month in pics backwards!

Here are a couple of events we have enjoyed over the past month or so...

Storytime at the park eating fresh peaches - yum!

Waiting for the storyteller.

Silliness.

This was officially a month ago.  So imagine me four weeks larger!

Hanging out around the chimneia (sp?) after Gigi's (my mom) birthday dinner. 

Gigi and her girls at the celebration.  Payton is wearing some goofy hat that came with this "dress up" outfit that my mom brought her.

Many trips to the park.  The girls enjoyed writing Daddy a message in the mud and sending him a picture at work.

Watching ducks.

Oh yea, here are the newest girls in our home!! This is Charolette, she is a favorite, one of the ones we call the old ladies.

Here Eden and Payton are standing in the chick's coop holding them.  They are much bigger now and are out with the old ladies and teenagers.  But they are like little pets to E & P, they just get their chicken poop boots on in the morning and run out to play with the chickens.

Payton is holding another one here that is a favorite.  Her name is Sugar.  

Mother's day morning! Look at that sweetness.  Five official years of being a momma.

The kids got me a Borders gift card and a free night of browsing all by myself!

Payton at the last homeschool coop day.  They were studying Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel.  So they painted laying on their backs to get the whole experience .

Me at our first homeschool convention.  We LOVED it!  We went book crazy!  This was one of our favorites, "Backyard Homestead".  

Breakfast at the hotel the morning of the homeschool convention.  Delicious!

Clay is still not quite awake this early in the morning...need some coffee.

Our room, or at least our bed.  This was our first night away in another town in over two years!  It was wonderful...we thought about getting out on the town, but instead we 

 watched Cable (we don't have cable at home) and ate a pint of Ha-agendas ice cream!

Grace and Peace,
