Six Flags Homeschool Day!

It's almost as good as Christmas!  Well, at least to do a trip to the amusement park and have tons of kids kind of great day!  It was even better because we spent the day with friends.  Not only that, but friends who have little people, and lots and lots of people.  I'm pretty sure we were our own mass moving through the park.  Everyone had a great day!  Happy fun times at 6 Flags!

Fun and Games

I love when the kids play together!  Little moments of heaven!  Even if it is a short moment it's worth enjoying!

New Beds

The first of the outside projects has begun!  We reclaimed our large flowerbeds out behind the pool.  I'm not sure what to plant here, but it sure is nice to have the weeds gone!

Skate!

Homeschool Skate day is always fun!  It's even more fun with friends!  The cousins and some friends from co-op came to skate.  The best part is how worn out they are after skating :)

Timber!

Our house has a lot of trees.  The trees were not managed very well by their previous owner.  We have tried to trim up or take down some, but there seems to always be more to do.  Our neighbor had his trees trimmed and after talking with their guy and getting a quote we had him out for a day of work to remove and trim our trees. Our large trees really needed it too!  It was an adventure to see the extra trees leave!  

This is from the live oak on the west side of the house. 

 It looks so good now! 

Good-bye pear tree!

The house looks so open now!

More trees in the back by the pool to say good-bye to!

The front yard flower beds got all of the bushes cleared out!   

Another one bites the dust :)

The large oak in the back looks so good now!

Look at all of that mulch!  

The lonely stump that grew between our neighbor's fence and our side yard. 

It feels like we can really make progress on our yard projects now that the trees are cleared out.

Birthday Bug!

Our little Bug is 7 today!  Happy birthday to our sweet girl!  Lorna is continuing to learn and grow.  School seems to be getting easier for her and she has been learning cartwheels and hand stands.  We can't believe how fast our baby girl is growing up!  Hope this year is fabulous Little Love Bug!

The best part of birthdays are presents... right?!
Maybe her faces were the best part!  I love seeing my kids so excited and happy :). 

 Make a wish!
