We enjoyed ourselves. There was some real interesting stuff there. I would recommend it to anyone who is in the Boise ID area :)

a little on our life...
Hello :) It's been a long while since I have updated. Reading Missy's update made me think how I should at least update for her if not for anyone else :) I am not much for computers or trying to figure blogging out but maybe I can post pictures sometime.
Anyways here it goes: I finally got my kids CAT testing done. I did the paper test myself. It feels good to finally have them done. The results came in the mail the other day. I was pleased to see the kids all scored high.(which I expected since I worked with them each day)
We are deciding on new school curriculum for the up coming year. Math-U-See, Easy Grammer etc. have aligned with common core and we do NOT support that at all. It is looking like we will be going back to Abeka math and I will probably do a Unit Study with my 2 youngest (with the 2 older girls doing it too). LaKaysha and Daminika will both be in high school so I will have them do more. I ordered Apologia Science for them a while back and Law and Government. I also have a writing course that Daminika will do( need to order another student book) They will also be using "Nourishing Traditions" for health. I am trying to find a history course for Daminika. LaKaysha will finish up the history course I had her and Felicity start last year.
We are adding onto our chicken coop.( Chancy and Leon are doing all the work) With hopes and dreams of having 24 chickens someday :) We also have been working on finishing the fencing for our chickens and future goats ;) Liberty spends many hours a day in the pen with the chickens. She has our young ones so tame. They just love people and come walking around feet and between our legs. It is pretty neat :)
We (when I say we, I mean mainly Felicity)spring cleaned my bathroom, closet and room. It hadn't been done in the 5 years we lived here. The closet and bathroom got done once each I guess. That feels good. (LaKaysha, Daminika and myself did help but Felicity did most, as we were busy with other things)
LaKaysha has been babysitting for a ladies Bible study group along with Marissa and Marita every Tuesday morning. I am glad she is able to but it makes me lonesome. I guess it just isn't easy having all your kids grow up on ya.
Felicity is still working for Mollie. Any where's from 1-3 days a week. So between her and LaKaysha being gone I feel rather lonely.
I try walk and jog every week day. It really helps my anxiety. SO thankful for that. losing weight would be a nice added bonus. :)
I miss having babies...I miss having babies with my sisters. There is a empty spot in my heart...guess it will always be there?? Or maybe someday grandbabies will fill that void??
Mindy and I went to an Abeka book display Monday, then spent the day down town. Even went out to lunch! It has been YEARS since I did something like that. Evelyn was with us :) She is such a lil dolly! I really enjoyed myself.
Liberty has been getting her teeth worked on. Stressful! Also feels so good to have it getting done. I am thankful I tried this new place right in BG. Praying the next visit goes as well.
Well, guess that's it for now. life is just life....nothing exciting...which is a good thing! :)
