July 30th

We started school this week. This is our 14th year homeschooling. So far, so good. I have a lot of little ones doing school now. But it really has been good. I know this how? They keep telling me they are having fun. Yeah!! That's always good. I did a little math, thought I'd share.

This is my 14th year homeschooling...and if I continue through Kody's senior year...and assuming he's the last one...I will be 55 when he graduates and have spent 26 years total homeschooling! Seriously?

This year:

Kylene-Junior

Karlie- Freshman

Kevin- 8th

Kellie- 5th

Kendall- 4th

Kurtis- 4th

Kye- 3rd

Keegan- 2nd

Kassadie- 2nd

Kayna- 1st

Kellie & Kendall had a fun day making Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

Their new curriculum is so fun. How's that for school work? Well, it was only part of

their school today. Isn't it cute?

Mike made a cute fountain for the yard this week.It's really nice to sit

outside and listen to the water.

Thank you honey!!

Kayna's 6th Birthday

A new day......a new birthday!

Kayna's birthday is today.

She's a big 6 year old now.

We had her party and I made her birthday

dinner. What is a 6 year olds favorite meal?

corn dogs and tater tots.

She got Polly Pockets and case. A new Barbie

and these cute little Princess and the Frog dolls.

Too fun, love birthday time.

Kevin's 13th Birthday

Today Kevin is the big 13. This morning Kevin went to Starbucks with dad and got a coffee. Mike took him out to lunch and then they went shopping for a bike. He also spent his gift money that Granny and Mrs.Rossi sent him. I made his favorite dinner

(biscuits,gravy,eggs,sausage,hash browns).

Kevin is such a great son and I know he had a fun day.
