Oh boy!... Catch up from September

Oh Boy...I am so far behind. It is my goal to get all caught up by new years so we will see how that goes. I have been a busy mommy. I tell people that its a crazy busy because I don't have a job outside of being a stay at home mom and we don't go out a ton. It's the every day busy of having 3 boys in three years. It's just starting to get easier but still the constant need of mommy to do this and that all the time is still ever present. I guess I better start all the way back in September....

Pre-school time!

Sensory bins are always a favorite!

We start with a scavenger hunt and end with construction trucks haha

Cutting practice...Jamin loves cutting out his verses and then taping them together to see if he is taller than the 'verse train'

haha Landin wanting to cut too

Gotta love the fine motor skills practice!

"l" is for lillipop play dough mats

Landin is showing off his sticker that he got at the end of school that day!

Week 2 of Preschool.... Letter T!

T is for teeth!

One of the best parts about homeschool...Eat and do school on the floor!

Jamin made a bracelet (fine motor practice)!

This was Jamin's idea to play twister...it worked out perfectly for our school week because T is for Twister!

T is also apparently for tent haha

I is for Ice! I froze a bunch of little animals in ice cubes one day for a fun activity during our week of the letter I! The boys enjoyed throwing them down and breaking them...it must be a boy thing lol.

Jamin gets a certificate at the end of each week that we put in a binder for review with his vocab cards. Each week he learns a verse, color, number, letter and sight word.

Playing a game (scavenger hunt with the boys). Dylin participated and helped me hide some of the picture cards lol

We always end our school day with a game to get some energy out!

Jamin's certificate, Easy reader and verse from week 1.

Our curriculum school board

This is what a week looks like for us...minus games and activities

Wonderful little company!

Yesterday I had the honor to watch Nathan. Nathan's parents are Matt and Sonya, friends from our small group at church. We had a blast all afternoon. Both the boys didn't take naps so I thought it was going to be a rough afternoon but I think they got energy from one another. I was nervous for dinner time too but they both did great. Both ate like champs...even ate their vegetables! I put these two to work right away lol Busy building something great! We went outside for a bit. It was hard to keep these two together in the front so we headed out back! Nathan loved exploring! Showing me a sweet rock that he found! Jamin exploring too! Wondering where he should go next. There are so many things to see in our backyard The boys looking at the rocks and weeds lol Nathan showing Jamin the treasure (weed) that he found! We played on the swings for a while too. One would be in this swing while I held the other in the other swing! (Sorry my...

4/20-4/24

I couldn't really think of a title for this post so I decided to just states the dates lol. Last week Jamin and I went to Focus on the Family with our friends Sonya and Nathan. I just got done reading Bringing Up Boys which was written by the Founder of Focus on the Family, Dr. James Dobson. Although Focus on the Family is a place I would hear about while growing up, I really didn't know a lot about it. My friend Sonya went to their Institute and so our trip planning began to go visit it! Group picture after taking the tour We can never get a great shot of the boys lol These were taken in their really awesome play area! Love this picture! Stroller parking!!! A smile that makes my heart melt everytime! Jamin and Nathan Mommy was way too big for this little boat lol Silly faces We also went to the zoo with Sonya and Nathan last week. Here are a few pictures! We even go the moose in the picture! Jamin got scared of the big hippo :( ...

Road Trip Part 5

Monday morning rolled around and we decided to make our way from Bozeman down to the West Yellowstone Entrance. The drive was amazingly gorgeous! Just driving in Harvey! We made it to West Yellowstone but were turned away from two different RV parks because of the amount of kids we had with us. This was the first time I have ever felt looked down upon and discriminated against. I literally had one man ripped a piece of paper out of my hands because he didn't even want to consider letting that many people stay in his park. I explained to him that they are all young and well behaved kids but apparently he has had way too many bad experiences with kids. We didn't let it get us down though. We finally found one that didn't have any concerns letting 4 adults come in with 5 kiddos. The place was actually brand new and the closest RV park to the west Yellowstone entrance so we really lucked out!!! After we got checked in we decided to go into the park ...
