Spring 2012

 Spring - It spring, sprang, sprung right past me!!  We had so many wonderful new adventures the past several months.   My (Christi's) parents sold their house in her home town, lived with us for 8 weeks and then moved into a house just 3 streets behind us.   What a  BUSY adventure that was!  We are truly so incredibly blessed to have them living nearby.  Homeschooling 3 children was also a new adventure!  Thankfully, with Corban officially only being in preschool it gave me the flexibility to give him a few "off" days here and there for my sanity.  Next year will be an entirely different story. (deep breath!)  So thankful for the practice run this year gave me though!

 All three boys are doing wonderful - healthy, full of energy, athletic, bright, witty, and completely different!   We are learning just how much the Lord equips parents to raise children, to love them as He loves them, to help show them the world through eternal lenses, and to rely on Him daily for the understanding that only He can give to nurture individual personalities.  These little guys are just so incredibly precious and we are so blessed beyond measure to be their parents.  They are so full of life and joy - Just look at 'em!!


Yep, We're in Texas all right!!  It's bluebonnet time!
So handsome!  (and big!!)
  

Athletic!!
What an understatement that is!  These boys kept us on
the go with practices, games, classes!
It is such a joy to watch them grow,
learn and gain new skills.
  
Bubba B's 3rd year of basketball...
with a pretty cute coach, if I do say so!  :)
This year Bubba B. and Bubba both played soccer 
and loved being on the same team.  
Not bragging or anything but these
 guys can do some serious damage!
Little Bubba took an "All Sports" class too
since he's still too young to 
take an official sport.  Next year, he's ready to go!

Bubba is still going strong with American Karate.  
This semester he received his Advanced Purple Belt
and 2nd Degree Advanced Purple Belt. 
He also received special recognition
during his last belt test
for an "above and beyond" test!



Bubba B's "other" sport was taking a robotics class.  
Honestly, it was his favorite!
This guy LOVES Lego's and computers, 
so this sport is right up his ally!

at a the local mall for passer-by's.
 Oh, and if there was a class just on "trampoline",
 that would be his 2nd favorite sport!
Kids got skill!! 
I just love this picture... captures his character to a T!

 Their homeschool enrichment
talent show was SO fun!  

Bubba and a friend wrote a skit all by
themselves and then performed it.
They even came up with the ideas for costumes,
boat, and fish.  It was hilarious!!

 Bubba B. did a pogo-stick routine...AMAZING!!!!

 For my big 4-0 birthday this year, I wanted to
take the family to the Reunion tower ball
in downtown Dallas.  Although they love roller coasters,
none of them really enjoyed the 
height of the restaurant or the fact that it rotated! LOL!

Bubba's masterpeice!

The boys studied Astronomy during school 
this year so we thought it only
an educational necessity to take 
them to visit NASA in Houston.  Funny thing, their initial
reaction was just as great as 
their Disney World reaction!  We had such a great time!

This picture is of  Bubba B's Astronaut Graduation party
at his home school enrichment program.  
They each received individually signed 
autographs from astronauts 
and a certificate as Junior Astronauts.

Little Bubba's Graduation from preschool!!
He'll be in Kindergarten next year - how time does fly! 


Stay tuned for postings of their digital school photo albums. 
I will have them finished by 
summers end and you will be able to see
all their art work and 
adventures from the entire school year.
HAPPY SUMMER!!!
