Myrtle Beach Day 2

we woke up and decided it was a great morning for some pancakes at Breakfast by the Sea. Since it was too cold for the Golf cart we had to drive down to it but that's OK! After breakfast we headed to Broadway at the beach for a little bit before heading back to the campground.


We rode the Golf cart down to the playground to play for a little bit. Bryson loves the slides.
Emery loves the Sand Digger.

walked on the boardwalk and looked for Fish and Alligators.


Cooper was a good puppy too!



Then we walked down to the beach. Cooper loved the Beach! Emery Found Seashells.Bryson found some too! We then decided to ride out to the Veggie stand for some tomatoes. Emery got a big Apple! All that fun was a little too much for this one. She fell asleep on the way back!

Myrtle Beach Day ONE

We are in myrtle Beach for 9 days! Every April we celebrate our Anniversary at The Myrtle Beach Travel Park for a week. It is off season so it isn't that crowded and still not unbearably HOT! Here is Day number one:
Riding the Golf Cart down to the Beach
Bryson and Emery love the Sand!

Emery also loved chasing the Sea Gulls

Bryson playing with his dump truck
And Bryson Also loved eating the sand!
Emery Thought it was fun for the waves to catch her Toes. Bryson thought it was fun to run when the waves got near him!
Tired little boy!
Running through the Tidal pool one last time for the day. We Decided to head to the indoor pool to wash the sand off. Bryson was a little Fish in the water! WE put Floaties on him and he jumped right in the water. Then he would get out and jump in again! Emery Already swims on her own with floaties and was all over the pool as well.
When we got back to the camper We filled the baby pool with water and gave the kids a bath outside. Inside is just a shower and they haven't quite gained trust in that! Then we fixed dinner and ate outside. they love to eat their dinner on the Golf Cart.

After dinner we take a Golf cart ride around the Campground and visit with neighbors. Mimi Sent money so we stopped by the Store and got........
BUG JUICE!!!!!!
After Riding for a little bit Bryson fell asleep so we headed back to put him to bed! What a great Stress Free Day!









































April is here and Almost gone!

Yes that's right and I am just getting back into the groove of things. life here is getting ready to change a whole lot! Starting May 5th, 2010 we will be an Army Family. Seth will be leaving us for 4 1/2 months for training. It will be hard but we will make it through! We already have a lot planned for the summer and just keep adding. Bryson is 19 months old and Full Force! he just started walking and is all over the place. he climbs on counter Tops, jumps off things way too high and is always getting into something. All Boy I guess! Emery is doing great as well. She has learned to Count to 39, can almost recognize all of her ABC's, and can also Write her Name! She knows simple addition 1+1, 2+2, ETC. She can recognize Opposites in pretty much everything! Life is Good!

2 months?!?

I have Neglected this blog for two months now!! Time have been busy... On Thanksgiving we had a pretty decent size Thanksgiving party here at our house and decorated it just how my grandmother would want it done! That evening we went to visit with some family where Emery and Bryson were able to play with there cousins Danica, Jaxson, and Joshua.
we are now settling in to the festivities of Christmas. unfortunately Church was canceled Yesterday and we missed our Christmas service but we will celebrate it throughout the week along with the church service sunday after christmas. Why was church canceled? It Actually snowed here!! We get a pretty good snow once a year but this one was beautiful!! Last Week our children sang to the church and Emery did a fantastic job. I was worried that she wouldnt want to stand up there but she did great! she is the farthest little girl to the right in the burgandy dress.

HomePreSchool has been postponed until after the holidays.. One of the many many reasons why I love homeschooling. we have played many ABC games the past couple of months and learned in many other ways but our actual curriculum will be brought back out the first of january for all the Little Hands to heaven Followers!

LHTH Week 2 (Noah's Ark)

This week lasted a little longer than usual. Bryson was sick with a bad ear infection in the middle of it so we took a few days off. My camera battery went dead as well and we realized that the battery charger for it was left at our old house so we had to buy a new one. :(

We started the week off learning about the letter B and Noah's Ark. Emery loved the Finger play this week.

