I am a wife to a great husband and a mother to 8 great kidz! We are a christian homeschooling family! A little different then most. I married my wonderful husband on August 18th 2001, I already had my first blessing(Destiney) prior to our marriage. I was 16 when Destiney was born. After we married my husband John adopted Destiney! Since then we have had 7 more blessings making 8! We have put our trust in the Lord and will have as many blessings as He blesses us with!

our homeschooling year...
This past homeschooling year has definitely been the best yet for us! We have used My Fathers World curriculum for our Bible, History, Geography, Art & Music. The kids & I have enjoyed it, the kids said they loved learning about the different countries & cultures. For elementary grades I do a simple report card for each child just to have on file, Destineys grade average was 93 & Johnnys was 92. For K & 1st grade I give satisfactory/unsatisfactory. But as most homeschoolers know we don't really need report cards because we each know how our children are doing since we are the ones teaching them, or should I say watching them learn. Gianna has done well this year, last year was rough so we just went over 1st grade again. I can definitely see a difference since we started last year. She enjoys being read to & has started reading more on her own. She doesn't really like math much, but we are just going at her pace. Ethan is a fast learner, he finished his math curriculum before expected. Some days he would just sit & "do math" for fun. He also likes to be read to but most of the time he wants to read to you. Im very proud of all my children, I love to see them helping one another without being asked, & loving on each other. Im so blessed to have a family that is so close & loves one another so much!
