August week 4 - Signs follow those that believe

all four eating Popsicles

play

Our annual hike to Green Pond by Snowbasin, right at the start of Fall Learning


Bunny sighting! 

They are GREAT hikers


There's that bunny again




Still hiking - they earned their Root Beer after, for sure.

Troy is going to the local public school a block from our house....

Yes, seriously.
I know not, save the Lord commanded me.
I felt uneasy, in a stupor and unsure for an entire week after fasting on "How to homeschool better". After I decided to send him to school, although it was against everything in my mind that I have decided over the past two years, the Lord blessed me with peace in my heart.

I still get to homeschool her, though!

(who lost a tooth that morning)


and I still get to homeschool him

and him

Their DAD took them to this!
(A serious sacrifice of love on his part)


bike ride!



playing at the park


and another park

visiting my Grandma Pat and Aunt Kendra
helping her weed her garden




School! (at the treehouse museum)







tons of HARD work on the barn roof



Scripture: "Faith cometh not by signs, but signs follow those that believe" -D&C 63:4
Song:"Lead me into life eternal by the gospel's holy call.  Let thy promise rest upon me; grant me ready strength for all" - Hymn #45

I certainly needed a lot faith to send Troy to public school this week.
We focused on each kids day of the week a bit more this week: Tuesday Troy day, Jade Wednesday, Cash Thursday and Paul Friday - they each picked two or three things to do that day, along with their usual 'leadership role' that day in choosing food, prayers, etc.

August week 3 - Let Virtue Garnish thy Thoughts unceasingly

LAGOON!




















Very Fun day! Very tired baby by 9pm that night...



Fix-it with Grandpa class :)

Weeding with Grandma




ATV time out back


One of our very own watermelons

PTA carnival at Troy's new.... SCHOOL!


He LOVES gloves!


Treehouse museum


Miraculously, no one was permanently injured in the repair of the barn roof

Only Jade, Ralph and Greg fell through to their waists.

I can fix it like Grandpa


Scripture: "Let Virtue Garnish thy thoughts unceasingly" - D&C 121:45
Song: "Because I want to be like the Savior and I can, I'm reading His instructions, I'm following His plan.  Because I want the power His words will give to me, I'm changing how I live, I'm changing what I'll be.
Scripture Power! Keeps me safe from sin.  Scripture Power! is the power to win! 
Scripture Power! Every day I need the power that I get each time I read."
