Yellow River Game Ranch

When my brother and I were little, almost every time we went to visit our Grandmom, we wanted her to take us to the Yellow River Game Ranch. We LOVED it! So last week, with Chad in Colorado and Brooke in the Dominican Republic, Chris and I headed out to the Game Ranch with our little ones. Besides some areas being damaged in the floods last fall, the Game Ranch was exactly like we remembered it!
Addison and Lilly were both smiling for the picture, but neither one was looking!
All of the animals at the Game Ranch were rescued and wouldn't survive in the wild.
This bear was obviously used to being fed - he could catch peanuts, carrots, etc... with very little effort!!

Lilly and Addison kept trying to feed the animals tiny little pieces. We had to help them with bigger pieces so they didn't get bit in the process!

The scariest animal for Addison - a cougar. I had a hard time getting my camera to focus on the animal instead of the fence.

Lucky for us it was Sheep Shearing day at the Game Ranch! This talented farmer could shear the sheep so that the coat was all in one piece. Random fact we learned - sheep won't try to move if their feet aren't touching the ground!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

                                  Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult.  A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book.   While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had.  The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year.  Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process.   Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th  Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
