other day told me "My brain can't understand that God is everywhere." (that's OK, many adults can't accept that fact either!)

Our conversation on the way to the dentist office....


Joshua is looking out the car window--

"Mom, is God in the clouds?"

"Yes, Joshua,  remember I told you that he is everywhere?"

"Is he on my button?"

"He is if he wants to be"

"Is he in the carpet?"

"He's everywhere."

"Is He ON the clouds?"

"God is all around us but you can't see him because he's not a person like us."

-------------- Long Pause ------------

Joshua (still looking out the window) -  "Well,  I think the clouds are beautiful! "





I think your beautiful Joshua! I'm blessed to be your mom.
