September 2012 Update

This month we took a weekend trip down to Boise.  Abby still had some science to do for homeschool so we took her and all her cousins to the MK Nature center.

The kids had fun playing with their cousins and celebrating Kayla's second birthday.

Jared did a beautiful job tiling our entry way.
Jared also started tiling the bathroom upstairs.  He planned on finishing this project before Thomas was born, however Thomas came a little earlier than expected. 


Nathan started preschool this month.  I'm doing a co-op with 5 other moms who take turns doing preschool at their houses. I got to teach first.

Nathan loves pre-school and wants to do it everyday!

Nathan was excited to open a few birthday presents from Grandma while we were down in Boise.
He loved getting his own bathrobe, just like his big sisters.
He was also excited to get a monkey to go on his big boy monkey bed.
Sorry these next pictures didn't turn out too well, but here is a picture of the kids had fun putting sprinkles on cookies with grandma.
They also enjoyed the trampoline.
Here's Abby on her first day of Homelink classes. She takes classes for 6 hours a week with other homeschoolers.  The classes she chose are: Math Facts, Legos, American Girl, Arts and Crafts, Sports Fun, and the Wide World of Science.
The kids doing archery with Jared in the backyard.
Abby really enjoys studying history at home with the Story of the World series.  For each chapter she does a coloring page, map page and review questions, but her favorite part are the activity ideas.  Here she is making a roman pillar out of sugar cookie dough.
In this picture she is holding a Celtic warrior battle axe that she made.
Nathan does puzzles and plays with toys while Abby does her homeschooling.  Maddy likes to listen to Abby's lessons or spend the time coloring.
