Sorry it has been a while since I have written but it has but one CRAZY, BUSY, HECTIC month!!! I help with a ministry at church that keeps up with all the pregnant ladies in our church and 4 of mine gave birth within 2 weeks! Plus I also teach Sunday School, had all the things for Brady's end of year stuff at preschool, plus his T-ball, my niece is graduating and she made it to State for pole vaulting& we gave her a graduation party, Rylan has had a double ear infection for about 2 months but FINALLY got tubes...and now my friend's boys are staying with us while she is in Ukraine....and this is all on top of my daily duties as wife and mommy!!! Now please dont think I am complaining...I love my life...I just need to take a breath! haha! I havent been this busy in a while but at least all of this busyness is due to happy things and not bad things! :) I choose to see the silver lining! The only dark cloud is my eating :( I had been doing awesome but with all this going on I dropped the ball and gained 4 lbs back :( I was VERY self-loathing and beating myself up, but decided to start being more self-loveing and give myself a break. Below are some pictures from most of the events of May...and to think the month is only half begun LOL :)
These are from Britany's Baccalaurette Service @ Church. Look how pretty she is!
These are of Brady's End of Year Party & School Program...yes I know...he is a doll! :)
The 1st pic is w/Mrs. Donna, Brady's teacher, the 2nd is w/Mrs. Jayna, the director, who Brady greated every morning pretending to be asleep in the car as she tried to get him out & then "scared" her :)

As may have noticed or read...I will be home schooling my kiddos :) This was something I had NEVER planned to do, but around August/September I really felt the Lord leading me in this direction. I have always taught Brady :) reading, coloring, shapes, colors etc...like any parent who wants to teach their young child, but probably a bit more :) Brady is like a sponge and LOVES to learn and have anyone's attention and to show what he can do!
I really don't see it as this burden or hard thing to do...we have so much fun! Yesterday we practiced writing & tracing, identifying things as big, bigger, biggest, small smaller, smallest, long & short (you get the picture:) ) We also practiced a few sight words. Brady has been able to spell about 15 or so words for quite so time now...sometimes he forgets but quickly remembers with a lil help. HE taught himself the letter sounds from our LeapFrog magnet thing!
I just try new things and see where he takes it and what likes or doesnt...but we ALWAYS have fun! I love that he's a lil nerd like me! HAHAHA!!!! It certainly doesn't feel like work, it's more like play!
Today I bought these lil $1 plants from Target to plant with Brady. We have strawberries, tomatoes, a tree, & sunflowers. After we plant them in the lil container they came in, we will eventually have to put them int he ground...which SCARES me cause I have NEVER planted anything! So this will be a learning experience for us both! I'll post pics as soon as this project is finished or midway :)
Have a blessd day! OH......if you homeschool or teach...please feel free to point me to web sites you love and activites you think Brady and I will like! Thanks!
