my soccer boy

 Cullen is so excited! He is finally on a team! His first game went so well!  He is the tallest one out there. Cullen was very aggressive and he made the final score. They won and he was thrilled. I am so proud of him.

tonight's prayers

tonight Cullen said his prayers, "God please bless mommy, daddy, ava, ethan, fuzzy pants, all my friends may they have a good day tomorrow and people that don't know Jesus we need to tell them about Him."

so sweet

the things Cullen says.....

Cullen age 5.5


"I watched you sing Ava and it was beautiful."



Cullen looked under his arm and sang "I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man," when he thought he saw a hair.


We were in the car and I said, "The Lord always provides... then I paused for a second and Cullen spoke up and said, "awesomeness!"



At Aunt Nat-Nat's here are a few things I heard Cullen say to Hudson, "Man down!" when they feel in the mud.
"Be a man Hudson, jump."

First day of school 2014-2015

I can't believe it! Our fourth year homeschooling. Wow. If you would have told me I would have lasted this long I would have laughed. I know with my whole heart God gives me the strength and patience every day to teach my sweet children and I am so thankful. 

Cullen starts Kindergarten, Ava's in 5th and Ethan is in 3rd/4th.

We also started back with our classical conversation group at C3 and the kids were so excited!

They all got wonderful teachers. It is going to be a good year..

Ava starts tennis this year, basketball and playing the piano for the 4th year.

Ethan baseball and basketball, playing the drums for the 3rd year.

Cullen starts soccer!

it's a good day....

when you go to Granny and Papa's and you get to eat some yummy popsicles!

my sweet sister

God knew I would need someone in my life to support me, love me, shop with me, laugh with me, cry with me and love my children. My sweet sister, Rosemary.

making new friends

Ava was devastated when she found out her best friend Rayna was moving to FL.
I told her that God always has a plan for our lives. He would take care of Ava and He would place a new friend in her life. Over the summer she has become really good friends with sweet Isabelle from church. She is also homeschooled. I am excited to see how this friendship grows. God is so good.
