Heart's Desire

Sunday afternoon we headed out to Heart's Desire...and just for the record, it was not 45minutes away!!! This cove is out near Point Reyes:) And it is beautiful!

No waves. Light breeze. Sunshine. It was great:)

Her first find of the day.

I guess without waves, my girls are all about the water!

Faith was proud of herself for snatching Mr Beasley's chair!

On the look out for the van to go home!

Overall, a great afternoon!

How Old???

JUNE 17th David turned 41!!!!! I surprised him with a get together with some of our new friends here! He was shocked when he came in from work:)

Fire Marshall said we couldn't have 41 candles--fire hazard, so we did the number candles this year!!!!!

I baked him his favorite---carrot cake with cream cheese icing! It turned out great...and my arm finally quit burning hours later~~I had to grate 6 cups of carrots!

Everyone enjoyed the cake and fellowship:)

Jeremy, David, Travis, Shane, and Emelina.

The girls pretended to be fairies and ran off to fairy land!

It was a great evening!!! We'll see what next year brings for him:)

Promotion Night

June 2 brought an end to the homeschool year. Faith did very well, she is almost reading on her own:)
The homeschool group celebrates the students with a promotion night. Here the students can present a song, dance, poem, play the piano, display their work from the year, etc.
Here are some pictures from the evening

Here is Faith-- before we left


...and her sister:)

They are showing dad how their dresses "pop out"

In the gym, the line up for the procession
--keeping 60 kids in line, in order was a challenge (we didn't try for quiet!)

Faith with a friend

...walking in was "scarry", hence the sad, teary face!

Faith and some other students danced what they had learned through the academy day, worship dance session. Dalaina was also able to participate and did an amazing job!

They were depicting seeds growing in a garden that sprout and grow at different times and explore the garden.

They danced beautifully and everyone was all smiles watching them!!
