About Us
We are blessed with 12 children. Our two eldest have been blessed with 5 children so far and each has a wonderful spouse. We have enjoyed 23 years of homeschooling and look forward to many more. We view children as a gift from the Lord and our privilege, duty, joy and honor to teach them His gospel.

kenzie
For some reason Kenzie has been interested in learning about the Constitution of the Untied States. She found a book on the shelf by Applewood Books on the Constitution and asked if she could read it. Sure, go ahead!! Never mind that it is far above her grade level. So she reads the first 3 paragraphs and looks at me and says: "I think Obama should read this book!! Then as she walked off I heard her say: "course he probably doesn't even know about it! (meaning the constitution)"

Education choices are not neutral
When you choose schooling...you select the outcome of your child's life. (click the pick to read why)
Four Steps That Lead to Peace
Be desirous of doing the will of another, rather than thy own. Choose always to have less, rather than more. Seek always the lowest place, and be inferior to everyone. Wish always, and pray, that the will of God may be wholly fulfilled in thee.
commonplace books in our homeschools
Commonplacing is the practice of entering literary excerpts and personal comments into a private journal. These are key in our homeschool and I am amazed at how much the children learn from using this method. To learn more click the picture.

Ever find it disturbing when the life you have chosen begins to carry a very close resemblance to that of a well known nursery rhyme?

A Point to Ponder
Five Little Maidens
Girl's Everywhere~Only you can restore virtue; only you can cast out corruption; only you can drive the fiends of intemperance, of fraud, of oppression, of despair, of craftiness, of selfishness, from the land!

Tricia. I so love your family. The girls did a great job. and the laughing is just great. Lindsey made the picture her self on my blog with the four different poses. It was in our photo booth application. Hope that helps. I really love the way your blog looks. Like the pictures and how bright everything is. I hope to stay close after our move across country. Loving thoughts today and always. Jaime
Wow! I'm so impressed! The girls are fabulous!
