Photobomber alert!

First Snowstorm

We had our first major storm of the fall/winter on October 10 and 11th.

 I drove the pickup, Rex (besides taking pictures) was the calf whisperer, and Blase had the rough job of chasing the calf on the 4-wheeler for over an hour.

 Good thing we got Boba in when we did.  He was much happier near the barn.

 The kids love snow.

Well, not Blase as he shovels snow...and it gets old fast!

Rex's 13th Birthday

Rex turned 13 on June 27th.  We had a little party for him.  I think the cake was the best all year!

Happy birthday, kid!

First Day of School 2018

On Sept. 3rd we started our 2018-2019 School Year.

 The best way to start a school year is to go to Mass. 

We got up early, got chores finished, and got to Mass on time.

First day picture with Jesus....best. year. ever.

 Blase - 13th grade, Rex - 8th grade, Brech - 4th grade, Brigid and Kiara - PreK-K, 

Gianna - 2nd grade, Cormac - 8th grade, Stephen - 11th grade

 I gave all the kids a thank you card for their hard work over the summer and a bit of encouragement for the upcoming school year.

 I also gave each one of the them a Bible verse to carry throughout the year with them.

 Each of the kids also got a collection of school supplies of their own.

Happy school year kids!!!

Rex's 12th Birthday

 Rex was super excited to be 12.  He's already such a responsible and helpful kid that I don't believe he is only 12.  He has got to be 18 already.....right??

 Star Wars Risk

'Cause his momma loves him.

 These were the coolest thing I have ever found.  They are dry erase posters with grids and different scenes on them for making up your own games.  He is always drawing and making new games to play.  I was hoping this would be a useful tool for him.  We still need to come up with an easy way to keep them from curling up.

 Underwear

'Cause his mom and dad have a sense of humor.

 Only a homeschooling mom gives her son an educational game based on the history time period we are going to study during the upcoming school year.

 Lucky kid!

I couldn't be more proud of this guy!

Love you, Rex...now and on your birthday.
