School work

This is some of the hand writing that Parker has done over the last six weeks.

He has now learned several Capital and lower case letters .

I am so very proud of him. I am trying to improve my own handwriting with him!

All of the pages you see here represent the work that Parker does each day!! On top of this he Has seat work to copy off the chalkboard. The last few days He has Written out Gen1:1, his spelling list and other random words we are working on for reading!! He also has to read to Daddy and brothers!

This is Parker next spelling list!!

This is some of Parker's work from the last six weeks.

Which By the way he got all A's, and no I don't give him any slack!

This is some of his speed drills. Each day he does one section.

He gets 3min. each day!! But it never takes him the full 3 min.

Once a week he has a full test for everything we've covered up to that point.

This is some of his math work book he is learning to add different coins to get the grand total. I read him the story problem and then he figures our the answer. and then he has to find greatest and least.

Carson being Carson he is such a free spirit. Everyday

Well, I still have pain in the left kidney. Sometimes it all but stops me in my tracks. I laughed as I told mom, that if I was asking for pain meds I thinks they would tell me, it's in my head and would think I was addicted to the junk. Thankfully I continue to refuse anything but Ibuprofen, but as often as I take that its' not good for my body either. So I was very happy when my doctor said he would order some more test. They will look in my kidney, I will hear in a few days when they will set me up in day surgery to look at my kidney. The doctor really feels like there is some sort of blockage, how ever small it might be, causing this never ending pain. I pray that they find something. I hate feeling crummy all the time. It breaks my heart that my kids have been drug to the doctors office countless times, just for me to pee in a cup. The whole family has been so strong for me through this whole year. The Super man of my life has been there to work to pay medical bills,and food when I can't cook! He's at home to help with whatever he can, and with his arms around me asking God for Wisdom for the doctors and relief for my body. Not a day goes by that I don't feel blessed.

That Crazy Time Of Year

Hi, We are new to this but family keeps asking us if we have a blog.... So here goes.

Parker is staring his 6th week of first grade. He is amazing, He wanted to do cursive so we did and he is great. He puts my handrwriting to shame!! Marshall really just can't stand that Parker is doing school and he isn't so I Told him we could say he's in Pre-K. I have started some Basic Phonics Work with him and we go over numbers, shapes, and stuff like that. Which, by the way, we did these things already but when we call them school he can't wait!! Carson is still a toot I can never let my guard down with this one he keeps us on our toes, but he makes us laugh just as much so I guess I won't complain.

This is the time of year that I love and hate. Parker will turn 6 on Saturday. We will do his party a week later. The week after that Eric leaves town for a school. Then he's gone again for one more week. That school will be in Jefferson county (TX) so who knows the boys and I might go too. By the time all the is over its Halloween !!! The boys can't wait they put their costumes on daily!!! Then we are already to November which has holidays and travel on the books!! Then Christmas... New Years... Carson's Bday and man I have to stop thinking about it my head is already spinning.

And with all this I still have to be Mom, Teacher, Wife, Cook, Maid .....Like I said in the end it all puts a smile on my face so I may be tired but I am Happy and Blessed!!
