Carson 22 Months Old

Update on Carson, he is now 22 months old.  It has been a lot of fun having this little guy around.  He is defiantly a joyful addition to our family.  I have got to continue to blog about him since I have blogged for the other 2 when they were little bitty.

We are still homeschooling.  It was a little difficult to change our routine but I believe we got down for now.  When he stops taking naps it will be difficult to change our schedule around but I am sure we will figure it out once it gets there.  I continue to rely on the Lord through our homeschooling.  It has been a challenge at times but also I feel very blessed to be able to school our children.

Below are some updated pictures of Carson and the kids.

 Caden playing out in the country, what he was born to do.

 Carson be cool!

Tot School-Blocks

We officially started Tot School with Carson.  Not schooling but playing.  

We played for about 5-10 minutes (really however long he wanted).  

Carson is currently 10 months and 1 day old

Theme:  Blocks

They really just kept going in his mouth but we tried to show him that there were other ways to play with them.

 Caden put that Elmo doll next to him and he didn't seem to like it.

He loved them in the bowl.  It was so hard to keep the blocks in the bowl.  He literately would throw the bowl across the room!

 Then we put the blocks into a wipe container.  He just wanted to close the top.

 I closed the top and showed him how to push them through the hole.  

He wasn't interested for very long.

You can see by his face how he liked to play pee-a-boo with the blocks.  He wasn't a fan. 

Oh, older brothers!  Should I say more!

Outdoor Fun and Classical Conversations

We had lots of fun in the month of October.  It has still been warm here so the kids had and idea to play with water balloons on the trampoline!!!  It was so much fun because the water balloons last a lot longer on a trampoline.

 This picture is hilarious of Caden!

 We just started using Draw, Write, Now Book One.  My favorite blog 1+1+1=1 uses it with her kids.

Hannah drew the one on the left with no help and I drew the one on the right and she wanted to color it.

 Caden drew the one on the left with no help and I drew the one on the right and he wanted to color it.

 Oh, how I love this sweet boy!!!!  He is getting sooooo big.  He is currently 9 1/2 months old.  He is saying Da Da.  Crawling everywhere, opening everything, smiling all the time, biting all the time (Ouch!), and he is beginning to stand with out help.  He took 3 steps yesterday!  Oh, boy!  He will be a busy boy soon!

 Here is Carson with his favorite Aunt, they share the same birthday!

 With his favorite Paw-Paw!

Caden at his baseball game.  He is really good!  I am so proud.  He is very good at fielding the ball.  I believe he is the only one that doesn't play in the dirt which is pretty impressive for a 5 year old, I mean what 5 year old doesn't like playing in the dirt.:)  He also hits really well out of his coaches (His Daddy) hands.  Love that boy!

Oh, this is so cute.  Carson insisted on climbing on Caden's bed so I let him figure out how to get up and down by himself and this is how he did it. lol

We are just so impressed with our school choice this year.  My kids attend Classical Conversations.  This is Hannah reciting the Heian Empire.
Here is what she is saying:
As the Heian government weakened in Japan, Shoguns began to rule and expelled all foreigners during the period of isolation.  Circa 1853, Commodore Matthew Perry of the U.S. restored trade, allowing the Meiji to modernize Japan.

The Roman Republic fought the Punic Wars, which were followed by the Pax Romana.  In 286 AD, the empire divided into the Western and Eastern empires until Germanic barbarians defeated the Western Empire, in 476 AD.

Hannah skip counting 9s and 10s.

Caden reciting the Greek and Roman gods.

Hannah reciting the timeline for Creation-Jesus!:)))  Love Classical Conversations

Halloween and More

Wow, I can't believe I haven't blogged in so long!  I wish I had more time to keep up with all our memories!  Well here is an update.

 The week before Halloween we went to a pumpkin patch with our homeschool group.

 Halloween night Lyla my niece joined us and some wonderful friends from church.

 Silly moments with my niece Eden!

 I signed Hannah up for a ballet, jazz, and tap class.  She loves it!  Caden is playing baseball.  I will add his pictures later.  He is doing awesome!

We went on a Pizza Tour and made our own pizza.

 My two boys!!!  Caden is soon to be 6 years old and Carson is 9 months old.  Wow they grow so fast.
