Room

Kel asked me to post this a while ago...sorry it took me so long. I'd like to put an artificial tree or something on the left of the tv to hide cords (any suggestions??). Missing you all! LJLJ

Back to School

We had a Back to School Bash here at the house last night. Jake was so excited that he asked for medicine to help him sleep so morning would come faster. Luke finally admitted to being excited, too! Love, Julie. P.S. Loved the beach photos!

Fun Times

We were blessed with a sunny day yesterday, and had lots of fun both at the beach, and playing around in the house!! Wish you were here, LJLJ!!!!!!!

First day of classes at Schola

Mason and Mallory had their first ever academic classes outside of our house. They are taking Spanish and Science at a "school for homeschoolers." Mason will take math out at a different location starting next week, and they both are taking a writing class from a lady at church. It sounds like they are taking a bunch outside of here, but we still have a big load that I am teaching. This is going to be a heavy academic year for them. Let's hope we all survive it!

I did have a few sad moments today while they were gone. The classes are from 9:00-1:15. I really missed them!! I know that God will certainly have to show me His plan for my days when M & M are gone. I LOVE my life now and will greatly miss my kids when they are off to college! I know that all of this sounds sappy, but it was my first taste of what's to come in the future.

First Day of School

We are starting our first day of school right now. Mason is working away on his math and Mallory is writing her spelling words.

Slumber Party

The girls had their first "real" slumber party (not with cousins, they've had lots of those!).

"T" turns 6!!!

Sweet Thomas had a wonderful 6th birthday, thanks to our wonderful Father in heaven for His blessing of our creative, imaginative"energetic" boy:) Thanks to all of my precious sisters for your phone calls and gifts. We kept it simple, spending the day together (Corb took the day off:)

and just invited neighborhood kids to share the birthday brownie- outside of course:)

I have NO IDEA what happened to my camera, but when I downloaded the pictures, it seems they were taken on the lowest quality and they stayed tiny, as in 1 inch by 1 inch! I can't seem to enlarge them without ruining the quality!! I'm going to try to include.....we'll see! Pics are: Indiana Jones on a horse (action figure) on the brownie, Indiana Jones birthday banner, birthday doughnut- sorry about the microscopic size- bummer!!!!

I love you all very, very much~ Deb
