HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER-WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
licking the frosting off his toy wolves.
Nana Renee sent a package with lots of fun birthday stuff for Oliver. The silly string was a big hit with everyone-Travis had never seen it before. They had a blast getting eachother with it. Thanks nana!!
Okay, so I know I am not a professional, but so far, Oliver is ok with me making him his cake. And really I enjoy making something fun for him. I am sure he will get to the age where it's not cool anymore, but for now.....
Oliver and his two new wolves for his birthday. Check out the sliding doo behind him-another gift from Nana renee, window markers. Fun was had by all with these-even mom and dad.

Oliver turned 6 on Sunday. I hope he had a good day-we tried to make it fun and special. He wanted a wolf bday cake and that's all he asked for. He never forgot about Thatcher being able to pick out a toy at the zoo for his bday present-so that's what he wanted to do too. After church, Travis took him to the gift shop and let him pick something out-an arcitc fox-which he thinks is a white wolf. While they were there, I made the bday cake. I had no idea how I was going to do it, but I did it and it turned out ok. The goal was met and Oliver loved it, he wanted to play with it and not eat it. But that didn't last long though.
Travis's parents came over and ate pizza and cake with us. Oliver couldn't wait to open his gift, but he says he already knew what it was. Shocker....another wolf toy.
So we can always remember Oliver's bdays by what he was obsessed with at the time, I call it the era of.....
his 1 bday he wasn't really into anything in particular
2-era of the pigs
3-era of the elephant
4-era of the dinosaur
5-era of the dog
6-era of the wolf
He is so fun and we are so thankful God has intrusted us with him.

Fall day
It has been so cold lately and the leaves have fallen without turning colors. But today was just right to go out and play, so we raked some leaves into a pile and the kids had fun playing with them. Why do we own toys????
After playing we had home-made chicken noodle soup for supper. It felt good to warm up after the chilly day. We had a great day just being together as a family-we are so blessed!!

BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY
Kids can always find a game with water involved.
The pinata that didn't take as long to break as we thought. Swinging a bat with 6 children around----tense!
Making their bookmarks.
We had a back to school party with another homeschool family. We wanted to do something fun for the start of the new school year, especially since we were going to be homeschooling and wanted the kids to get excited about that.
We grilled and had cupcakes for dessert. The kids played a couple of games like finding hidden pencils with candy attached and a horse pinata(it was almost to cute to hit). They made bookmarks with stickers and got a journal to take home. Everyone wrote down what they wanted to work on this school year and we put those into a container and gave those prayer requests to the Lord. At the end of the school year we will bring them back out to see how God has worked in us in those areas.
At the end of the night, we had a fire and made smores. It ended up being a late night but a fun time fellowshiping with friends.