Two Big bears got of the boat,
the rains came down and the boat did float;
B-B-B,
The animals played and played;
and noah heard the big bears say,
Gerrr! Gerrr! Gerrr!

It goes on to do Big bears, beavers, baboons, birds, etc. But for some reason her favorite was the baboons so we did it over and over agian.


We then learned more about noahs ark and did a paper plate craft I got off of here: http://christian-parenting.suite101.com/article.cfm/make_a_noahs_ark_paper_plate_craft

She loved making this and putting the animals in!


We also did a rainbow craft. We tore up Construction paper and glued it to a rainbow. We Also painted the letter B, and made our B road (like we did for A). And of course we did worksheets!





And just becuase I think she is so cute here is a video of her counting to 10!

LHTH week 1 (Letter A)

We just finished up week one of Little Hands to Heaven.. I have to say that it went extremely well! Emery loved school everyday and learned so much in just a few days. We finished in 3 days instead of 5! Now we are on to Week 2. A little about what she did this week:
We are using in Conjunction to LHTH School Zone's Big Preschool Workbook.I chose this particular workbook because it was a really good price and it gave me all I needed in one book instead of buying many different workbooks. I am actually really pleased with it! I tear out all the Sheets we will be doing for the week and keep them together and when she is ready for one I give her one.

I don't follow a certain schedule of what to do on what day. instead I make a list at the beginning of the week of all the activities I would like for EJ to Accomplish during that week. Then as we go along i see what she might be interested in at the time. I then will check them off as I go. This seems to work well because she has times where she wants to just color instead of listening to a story or vise versa. Sometimes this might take us a whole week to complete then some might take us a few days. I also add on this list books that I will be checking out from the library. I take advantage of the online catalog to see what they have so that I know what I am going for. I add snacks that start with this certain letter and theme words as well.

So As you can see I don't JUST use LHTH. I use LHTH as a base for our day and what to follow with what bible story, finger play and ETC. but I add in so much more.

Our Week 1:

Emery loved the Finger play. We learned about Adam and Eve and how God made the universe. Our finger play was A-A-A Adam! Can you believe? God made the Animals; and you and me! She loved it. There was more to it but with her being younger I kept it short so she would have an easier time memorizing it. So now when we say what sound does the letter A make? she says " A-A-A Adam!" I am going to try and get it on Video tomorrow and post for everyone to see.

We Drew on White paper with a white crayon, then painted over it with watered down black tempera Paint to show how God made everything out of nothing. She really enjoyed this project.Another Art Activity we did was a Cheerio A. Emery Glued Cheerios to the Letter A.We also made an "A" Road. I used masking Tape and put an A on the floor where Emery took toy cars and road them down the road. You could also improvise and have your child walk their stuffed animals on the A. We did many more Activities including Hide and Seek A where Emery had to find all the A's on a page, Count on Me Caterpillar where she drew "1" Caterpillar in Each home (working on the number 1), The tree of life where we looked through a magazine and found a picture of 1 tree to paste to the number one page. This will soon make a numbers book from 1-1o. Our color was red so we colored with a red crayon all over a white piece of paper then walked around the house finding things that were red. We also played a game where we pretended a belt was a serpent and we have to run and jump over it so it wouldn't get us. Emery loved this and thought it was a lot of fun.

We read our Devotion out of Big Thoughts for Little People. Each week's Devotion is by the Letter. This wee was Letter A of course. A is for Asking. It was about praying to God and asking him for things when we needed them.We used a CD that is used throughout LHTH called The Singing Bible. It is a Focus on the Family CD and has over 50 songs about the bible. Emery loves this CD and puts in herself and listens to it throughout the Day.

Little Hands to Heaven Preschool


We just purchased Emery's Preschool Curriculum Last night and Ihave to say I am extremely Escited to start it. Little Hands to Heaven is a collection of 33 units based on stories from the Bible. Each unit has a theme centered around Bible characters. The activities in each unit coordinate with the daily Bible stories. We go through one letter a week with sounds, one number a week, and it has lots of fun activities to do with it! I will update and let everyone know how is it going.
