fearfully and wonderfully made

Hudson's baptism day! This day has been a long time coming! Hudson has loved God forever and has had a desire to be baptized for years! Well it is now time that Hudson fully understands that Jesus saved him. Hudson wants to serve and love the Lord's Kingdom!! It's all for Your glory Father God!!!!

Matt and I are so thankful that God gave us Hudson. He is our special, sweet and loving gift! Matt was the one who got to dunk Hudson in the waters! It was such a tender moment for the two to share together! When Hudson came up, he had a BIG smile all over his face and asked Matt, "Are you so proud of me daddy?" I should say so Hudson! We are so proud of you, but more than that Jesus is so very proud of you! 

Hudson, have you ask Jesus in your heart and do you confess Him as your Lord and savior? YES!!!

Are you ready to show your faith in baptism? YES!!!

David Hudson, I now baptized you in the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit !!!!

Welcome to the family of God!!!!!!

AMEN!!!!!

school day at the lake

I had a great Idea to have school at the lake with Knoxy! I spent and hour packing lunch and all our school stuff.  Well we got there and school didn't happen!!! LOL. Turned out it was NOT a great idea!! Knoxy was a nervous wreak the whole time and she we now know she is terrified of the water:(

So I let the kids swim for a bit and eat a quick lunch. We stayed for an hour and went home!! We will try again with out Knoxy. The lake is so peaceful, it makes for a great reading afternoon!

Matt flew me out to FLORIDA  to join him during his conference meeting. While Matt was at his meeting I got to hang out at the beach and pool all day by myself!!! It was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!

Mason had an awesome Kindergarten year! He worked very hard and he is super proud of his work! Hudson and Mason were great flash card buddies and Hudson was a big help to Mason ( Aubree too)! I could have not got through this year with our God's DAILY ( actually minute by minute) help and guidence nor could  I not have done it with out my kids happy hearts. The best part for me is there is no end of the year emotional melt down on my part becuase they will still be homeschooled with me again next year!!!!!!!!!!!! If you know how emotional I am at the end of school years you will know what a relieve this really is for me!!!! And probably my hubby too!

Ready for 1st grade! All done with his K work books!

Mason's end of the year gift  was a big boy Adventure Bible! He is loving reading it!!!

Hudson loves his pocket Proverbs ans Psalms bible.

 Belle is doing what she loves to do.... WRITE!!!! Hudson can not stand to write but is amazing in Math, this girl..... well Math is so not her favorite but she would write and make up stories all day long!! I love watching them grow in so many different ways!

This is me the teaching momma on my last day of instruction for this school year!!! There were many great days this year. Many challenging days as well. We are so looking forward to a nice long break from the school room! Hudson just has a few more pages to do and we are out for summer.
