Wow it seems like summer just started!
School was out in the middle of May.so how did we get to the beginning of August lol??
I still want to go on a family vacation but it really looks like once again it's just not going to happen.
We've been doing a lot of things this summer with the kids but just don't seem to get the old farm house worked on much.
We went to see Rachell Colman from signing times in June. NeVaeh was over the moon about this!
The other two were thrilled too. Mrs Warbonnet her teacher saw us there too!!
NeVaeh loves her signing times!!
Father's Day the kids made a cookie and decorated it for Daddy. They got him fun gifts too.
Good news!!!
David and Laura had baby number 3... Tyler David joined Trinity and Trevor!!
It was a fun time at our house with cousins while he was born!
NeVaeh has been going to LifeScape all summer three days a week for ESY. She is very excited every morning waiting for the van to pick her up. I wish all the kids loved school like her.
The other two only got one hour weekly for ten weeks of ESY at school. I guess it's enough to try to brush up on math skills..
The Fourth of July we set off fireworks at home and had David and family over to help with the celebration.
We did something new this year... 4-H! All three worked hard on projects
Aaliyah stayed an independent member in minnehaha so she could remain in the dog project.
She went weekly to dog class for 8weeks then showed Clyde on a really hot and humid day in July.
She didn't do as well as hoped but she had fun.....and icecream afterwards lol. A blue and two reds.
They all are a member of Springdell club which is a rock county club... They entered a bunch of projects in the fair in Luvern MN.
Andres received a purple on his marble maze, and two blues on a tic,tac toe game and a framed puzzle,
Aaliyah received four blues on a sock dog, framed puzzle, fidget spinner , and are furnished saddle
NeVaeh received a purple on a rice sensory tub, and two blues on a key chain and a name sign.
It was amazing that NeVaeh was able and willing to present her projects to the judge using her talk tablet app on her iPad . It melted my heart!!! That was such an accomplishment for me I was besides myself in pride!!
Earlier this summer Dan mowed over a pheasants nest so we acquired 8 eggs and hatched them out. after 5 weeks they were ready to go free! The kids enjoyed the experience of raising chicks!
They are all ready to raise more eggs lol. We told them they had to wait till next year and we will try chickens.
Summer is always rough on Andres...this one is no exception :(
the past always seems to creep up to him and his behaviors are going south and seems to dictate things we are doing and not doing right now.
This too shall pass.
Our summers not over but there's only a few weeks left. Lots to be done in just a short time. Next week Aaliyah gets her annual MRI/MRA prayers appreciated that we see continued increased circulation to her left side of her brain.
NeVaeh has a Neuro appointment and audiology follow up. The other two have and eye appoinmment and will hopefully get new glasses before school starts. There's a few other doctor appointments in there too but cant remember them all lol.
We have most the school shopping done but we do still have to go through all their last years clothes to see what does and doesn't fit them anymore....It just never ends lol.
I cant wait till school starts! Kids need the structure!!
Great day.
