We are moving....

....back to homeschool blogger that is. Gotcha! I've not been over the moon excited with blogspot so I am heading back to my old stompin' ground. When it is up and running I will post the new addy. So be patient and I'll get back to ya'll!

Hugs! Rebecca

Wild Hair!

Jameson loves to show of his "crazy" hair every morning. He runs around to show everyone before he gets it wet. We put it up at night to help with the tangles and this is what we get the next morning. Amazingly it is tangle free even though it doesn't look like it!!!!

He is so funny!

My baby dolly...

Mendell and Jameson were playing house the other day. They were just so cute I couldn't pass up sharing with everyone. I mean how selfish would that be to hog all this cuteness?

What a great mommy getting her baby to sleep so sweetly.

Kids are priceless!

Princess Mendell

There is no denying what a precious thing Mendell is. She has such a loving heart and sweet spirit. Her smile is just so contagious!

She loves trying on her "Princess" dresses.

What a precious blessing!

Princess Bailey

Today we had some time on our hands so we took pictures. It was so much fun! We did hair and tried on different outfits. This picture of Bailey just turned out so beautiful I had to post it. Bailey has such an amazing heart and sweetness mixed in with a huge load of impishness! She is truly an amazing gift from God.

Hurricane Shoals

We love going to Hurricane Shoals! We were more then willing to go when Landon requested we spend his birthday there. Since we homeschool we had the whole park pretty much to ourselves. The tubing is great! The shoals are so slippery and the water so strong that only the older boys and Tim could take the younger guys tubing. Braden was so cool to take Carlisle tubing. You can see that Carlisle loved it!

Braden also took Johnston down. They got dumped in a bad spot, but Johnston was tall enough to stay above the water. The kids spent at least 4 hours tubing the shoals.

I love seeing them having such a great time.

Mendell taking a break. She was so adventurous this trip. She has become a water bug!

Skylar getting ready to tube the shoals.

Jameson just being a goof!

Because of all the rain this year the water was running nice and high. Last summer due to the lack of rain the water was so muddy and low we only went once.

Karsten and Johnston taking a few minutes to sun themselves!

Tim and the some of the kids decided to cross the shoals up stream. They were very slippery. Tim was the only one to make it across dry. He went back for Skylar and helped her cross.

Tim is such an awesome man. He has so much confidence and such an adventurous spirit.

I love this picture of Skylar trying to keep her balance!

Carlisle enjoyed the water so much. He spent every second he could in it.

I love this picture of Landon and PJ.

Kendrick with his always smiling face! I am so proud of him for how far he has come these past few months. When he first came to live with us he was deathly afraid of water, but we can't keep him out of it now.

Shadow

Shadow is one weird puppy. He loves to lay in the kiddie pool that was put in his kennel. This poor pool only lasted one day with Shadow, but he loved it! I guess we will have to buy him a hard plastic pool that he can't destroy. I have never seen a dog that loves to just lounge in the water as much as he does. He is so cute!
