Our homeschooling and home building story.
Frog week! We have tadpoles and we have chrysalis's. Two of the chrysalis's hatched today. Cas knew they were getting close and he spent an hour this morning staring at them. He ate his breakfast, brushed his hair and his teeth and got changed watching the chrysalis...walked away for 5 minutes and...one hatched. He was... Continue Reading →
It's been butterfly week! Unfortunately I've been slacking on taking pictures. We had gorgeous weather last week and got outside by the levee and caught tadpoles and water-bugs and threw rocks in the water and had a good time. Over the weekend, the weather turned cold and wet again and we huddled inside. Our caterpillars... Continue Reading →
So the reason for our quick trip to Florida and Epcot fun was because Ari's PBE team had made it to Division level (the last level). And division testing was held in Florida. Again, for PBE there is a chosen book of the Bible for the year and teams have to study/memorize that book so... Continue Reading →
Next we've been doing r for rock and j for jewel. We did some sorting of rocks and learned about birthstones and looked at a video of the late queen of England to see some royal jewels.

We crammed Sense of the Resurrection into two days instead of our normal two weeks. That meant we had... Continue Reading →
For the second weekend of Spring Break we went to Black Butte Lake and camped with my family. It was my dads birthday and my sister wanted to test out her new teardrop trailer before her baby is born this summer. It was chilly but we had a great time. My brother brought up a... Continue Reading →
Although we book-ended our spring break with travel, we did get some work done at our house as well. Our contractors came and got a bunch more of the trim done and patched the holes in the walls created by the hvac guy. Our trim is almost finished! We got several Red Hot Pokers planted...

For our last day in LA we went to a fun aquarium store and then found a nice playground to burn energy before our flight back. All of the aquarium stores in our area have closed so it was fun to find one still open and it had quite a few unique offerings. It had... Continue Reading →
Ari is in a Pathfinder club and within that club she is on our Pathfinder Bible Experience team. This year they had to memorize the Gospel of John in the NKJV. Ari was given chapters 18-21. Her club had passed the Area and Conference tests and so we went down to LA for the Union... Continue Reading →
