Our homeschooling and home building story.
Our three local Adventist schools came together to do one fall festival again this year. There were 3 bounce houses of various kinds, a climbing wall, a dunk tank, various carnival games and lots of yummy food. Cas and Ari started out in the bounce houses for probably a solid hour. Then they moved on... Continue Reading →
Ari is a member of our local Pathfinder club this year. The Pathfinder Camporee was held at Leoni Meadows and we had a great time! Because it's rebuilding after the Caldor fire we were in sort of primitive conditions. Normal camping for me but primitive for a camporee. Over 600 Pathfinders attended...but there were only...

We had a day where Ari had a fever and mostly wanted to nap throughout the day. To let her nap, I made sure she had her Gabb watch and then took Cas out for 2 outings and checked in with Ari in between. The first outing was a trip to the park. We played... Continue Reading →
Our wonderful friends from Heavens to Betty really know how to put together a care package. They sent Ari and Cas a nice one to help them get their school year off to a great start. It had the cutest little bus box, snacks, pencils, handwritten cards and little embroidery samplers. When you get the... Continue Reading →

Went down to Sacramento to celebrate New Years with family. We played games, escaped from 2 escape rooms, went bowling and exchanged some presents. Ari got a kids smart watch so she can call and text those I’ve set as her contacts, hopefully a good next step in her tech education. There was also a... Continue Reading →
We had a wonderful early Christmas visiting family in Ashland! We played our instruments for church, went sledding and rock climbing, played games, and Santa obliged us by delivering our presents a week early! Good times! How was your Christmas?
Our Christmas school got sidelined this year by the flu. First Ari fell sick for 3 days, then Cas for 1 (he had had the flu shot), one glorious day when no one was sick (and Cas earned his blue ribbon at swimmin)...then Caleb was sick for 5 and just before he was better I... Continue Reading →
