Do we ever slow down, it sure doesnt seem like it. Last week we had my nieces graduation and then had a big party for her afterwards. I still cant believe it, I am old enough to have a niece that is getting ready to go to college. Man time flies.
Today is my birthday, and in 6 days it will be my daughters birthday, and not to mention Fathers Day is Sunday. We will be celebrating all these events tomorrow with a pool party with the family. I hope tomorrow is a rain free day.
And well Fathers Day, well as most of you know is a very hard occasion for me. This will be the fourth Fathers Day I have not had my dad here with me. Does it ever get any easier, it doesnt seem like it. I miss him so much. I often tell my husband that there are so many times I wish I could just talk to him, hug him and just hear his voice. I miss him picking on me and seeing him with his grandchildren, oh how he loved them. So to my Daddy, I want to say Happy Fathers Day and I LOVE YOU!
To my husband and wonderful father of my children, Happy Fathers Day! Our kids are so blessed to have you as their daddy! WE LOVE YOU BUNCHES!
Hope you all have a great weekend and hopefully I will be back to a normal routine soon!

Hot Water Heater, Conference, and Anniversary
One morning this week our hot water heater gave out and leaked in our floor..ugh. So after I got everything cleaned up out of the floor and found out what the problem was I had to thank the Lord that I was home. Had I not been home we would have had a mess. So we have had to change our daily routine up a little, spending time at my moms some for use of water. The plan is to have this replaced in the morning and hopefully things will be back to normal.
Next week, well in 6 days, me and two other moms will be heading to Greenville, SC for the Southeast Homeschool Conference. Can I tell ya I am so excited about this trip! I am so looking forward to spending time with other homeschoolers, getting some great tips from seminars, and attending the book fair. Looking forward to the fellowship with my friends too! Did I tell you, I am really excited about going on this trip, well if I didnt I am very excited!
Also next week while I am away it will be mine and my husbands 11 year anniversary. I know I wont even be here with him. He has to work the whole time I am gone so we are going to celebrate another weekend. We thought about this weekend but with the water heater issue it may have to be the weekend after the conference. I cant believe it has been 11 years since we said I do, I love him more today than ever. He is the best and I just love him so much. I couldnt have asked for a better hubby and father for my children.
Wishing everyone a great weekend!

Wow, its been a while since I posted. There has just been so much going on. I told my mom this morning that I need to slow down a little.
This month already we have had a homeschool meeting and a field trip with our homeschool group. There has been a doctors appointment, birthday party 2 out of 3 weekends, Chuck E Cheese, circus, and basketball games every Saturday. Might I add that basketball has been so much fun for the kids and for us to see them play and enjoy it as well.
Oh yeah and some big news for us this month my brother and his wife announced they are expecting baby number 3. Due Date is September 19!!!! Can you tell that I amhappy excited.
Then yesterday we got a phone call that one of my cousins found out she has cancer and they are going to do surgery today. So mom, my grandma, and I are heading up to the hospital in a little bit. Please say a prayer for her and the family. Her health is not that great so pray that everything will go well with the surgery.
Hope you all are doing well and wishing you all a great weekend.

Where we are at right now....
In school Bryanna has started a study on China and even though she is doing a lot of research it is going well. She finally finished her math book but now we are going back and reviewing some things before moving on. BW is doing really good and is getting back on track, he is learning new words and seems to be paying attention well. Sometimes I still have a hard time keeping his attention on what we are doing but all in all he is doing good.
As far as school anyone have any suggestions on History for a 7th grader and 1st grader. Yes I am already thinking about next years curriculum. I am going to the conference in Greenville in March and I hope to be able to purchase the kids curriculum while I am there.
My moms birthday was this past weekend and she turned sixty. I love her so much, she is just so special to me. She is retiring at the end of the month and I am just excited for her. After dad passed away I told her I would like her to enjoy her retirement since dad didnt get to see it. And she is excited and talking about all the things she wants to do once she retires.
Kids have started playing upward basketball and I have enjoyed watching them play. They love it and are doing a good job.
I would like to have this:
I want a new camera and I like the look of this and what I have read about it. If you have a D3100 would you please let me know what you think of your camera.
Hope you all have a great weekend.

What we have been doing
We have had so much going on and I guess it will be this way till the holidays are over.
I have signed the kids up for upward basketball and they are super excited about getting to play. We have had our evaluations and now we are just waiting on practices to start. They are having a draft night in 2 weeks and we are excited to meet their coaches and have some fun.
In 2 weeks it will be my BW's 6th birthday, wow, where did that time go. He of course is very excited and wants everything. I think he has decided he wants to have a lego party. He has really gotten into legos recently. I love to watch him build these because he gets so into it and serious about it.
On the otherhand we had to go to the eye doctor last week and I was shocked at the results. We knew there was a chance he would need glasses but I wasnt really prepared for the diagnosis. The doctor said he was 3 times as farsighted as he should be at this age and has astigmatism in both eyes. I was so shocked, and after that wore off I could just cry. I thought how could he have had such a hard time seeing and I the mom not know it. So doing my research of course found out that he was probably born with this so the blurry vision is all that he has known. I felt a little better about it and now I just want to get him his glasses so he will see better. He was so excited he got to pick out his frames, some light blue ones (his favorite color) and he looks so cute in them. I cant wait to pick them up and you know I will have to post a picture of him. He has just been worried that people will laugh at him so we are having to really encourage him.
Hope you are all having a good week!

