Alternative learning

A few things that count, when a mom has lost all patience. Is pattern blocks. Shapes, colors, patterns, and learning to work with others. When my home-schooled kiddos work together it can be so hard at times. Other times it is a blessing to let them be creative together.

Another great thing I love to incoorporate into learning is books like How to Win Friends and Influence People. This book is full of great tools for kids to learn. I highly recommend this book. We work on 1 chapter a week. Giving a child a tool they can actually use in the real world is priceless!

Eternaly Together

Jake and I met in the Spring of 2002, and were married 6 months later. Jake married me with an already made family of 2 boys, Kurtis was 6 and Austin was 4. He became their dad legally and eternally on May 26th this year, very long and awaited. Jake and I have never had the one on one time that a couple has before they start their family. We've recently moved our home to Wasilla, Alaska in June 2009. Since we've been married we've added to our small already made family. In 2004 we had our only little girl EmberLee. In 2006 we had Bridger, and our new addition Theron was born Sept 5, 2008. Jake currently works as a Surgical Technologist at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center. We are building our online networking business and have some news to hopefully share soon. Moving home closer to family is what we are hoping will soon be in our future. I am working on becoming a midwife. We are homeschooling Austin, Ember, Bridger and Theron. Kurtis has moved out and is staying with a friend because he can break the rules there. he did earn his GED while he was at the AMYA. Austin is a 10th Grader, at home. He is still getting into the mode of homeschool, but with his SAD, he's able to somewhat function then get up and do his work. EmberLee is a at home for 4th grade, she is doing well. Bridger is at home for 1st grade and is working on reading and math mostly. he seems to be doing well. Theron is copying Bridger and learning his colors, shapes, alphabet and is smart as a whip. He loves to learn. That is us in a nutshell.
