Week 17 Jake Wins!

Top Banana, Week 15

Marta got to bring home Weekend Monkey at the beginning of Week 15.

Weekend Monkey got to do everything with Marta from Fri-Mon morning. 

We took pictures of Marta with Weekend Monkey for the class journal.

Weekend Monkey had such a great time with Marta!   He was happy to learn how to play Candyland.



Shane got a new hat on Fri and he decided he wanted everyone else to be apart of the hat happiness.



Happy Mother's Day, Week 16

First time in a sprinkler at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  Joy wouldn't take off the flip flops.

Yes, they needed an umbrella to play with!



I was so thankful that it was a perfect temperature and full of sun for water play!

I love this picture....all 5 of my kids in one place sitting for a moment!

Look at Shane's face....I made lemonade, but it was weak.  This made me laugh!

The adults got the table in the kitchen.

Thank you so much to Miss Rose and Dottie for giving us puppy love!  Dottie stole Joy's heart.

Joy loves little dogs, but not big ones.  Dottie is the perfect size according to Joy.



Flowers by Jake (he loves to take pictures, especially of flowers)





This is my favorite one...the yellow one.

Jake and Joy really seemed to understand what Mother's Day was about.   We had a wonderful family gathering on Sun.  I got to be with my own mother and Tom got to see his mother.

We are very blessed to have 2 great mothers!

Week 17


May 20th, 2013 -  JAKE WINS 3rd Place! 

He won 3rd place in his age group.  We are so proud of him. 
The picture had to have water in it.
He loves art!  I'm so grateful to his art teacher who entered his picture!
Thank you Miss Jennifer!

He also got $50.00 for 3rd place!  He decided he'd put $10.00 in his wallet & save the rest.
I pray that God will use his talent for His Kingdom!

Thank you to all who continue to pray for us.  The dynamics of our family are starting to mesh together now.  Joy and Marta are getting along much better.

We're a short time away from summer.  The plans now are to swim in the mornings and do school work after lunch.  If you'd like to go to the beach, please call us! 

Many blessings,
