More from us!!

We have been busy... Busy being sick, busy sanitizing, and busy raising kiddos who love the Lord.... Amidst the craziness of life, I managed to catch a few shots of the joy that the kiddos bring!!!

Last week was "H" week, so we were chalk full of Healthy snacks, Hotwheels, Hats, Heaven, Happiness, and such... Our memory verse was Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother." Michael enjoyed making his Hat out of his verse, cutting out Hearts, and making a House out of his H...His favorite project was making stick mom and dad.... We were able to start the lesson earlier that morning, so daddy was able to help Michael out with the project... He really liked that! He is so smart and really seems to enjoy the quiet time with mommy... I am really not certain who enjoys it more...

This week was "I." We made an Iguana, practiced numbers, read TONS of "I" books, and learned about Isaiah... He seems to like bible time the best and gets excited when we get to do our hands on lessons... We studied full armor of God and even made helmets of salvation to wear during our "battle." In the pictures you can see the belts, shields (cookie sheets,) swords (light sabers,) shoes, and breast plates (shirts). After we made our helmets, the battle was on... They were "fighting" and saying all of their past memory verses... This weeks verse was Phillipians 4:13 " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Mixed in with all the school pictures you'll find family tickle time... Kayden loves this time with daddy! He is so tough and after a few minutes of tickling he always wants to team up with daddy and get Michael and Lily... I think he figures out early that Daddy always wins... Kayden is doing so well in school... He is quickly picking up reading and loves math.. He is great with numbers and, of course, loves recess... Last week we got a great report from his teacher that he was really helpful to the new boy in school.. It doesnt surprise me, since he is always so approachable and he always makes himself available... I just love him....

Lily is pure girl, wrapped in a tough little shell... She can wrestle with the best of them, can destroy a house in 3 seconds, and knows how to push every button... She is definately a handful, but Mike and I are so grateful for her energy! She keeps us on our toes, and always has us laughing... She is such a doll!!! Every moment spent with Lily is a new memory... She doesnt do anything twice, always keeps us guessing, and can make her eyes water at the drop of a hat!!! She has the whole family wrapped around her tiny little finger; brothers, dog, and all!!!

Life her is never dull...

Hope you enjoy the pictures!!!