I bet you thought I had disappeared, no just had a lot going on.
Last week hubby was on vacation, we headed out to the beach for a week. But Hurricane Earl had other plans for us, we were evacuated on Thursday morning. So beach trip was cut short, but we said no matter where we were we still had that family time together. So Friday we went on a shopping trip, you know shopping seems to be good for everyone. Had a lot of fun this past week, and I am really missing my hubby already this morning.
The kids both have doctors appointments this afternoon and I am a little stressed about it. Both kids have to get their vaccinations and I hope they do well. I hate to see my kids go through any kind of pain, especially when I cant do anything for them.
In other news I think I am going to give Sonlight a try for history and science for Bryanna. We like HOD but I really want to try this too. Starting this week we really start to get into school more. BW is really eager to learn how to read, I am excited about that but a little sad. My baby is growing up.
Oh yeah, my item arrived last week for my CSN review. Cant wait to use it this week and tell you about it, I am very excited.
Hoping to get some pictures posted this week I took of the kids at the beach. Wishing you all a great week!

Our week....
We have been super busy this week...It all started with a family reunion last Saturday. I enjoy being around my family and seeing everyone I dont get to see that often. Then that night we had some friends over for swimming and food. Sunday the 4th we went to church and then after the evening service we had fellowship. Headed home, changed clothes and then went out to see the fireworks.
Starting Monday I went with a friend shopping had a lot of fun. Although didnt know how to act not having the kids to worry about or constantly hearing my name being called. Tuesday I took the kids to a free summer movie at the theater and upon arrival there we received coupons for the kids to get a Chick-Fil-A kids meal free...so guess where we went for lunch, yep you guessed it Chick-Fil-A. Went to Barnes and Noble, love going in there and relaxing and looking at books with the kids. Today we went swimming with some friends and have just been hanging out since we got home.
Whats your week been like?

What we are doing...
Well as I told you our furniture has been ordered and is scheduled to be delivered in about 4 weeks. Cant wait to see it all in our house. So for now we are in the process of painting and then we hope to get the floors installed before delivery day. My main computer is down so I am unable to put any pictures up at this point but I cant wait to share with you what we have done.
Tomorrow I leave for the whole heart conference with a friend of mine and I am looking forward to the conference and hope to get a lot out of it.
I hope you all have a great weekend and I hope to check back in with you next week!

Lots going on...
We are getting ready to be really busy starting today. This past Saturday the hubby and I went and purchased our new living room furniture. No I didnt get the ottoman, it was nice but the shelf went all the way through so basically no storage which defeated the purpose for me. So we got a coffee table instead. And we had planned on getting a sectional but we got a loveseat, couch and chair. We love it! This year will be our 10 year anniversary and guess what, this is our first official big furniture purchase. So today begins the cleaning up of walls and packing up of small things so we can prepare to paint. Then we hope to put floors down before the furniture comes. Alot to do, but it will all look so good when we are finished, at least I hope so. Not sure how much I will be able to be on here but I will check back as much as I can.

This and That
I havent posted in a long time but things have been really busy around the Kennedy house. First off, I got a letter about a homeschool review and that will take place on the 18th. I am busy getting all of that stuff together as well as trying to stay caught up on school work.
Something happened with my sister last weekend and we were not sure if she would pull through but God brought her through and now she is going through some recovery. This has us very occupied, we went from having 2 children in our house to 4 overnight. But thats ok, I love my nieces very much and I am enjoying every minute I have with them. I ask all my bloggy friends to be in prayer for my sister and our family. Prayers mean so much.
Another thing Bryanna lost one of her pets, her dog Angel. She passed away this past Friday night. She was really upset and bless her heart she said she thought it was her fault. It is amazing how attatched you can become to animals.
It has snowed here over the weekend and that has really put a damper on things. The kids want to be out in it me not so much. Snow is just not my favorite thing, not a big fan of the cold at all.
We are talking about redoing our living room floors, furniture and all. So of course I have been on the lookout on the internet for couches and flooring. This is a job, I see things I like but then I think is this really what we want. So hopefully we will figure out something.

I have not posted in a while and thought I need to post something. Things have been really busy around here and getting even busier. We have had one thing after another since December 1. We went to a tree lighting service at hospice in memory of my dad and grandfather and others who have passed away. We have had several events at church. I have been shopping several times already. We have the ballet tomorrow and the christmas party on Friday. Did I mention I have been shopping, seems like I have done a lot of that lately. But we are taking the next 2 weeks off for a break plus Bryan will be off all next week, yeah! I am so looking forward to that. This will probably be my last post for a while. So to all of my friends I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!!!!!
