Homeschool PE

We're always looking for ways to add PE to our days! We luckily found a great homeschooling group here. They meet regularly in the CYS building and use their gym facilities each week. We finally got the chance to attend and the kids had a blast! Jess tried shooting basketballs while hula hooping... She's actually pretty good! (She has her dad's coordination!) Miah was getting pretty good at shooting... just not sinking the ball! Jillian spent most of the time chasing the balls and pretty much just running everywhere. They got to interact with other great kids and it really was a fun day. I really like the K12 program and things are going really well. I am actually enjoying having my kids at home and I never thought I would say that!
Enjoy the pics!

Gorgeous!

Of course, I'm a little partial... But my girls are so gorgeous!! And they're both getting so big! I never said they could grow up!! Oh well. They will stay forever young in pictures!

Pictures from My Cell

I ran across these photos today and had to laugh! Chris somehow downloaded the pictures on my cell phone to my computer and there are some totally AWESOME ones! The ones of Jilli just made me laugh and I had to share them!! If they don't put you in a good mood on a Monday morning... I don't know what will!


Jilli's self portrait... Very nice!

She took this one as well.... waiting in the Doctor's office! Nice toes!

Here's a goodie! Love the hand signs... She was copying her big brother on that one but the sunglasses and tiara are all her!

Her best bud has a full set of Disney Princess apparel with WIGS and SHOES and GLOVES!!! Everything! It makes her soooooo happy to play dress-ups there! Just check out her grin! My little princess! LOVE it!

Riverwalk

We went to the Riverwalk on Saturday to snap a few photos of the kids. We saw turtles and ducks and fish... The smell was a little unpleasant... but that's just what ya get here! It was a lot of fun! Afterwards we stopped at our Favorite Mellow Mushroom for homemade Hummus and their new Potato Pie Pizza - THE BOMB!!! Fantasmagorical! They've taken a baked potato with all the toppings and transferred it to a pizza!!! MMMMMMM! Well, if you ever want to taste it... just stop on in!! Meanwhile, here are some of my favorite pics!

First Day of School - at Home!

After a lot of discussion and prayers, we decided that homeschooling the kids was our best option this year. It has actually been a great experience so far and I'm glad we chose to do this! The first few days were really difficult as we tried to adjust to the K12 program and having an actual schedule... But now we are doing well and I think it's been a great decision! I can already see how Jessica and Jeremiah are getting more confident in their abilities and how this program is going to have them ahead of their peers when they re-enter public schools next year (after we hopefully move FAR away from here!!)
I did grab some pictures of them on the first day though! So here you are...

Jessi - 6th Grade!!

Jeremiah - 4th Grade

Our little Homeschool nook - It's a must to have things VERY organized!! :)
