4H Animal Science Quiz Bowl/Skill-A-Thon 2016

Tracy / January 12, 2016

It has been MONTHS since I’ve had time to do much blogging. Paul’s new job position, the holidays, baby preparations, and LOTS of illness in our home in recent months have made it almost impossible to sit down to catch up on our family blog. I’m going to try and catch things up a little at a time. One of…

Today, In Our Home

Tracy / September 11, 2014

The end of summer is almost within reach. There was a breeze blowing outside earlier. Don’t get too excited. It was still 91^ out today. The calendar says it’s September. We’re thrilled to know cooler temperatures are just around the corner. The plants on my porch are looking droopy. They usually look ok until the temperatures start reaching the 90’s.…

This Summer…

Tracy / August 13, 2014

I guess I’m just becoming so sentimental as the years pass. This summer has been full, overflowing really, with so many good memories. It’s hard to count them all…the Lord has given us so many wonderful gifts. He’s filled our home and our lives with folks that treat us like their own families. We are blessed. I’m trying to catch…

Happy Birthday, Timothy!!

Tracy / February 21, 2014

And he’s 12!!! The Lord knew I needed an easy child the year he gave Timothy to me! His birthday is 02-20-02. 😀 He is the most easy-going, wonderful little guy. Joyful, almost always. My pregnancy with him was not so easy. In fact, after two miscarriages, and my pregnancy being threatened with yet another, I really wasn’t at all…

A quiet afternoon, little boys and LEGOS…

Timothy Cooking

He still loves to cook! I would love to help foster this love of cooking with some classes. I’ve looked for children’s classes in my area. In the past, I’ve found a few but they seemed “dumbed down”– not classes where he could really learn some new skills. Any ideas??

Helping with story time this week….

Donuts– WOW!

Tracy / February 26, 2013

Jessa and Timothy have been experimenting with donut recipes. Amongst a few other ingredients, lemon yogurt and almond milk made these donuts absolutely delicious. REALLY. ABSOLUTELY. DELICIOUS.

Cooking With the Boys

Tracy / November 30, 2011

Homeschooling isn’t all about books and essays. Most of the time, the best teaching happens as you go on, about your daily life. Since we began homeschooling (which feels like the beginning of time now!), we have tried to include the children in our day-to-day activities. Some of these things seem so routine, it’s hard to remember to include our…

Glow Bath

Tracy / October 4, 2011

Tonight’s fun….glow bath– we like to shake things up just a little from time to time. *smile* So, the ingredients for this night of fun…..a bathtub, a handful of glow sticks from the dollar store and a bunch of littles: This little person didn’t want to come out of the tub!

From the Mouths of Babes…

We’ve had horrible weather this afternoon. Timothy came into the office and said, “if we get blown away in the storm, then we know that it was God’s divine will”. Motherhood is just awesome!!! 🙂
