The kids had fun racking up tickets at the arcade.

New Blog

I have decided to move my blog, as it is easier to upload pictures on blogger. As I am still trying to move posts from my old blog to this new one, I have gotten behind on blogging. Here is my attempt to catch up.



A couple of weeks ago, we went to Hilton Head and stayed with my parents in a condo they rented. We were there for one week. Here is Bethany with a starfish she found on the beach.



Here is Caleb with a salamander he discovered in the pool.

One of Caleb's Passions

One of my son's passions is science. Anything science, bring it on, because he loves it. He is currently doing a unit study on "Boats and Water". It has a lot of different hands on experiments. Here is a picture of one, a wooden raft.

Bethany's Latest Project

Bethany is my child who loves to design and create things. She saw this idea on Curious George and wanted to do it herself. With a little help from Mommy with gathering the wood, this is what Bethany constructed, a lean to. Here are pictures of the lean to at different stages.

A Suprise Guest

Last week, I went in my bedroom to open the blinds. This is what I saw.



Here is a closer view.



Come by our house anytime, Ms. Deer!

Caleb's Birthday

I am posting quite a few days late. Caleb's birthday was last weekend. Smile.

Here is a picture of Caleb at his suprise birthday party that my mother-in-law threw for him. It was a kid's only party, but I managed to get this picture before we left.





Here is Caleb with his sister and cousins!

Here is Caleb on his actual birthday






Caleb, you are a joy to us! You are a compassionate young man that has a love of reading, of building, and of being a comedian. We love to hear your "opera" and funny songs ringing through the house. Your love of God is evident to us and others. Praying you hear His voice and walk in the plan He has for you!

The Halverson Olympics

Of course I didn't have my camera, so I have to blog about it.

The Olympics have been a hot item to watch at our house. Last night my daughter came up with the idea of having the Halverson Olympics. She said there could be 3 competitions, swimming, running and gymnastics. I laughed at the gymnastics.

Tonight, we decided to go for a short swim at Lake Lanier. After we had been there for a few minutes, my daughter decided we should start the 1st round of the Halverson Olympics. She and her brother lined up on the beach, and when I shouted "Go!", they raced to a buoy out about 15 feet and back to the starting line. It was really fun to watch. They did this about 3 times, because my son kept winning and my daughter was determined to "win the gold."

Our next event was the relay, boys versus girls, same race as before to the buoy and back. This was even funnier. The ids lined up with my husband and I in our perspective "lanes". My husband and I shouted "Go!" and the relay race began. My son and daughter raced to the buoy and came back to tag us. Then my husband and I raced into the water to the buoy. On the way back to shore, my husband faked like he fell and "let" me win. Exciting and fun stuff for our family.

I think that this was our best night at the lake this summer. And I even won a medal, a paper one at that.
