Teaching moments with Gavin

Brooke is 2 1/2 years older than her cousin Gavin, a perfect age difference for learning to take place. It was so cute to watch them both be into this learning session. Gavin is actually a little smarter than Brooke lets him be. She is learning to let him answer the question before she tells him the answer.

Brooke figured out that she could place the fish crackers inside the book. She now recognizes the numbers 1 - 10, so we passed this book down to Gavin.

Water Fun

This was the present Sage picked out when shopping with Grandma Suzette. I have no idea how 4 kids can fit inside, but they do. Something about water, just spells F-U-N!

Sage learned about false advertising packaging with this purchase. It looked bigger in the photos on the box :)

Let the Show begin!

Perry is often found producing an acrobatic show in our backyard. He trains the girls in necessary knowledge as to what he thinks a successful show includes. When he puts on a show, he likes it to be long enough for people to know that this is serious business. The grandparents, parents, the dog, and many dollies were invited to be the audience. We are impressed with the creativeness and endurance of all those involved. The next night, music from the show "Annie" was added per Grandma's request. Please note that some acts were not filmed, due to technical difficulties (my own). Please forgive the tree branches for being in the way and enjoy the show. The last clip is the finale.

Sage is getting Baptized

This girl is so excited to be getting baptized! You are all invited next Sunday, the 31st at 4 PM. She has planned the entire program herself. Way to go Sage!

My baby plays with worms

These are silk worms purchased by her father, taken care of by ME...hmmmm. This little girl is entertained by silk worms. She talks to them, has named them and plays with them.

They eat these Mulberry leaves all day long.

Here is the happiest bug lady ever! She collects all kinds of bugs and sometimes loves them too much. So far the silk worms have survived.

Brooke's school

These pictures were scanned, so I hope they come out some what visible. Brooke has been attending pre-school with Mrs. Tami and Mrs. Aubrey. A nice photographer came and took nice photos right in her front yard. We have learned a lot this year! Brooke along with 4 others are headed to Kindergarten in the fall.

Sage lost a tooth

I believe this is Sage's 7th lost tooth. She pulled it out herself! Her cousin, Bailey lost the same tooth yesterday as well. The stars must be all lined up or something...
