Our morning routine

Most mornings while Mark is taking the boys to school Tennyson and I begin our day with a nice walk around the farm checking on all the animals.  You would think it was Spring time with all the babies born this past week this past week.  We usually begin by feeding and watering the tortoises.  Then we check on the bunnies and pigs. Then we make our way to see if any snakes have been born.  On this special day we walked out and Tennyson found new baby chicks.  She was so excited.  It was born after the mother left the nest with the other chicks so Tennyson was the first to see it.  It would cheep and cheep if she put it down.

Here are the kids watching the birth of snakes before they went for school.

Asher's 1st Day of Kindergarten

August 8, 2011
Asher began his first day of Kindergarten.  He had some reservations about leaving home but afterwards was so excited he said "I had so much fun I can hardly tell you about it."  He really likes his teacher. He said Braxton gave him permission to say "Hi Braxton" whenever he saw him.   Eight days into school after picking up the boys he told me that his favorite part of school that day was that he got to see Braxton in the gym and he said "Hi Braxton".  How cute! Here are a few images from his first day of school.

July fun!

Daddy, the kids and I had a fun but hot afternoon picking blueberries. Unfortunately, our fun was cut short due to me having an ovarian cyst to rupture.

Asher was such a trooper picking in the hot sun! He enjoyed picking and eating but picked a gallon himself!

The kids and I enjoyed making some butterscotch cookies for some friends of our that are serving our wonderful country in Kuwait.

Braxton (age 8) learned how to cut grass this Summer and has been a big help to his mommy!

I caught a picture of Asher and Tennyson peeking through the tree watching Braxton cut grass.

Easter

After worship we came home and we all took a much needed nap. We had a fun egg hunt. It turns out that our pigs like to hunt eggs to. They mastered opening them and helping themselves to a sweet treat. Then we had supper at Waffle House with my parents and Mr. Michael Askew.

Soccer Game Three

Hard work pays off. The children on our team performed a great game which resulted in a win for them 8-0!  The kids were focused and followed through on their kicks and backed-up their teammates.  It was fun for us to watch them have fun playing.

This storm front began moving in during our game but the clouds were just majestic!
