Mason had an awesome Kindergarten year! He worked very hard and he is super proud of his work! Hudson and Mason were great flash card buddies and Hudson was a big help to Mason ( Aubree too)! I could have not got through this year with our God's DAILY ( actually minute by minute) help and guidence nor could  I not have done it with out my kids happy hearts. The best part for me is there is no end of the year emotional melt down on my part becuase they will still be homeschooled with me again next year!!!!!!!!!!!! If you know how emotional I am at the end of school years you will know what a relieve this really is for me!!!! And probably my hubby too!

Ready for 1st grade! All done with his K work books!

Mason's end of the year gift  was a big boy Adventure Bible! He is loving reading it!!!

Hudson loves his pocket Proverbs ans Psalms bible.

 Belle is doing what she loves to do.... WRITE!!!! Hudson can not stand to write but is amazing in Math, this girl..... well Math is so not her favorite but she would write and make up stories all day long!! I love watching them grow in so many different ways!

This is me the teaching momma on my last day of instruction for this school year!!! There were many great days this year. Many challenging days as well. We are so looking forward to a nice long break from the school room! Hudson just has a few more pages to do and we are out for summer.

Cant believe that it has been 1 year since we started the move to Knoxville!! Time went by FAST! I still have things to hang up here at the house, I need to get busy! Its been a wild ride. I miss Cathedral of Praise and all the wonderful friends we made there. I miss my kids in Cathedral Academy! I think that this summer is going to awesome! God has placed some sweet families in our path here. We are going to live it up and enjoy the time we have left here in Knoxville! The kids do not know this but as a gift to them, for an awesome awesome awesome school year and being so flexible with the move and working so hard at homeschooling, we are giving them Dollywood passes!!! We will have a super FUN summer and I am so excited and thankful!

 Today is Take your child to work day for Hudson's school work! We were super excited that Matt was in town and that he could take Monkey. They are going to do a store visit and do some work in the office!!! Hudson has been so excited about this day for weeks. He brought a notebook to record the day and he will have to write a paper on his day and also on the Target company! Hudson is Matt's number one fan in EVERYTHING Matt does.

high five friday

1) Enjoying the spring everyday this week here in Knoxville! Its so beautiful.

2) Seeing the Lorax with these silly kiddos was a blast!! We did a whole unit on the Lorax and learned a lot. Can't wait to get this on dvd! So funny:)

3) We got a opprtunity to go behind the penguin encloser at the zoo! It was the most amazing thing we have ever done!!! The kids were so surprised and Mason jumped up in my arms and told me I was the best momma ever!!!!!!

This is Gpsy and Aubree!!

All the kids :) and Jello, the African penguin!!!

Moose and Jello!!! He loved it!! He really wanted to feed her fish, but Jello did not want anything to do with it:(

If we could I would have bought the kids a penguin for a pet!!! What an HIGH FIVE day this was:)!!!!

4)This week was Ericks bday celebration !!!! Yummu gfree brownies

5) Aubree LOVES her daddy so much and just can not get enough of him when he is home!!! He has been gone these past two weeks. It has been hard on her and there has been lots of crying. You can see the pure joy on her face being held in between daddys arms!!

High Five for Friday

1) this week we started soccer!! Best part is that it's Aubree's first season!!! How cute is she! She is so excited and she has some crazy skills. She tested as the top player for her age out of the whole league! WOW. Having two brothers who LOVE soccer have taught her a whole lot!

2) this week we learned about birds, so now these two are determined to catch one for a pet! They tried for hours. It was really funny to watch!!!!

3) this is Erick for those of you who have not met him. He is Aubree penguin and we DO NOT leave the house without him. EVER. Aubree is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo in love with penguins and this week at church she told her teacher that I was the best mom in the world and I was going to buy her a real life penguin. I think she has seen Mr. Popper's penguins way to may times. Her teacher was so sweet and said to her it might be better to put some money in a wishing well instead, so guess where she wants to go??? The mall! She knows that there is wishing fountain there! Oh how I love this girl. If I could I would try to find a way to get her a real life penguin!!!

4) Erick's birthday is, according to Aubree, March 21 and he would really like his Happy Feet Two movie, a Mobile, a new crib, and a new robe. SO we settled for pile night we would get Happy Feet Two. The whole time all three kids kept "talking to Erick" telling him to watch himself in the movie. They also all taught him to dance the happy feet way!!!CUTE CUTE CUTE!

5) Spending Friday with my three ring circus at the zoo. It was a beautiful day!!! We had so much fun looking at the red pandas! They are super cool and really snuggle soft. Mason got to brush some of the animals hair! He was cloud NINE. I am so calling it now that this little boy will be a vet when he grows up!!We had a ton of laughs and started out the weekend full of Fun.
High Five!!!! Happy Friday!
