'Baby' Boy's B-day By: Sis Age:8

(PHOTO ABOVE: Baby Boy in Court Jester outfit when he was 1!)

'Baby' Boy's b-day has been fun! We actually had the cake and presents the day before his real b-day because my soccer would have made it later to do his cake and presents and we also celebrated at Grandma's house too first and so that was fun! From Uncle Adam's friend Jess, (Miss Jess) he got a car sticker book which he went crazy over and has gone through two times loving it! :)(Thank you Miss Jess!) And he also got a car which is one of those little ones that you move by your feet that is a fire truck and makes fire truck sounds! He LOVES it and has really enjoyed it! (Thanks Adam, Grandma and Grandpa!) And also from Grandma and Grandpa Piercey (and Uncle Ron too) he got a playdough set that has a little playdough knife that looks like a pocket knife with playdough tools! (Thank you Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Ron!)

We celebrated his birthday as a family and Buddy gave Baby Boy a bow, Mom and Dad gave him Elmo Slippers, Papoose gave him Pixar Cars SPEED underpants, and I gave him a Elmo stuffed animal!

And actually before that we had a Triple Chocolate Cake!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

He had a fun b-day!

Saturday Fun

Sis had another soccer game today and scored a goal. It was a proud moment for us to see and extra special since Grandma surprised us by showing up. It was a gorgeous, crisp fall morning - perfect weather for outdoor activities.

Later I took off on a walk with Krista. We have so much in common this year since she is homeschooling her brood of youngsters. I enjoy her companionship so much...

The day ended with a family trip to our local apple orchard. It's the very same orchard my family frequented when I was growing up. It sure brings back a flood of memories when I see my own children squealing with delight over the rope swing my brother and I loved. The kids each picked a bag of apples, and we shared some pumpkin and chocolate fudge. I couldn't resist picking the most luscious peach. It cost a dollar but was worth every bite (especially since I shared it with the kids).

We hope to have a working camera before long; there were so many pictures I wanted to take today. Guess that means we'll have to make another trip to the orchard before the snow falls...

My Classes in The Lighthouse Co Op By: Sis Age:8

We have recently started at thing called The Lighthouse Co Op. It is something for homeschoolers where we go every Monday, and that is our day off school :) They are fun classes :)

Buddy and I at first go to Music Class. Our teacher is Mrs. Chagmon. She is nice :) And we are learning how to read music and will have a concert at the end and somebody might play the piano and somebody else might play the flute! We are also learning in music class how to play chimes which has been fun! A O is called a whole note and a d is called a half note and a d with a dark part in the circle is called a quarter note, and those are all the notes that we have studied so far! We have also learned how to play the chimes and we have learned some fun songs! :) :) :)

Then my next class is Art and my teacher is Mrs. Couser. She is nice also :) We have a big portfolio with charcoal, an easel, a drawing pad, a art journal, a hard pencil, a soft pencil, a sketch book, and a pencil sharpener, pastels of almost any color, a notebook, history of art papers along with pictures of cave paintings, we have a ton of art stuff! We in our art journal draw a picture a day, in our sketch book we sketch things, with our drawing pad we draw things :) :) :)

My next class is Destination Imagination! My teacher is Mrs. Lommen. She is nice also! :) And we act out things one of our challenges was to think of three animals pretend to be them, and have them argue something that would mean that they would be president, we had 2 minutes to choose 3 animals, make up words for them and 4 minutes to act it out, we managed almost! We also will have challenges against other teams, and also the very best teams go to Tennessee where all over the world teams come to compete! :) :) :)

Then we have Lunch! :) :) :)


My next Class is Cooking and Crafts Throughout The USA, where we have baked, frosting and mini apple pie, and will be baking cookies this Monday! We have also learned about Compass Roses, and we have also learned about these states and capitols:
