• Jun. 23, 2008 - PreK and growing

Everyday is getting better yet in a "blink and a breath" your children are grown.  No more blinking nor breathing!  Here you will see our # 2 daughter graduate from pre k class.  She seemed to have a following of 2 boys who seemed to like her so much.  At such a young age....is that possible?  We are constantly asking; "is this really happening, already?"  We are truly blessed in all avenues; of loving families that support us with there loving ways, with friends that will truly last a lifetime, with the blessing touches that are instilled in our children by teachers.  here is # 2 child with orange flower dress on and one of the young boys that like her on the end in purple.  "how cute!"  They are praying! Here is what we wanted to share with you for just this year...                    "In a blink of the eye..."

• May. 24, 2008 - Backing up in time....

Previously my precious little girls; that are on loan to me from our great God above, decided that they wanted to cut their hair.  I have a friend that has recovered from Breast Cancer, with her losing her hair and the children seeing it...they understand the meaning of wearing a wig.  There has been a dear family that are our friends since we lived here; that we have come to consider "our" family!  We love them dearly and with our hectic lives we try to get together when we can..which is hard to find the time lately...but their daughter did get her hair cut and sent it to the "Locks of Love." So there you have it...... So in light of their beautiful "long" hair my girls decided that they wanted to  get  their hair done and be just like "their good friend!"  Only two of them were allowed to do it.  My littlest one did not get her hair cut for cancer patients she just got her "trimmed."  It is so weird how in one hair cut your children can look so much older.....say increasing up to "4 years in age!" You judge; here are the before and after pictures.... we sent the hair to "Pantene Beautiful Lengths".

• May. 19, 2008 - Spring Program

Here is the picture "before" leaving the house!  They are ready.... Spring Program is such a joy to watch!  Our homeschool group has a various group of children of all ages.  When the program is nearer it is a time for the children to show off their talents; by showing off those things that they enjoy, we as parents get to see the many talents and growing of each child!  This is truly a reflection of parenting and educating all together!  It is such a joy and a blessing, that can take your breathe away.  The many teachers that teach our children on the one day a week program are inspirations for "us" as mothers to move ahead full steam "with confidence" in teaching our children.  To see what they have learned in a big picture; up on stage, is worth everything!  "Many thanks to all of the mothers that have taught, will teach and have had any positive influence on my children.  You truly give me the motivation and gumption to keep up my job!"  Thank you all! The littlest one is technically not suppose to be in class; however she has a love for socializing and playing with others that she fits right in with the 3 year olds.  So here are some pictures of her "showing off" this year.   Enjoy!   The little one who is singing her tune.... Middle child is showing her stuff; with the sun, moon and stars ...creation song.. Oldest one who is singing proudly about turning that frown upside down to beat the devil..... Just singing away normally "toothless is such a beautiful look!"

• May. 12, 2008 - continuation of birthday party

We ended up staying in with all the kiddos in the basement.  We had previously made treasure maps on brown bags and looped yarn through a hole punch for the children to carry.  Thank goodness; we are blessed to be in a GREAT co-op group.  Two of the girls were over to the house helping me out.  It was a "blessing" because I was getting overwhelmed and could not think of anything to do for prizes.  The two girls stepped in and took charge of all of the little ones!  'Whew!  They just reassured me that the children had a fun time even though it rained buckets the whole evening!  The birthday girl had NO complaints, she was so excited that all of her friends came over!  Here she is enjoying it all: We have been so blessed with the three little ones; on loan to us from our gracious father above, that we love to enjoy each and every minute!  The time seems to slip past so quickly .... truly like the cliche' ..."in the blink of an eye!" make sure that you are letting your children know just how much you "love them!"

• May. 11, 2008 - Birthday Parites

Parties are very fun and enjoyable; however, when you make plans to have a fantastic scavenger/treasure hunt and the weather does not cooperate ...well lets just say that we end up with this: I feel so very bad that the kiddo's could not run around and play the planned treasure hunt.  My husband and I worked very hard coming up with the creative ways to keep them going from one place to the other.  Thankfully all of the children had a great time regardless!  I am thankful that we have a basement committed to the children's learning and play area where all of these kids could enjoy the evening.   The theme of the party was insects, bugs and gross "stuff!"  The girls have always had a frilly party and this time they wanted to invite some boys.  So we had a great time making the cake...much to my husband dismay ...he was amazed with the end product!  When are the husbands ever going to believe that us woman can pull off almost anything! ;)  With the help of the good Lord and many of prayers anything is possible. Picture of the cake with everything edible except for some flies and cockroaches.  Put your sun glasses on so that you do not get too sick!  It was very tasty! close up of the bugs eating at the brown mounds: Okay, I realize that it is really gruesome but having all girls...doing this cake was...hmm...awesome! The next post will be a continue of my middle ones, "best birthday party!" As she stated.
