Kindergarten Science Review

For our Kindergarten year I went with Usborne for science Here are the books we used - 

we loved the science activities volume two and inquisikids DVD , with these you can do a project once a week for the entire school year , and Riley loves doing projects , so she had a lot of fun with these , along with these I used the Internet linked children's encyclopedia - 

we really liked this book but I did have to alter it for my needs because it has teachings of evolution in it and of course your typical millions of years ago , change that to a little over 6,000 and its OK . Riley loved the Internet links , we didn't do every one of them but the ones we did do was fun , sometimes it was games and instructional video's . Here are a few more books we read for science that I bought , this does not include books we read from the library - 

This was a really easy curriculum , I am going with Usborne for science again this year but will be adding some more to it such as the Kent Hovind creation videos and I also found these on amazon - 

These are also by Kent Hovind and we love learning about Dinosaurs .
 

I LOVE HOMESCHOOLING !

I can't believe my first year of homeschooling is almost over , it's went by so fast . I have really enjoyed it , Riley loves school so much that when were not doing lessons she plays school with Leah . She has done so good this year , Dallas couldn't believe what all we have done this year , she said all she can remember doing in kindergarten was ABC's and counting to 100 , she said they didn't do science or science projects . I am already excited about next year and trying to decide on curriculum , for those out there who are not sure about homeschooling you don't know what you are missing , I love being with my kids and love the fact that I get to be a part of their education and I get to decide what they are taught . One of the main things I learned this year is that days don't always go as planned and it's OK , even though I like for things to run like clock work , a lot of days you may have to do lessons here and there and sometimes at night , but it's not the end of the world when things go wrong , I think another thing I realized is that I really love teaching .

OUR GALLON GUY

Deuteronomy 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children , and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house , and when thou walkest by the way , and when thou liest down , and when thou risest up .

Happy Weekend

Spent the weekend playing with the kids , had so much fun :) we went trail riding and camping , (the kids most favorite thing to play) we picked dandelions , played a board game and went for a walk . I love spending time with my kids . Hope everyone else had a great weekend to .

Our Easter 2013

We have had a wonderful weekend , this is the first holiday we have had since Thanksgiving and not been sick . Yesterday we had nice weather so we went ahead and done our outdoor stuff . We spent the day at mom and dads house , they love to color eggs so I let them do that with the kids this year . We all had so much fun . The kiddos loved their Easter baskets , I think Riley and Leah's favorite thing from their basket was a sticky octopus from the Dollar Tree , they had a ball throwing them on mama's front door and seeing which one would come down first , Leah just kept jumping up and down yelling mine! mine! mine! I think she wanted us to know which one was hers . Job got little baby rings in his basket , of course he wanted what everyone else got instead  Dallas is on her way to the beach for spring break , one of her friends from school invited her . I miss her already , don't know what I will do when she goes to collage . We are not going to have a spring break , we are going to use that time to catch up . Hope everyone had a nice weekend . Some pics ....

 

Cabin Fever ?

This has seemed like the longest winter , it took me a good 2 months to completely recover from that head and chest flu , it was the worst and I took walking pneumonia on top of it . Not long after that we got the stomach flu and after that I was in bed again with a pinched nerve . Since then we have also had colds . I don't ever remember so many different things going around at one time , which makes me think they are releasing this stuff into the air , but I won't go into that right now . We are just trying to catch up on everything , we are really behind from all that sickness , I just thank God we got through it all and spring is around the corner :) here are a few recent pics of the kids . My camera is not working and looks like I need a new one so until then my pictures may not look so good .

After The Tribulation

Watched this movie last night , I can't say enough about this film , everybody needs to watch it . Love how they put the gospel at the end , if your not saved please watch this to the very end .
