NEWSFLASH

I have been really BUSY with school!

What's going on?

I started school on Monday and to tell you the truth it is harder than I thought. Kayla started CC on Tuesday she said it wasn't that bad. Cooper is staying home this year and is doing My Fathers World, Saxon Math, and Phonics. Cadence started Hoover on Wednesday and she loved it. Clayton start ACS today and also very much loved it. Brianna will be going to Mothers Day Out on Mon,Tues, Wed. Alaina will start going to Mothers Day Out in September...only on Tuesdays though. I started dance today and absolutely LOVED IT!! My teacher is amazing she makes sure you follow the rules and if you don't you have a punishment in push-ups. I love to dance. Especially for the Lord my God. :)

No Kids

My dad took all the little kids to Branson for 2 days and left Me, Kayla, my mom, and Alaina. It was SO quiet once all the kids left. We have to take care of Alaina the whole time so we can't go anywhere all weekend. We are starting school next week so my mom is preparing for all of that stuff. I got to have a friend over on Friday and she helped with Alaina too so that was a bonus! :) I have been watching tons of movies lately because I've been SO bored. My favorite on I watched was called "Summer Eleven." It was about 4 best friends and they helped each other through rough times and good times. There was a sad one called "The Other Side of Heaven." I was a good movie but sad....not sad enough to cry though. I also watched a Horse Movie called "Moondance Alexander." They were all good movies and now I am about to watch "Read it and Weep."

Smiles. :)

This picture is Amazing! If you look close enough you can see that everybody is smiling. Even the baby!! I love it!

Mels Harluck Diner

Mels Hardluck Diner is my favorite place to eat in Branson. They have GREAT burgers and the waitress and waiters sing all around the resturant. Our waitress sung a lot of Taylor Swift songs and Cadence loves Taylor Swift songs. Out waitress, when it was her turn to sing, she asked Cadence what was her favorite song of Taylor Swift. She sang her favorite song and let Cadence sing into the microphone. This is all of us a the dinner table.

She is singing Cadences favorite song.

Additons

About a few months ago we added three people to our family. I haven't gotten around to blogging it because I've been busy. We added three little girls, Cadence-5, Brianna-3, and Alaina- 6 months.
They are my cousins and we are fostering them.
This is Mothers Day. This is the 4th of July. The baby isn't in this picture.

Last month we went to branson and had a blast. They have a huge pool there and a movie room.

This is Brianna trying to carry pool stuff out to the car.

This is a GREAT picture of Alaina :o)

School!

School is starting next week. I'm going to stay homeschooled but we are still starting school when the others do. I started my writing 2 days ago and my spelling yesterday but the rest I will start on Monday. I already wrote a paper on The Middle Ages and I thought I did pretty good. I'll let you read it.

The Dark Ages

By Camryn

The Middle Ages is remembered for its intrepid knights, royal kings, and massive castles. But they were not glorious times. The Middle Ages began with the crumbling of the Western Roman Empire in the 400’s and 500’s. Some awful tribes of treacherous warriors stormed across Europe and seized its different parts. These barbarians were not civilized. They lived in tents, ate nasty raw food, and did not bathe. Boy, they must be fetid! They had no interest in arts and learning. They invaded the Roman lands and set up thee own kingdoms. The Roman culture, its law, art, and love of learning was lost. Some people called the times “The Dark Ages.”

Strong knights and colossal castles did not appear until the 900’s. By then, most of Western Europe had been divided into huge estates called manors. A few rich noblemen owned some estates and lived in terrific castles, but other people were poor and called serfs. They did not have great lives. They worked tiredly from sunup the sundown farming for the noblemen. They lived in almost dilapidated huts with mud walls, clay floors, and no doors. The food was scarce, disgusting garbage on the streets, and horrible diseases plagued villages. The average person lived to be 30 years old. Education and culture activity was almost forgotten. Life in the Middle Ages was filled with awful hardships.
