SO SICK!!!

HOLY MOLY!!!!

We have been SO sick. It started with Cohen and trickled to me then Parker.

Temps of 104 and flu/cold symptoms

IT WAS HORRIBLE!

Finally a whole week later we are slowly getting back in to the swing of it all.

Thought I would give you a small glimpse into a Stockbridge Academy day.

Reading with Mommy

ART...my favorite

sketching classes online

silent reading tents (Parker's)

(Cohen's)

Parker started a new lap book on the history of fencing and duh he had to build a Lego model, it's only natural.

His fencing guy

Just Found This LOVE It!

Sometimes I browse other blogs and someone posted this

totally cute commercial.

Hope you likey.

Happy Valentines Day

Okay, so it started out really innocent. Taking sweet pictures with this new program I

discovered on my Mac ... then all of the sudden it went really wrong

and we did the creepy photos for like a half an hour.

Enjoy our circus type love.

The last one is my absolute FAVORITE!

HA!!! Cohen totally looks like Ross Perot

LOTS O PICTURES

Okay, we have been REALLY busy with trips and events.

HANG ON ... LOTS 'O pictures to be seen below.

#1. I am starting this adventure of photos with our trip south to my sisters in So Cal. My sister has this AWESOME skate park by her house.

We stayed with my sister in Ladera Ranch and had the pleasure of visiting Legoland...TWICE.

The boys were in heaven and we had such a great time.

Brody and Brynn are getting so big and happiness comes with sadness, for all we are blessed to see, yet missed over time.

I love my family dearly and miss them more than words can say.

#2. HI Cayman and Kristie! On our way home we decided to stop off in Ventura and visit the Kings and Cayman is blowing up. He is SO smart and man,

what a character. He is SO easy to photograph.

I LOVE IT!

#3. The boys and I went to homeschool day at the academy of science in

SF and I continue to be amazed at the joy of watching them learn HANDS ON. They get SO much from these "homeschool days" at different venues, because it is geared toward the homeschool student.

It's the best!

#4. Next we had a homeschool event that was based on public speaking. Teaching the kids early on to be comfortable speaking in front of a group of others, peers and adults alike.

After Parker's presentation (the theme was music) on the harmonica and beat boxing

(c'mon that's normal) a woman brought instruments

and the kids had a chance to try them out.

#5. My cousin arrives (from Alaska) with her youngest son Carson and it's SF here we come.

We did it all ... the Oakland Zoo, China town, Golden Gate bridge and an awesome desert shop called Citizen Cake. While we were nose deep in chocolate cake a camera crew came in and got footage of us pigging out and we are going to be on the food network in May. The show is called Ultimate Sweets. Then off to ride the cable cars and walk down Lombard St.

We had such a GREAT visit.

ENJOY!
