Growing Sweetly

Once or twice a year, I like to take pictures where I actually make an effort to do them 'right.' (ish)
So here are the sweet darlings in my life! Justus is first... our 4-month-old little man.



Next we have Caeden. There were so many funny ones of him, so expect me to post a few more of him another time!


Samuel, our candyman and cheeser smiler! What an adorable little kid he is!



Austin and his favorite friend. Look at those big brown eyes! What a cute boy!


And lastly, our ribbons and lace, girly, girl, but could kick any boy's butt, Annie! What a special, smart little girl she is becoming!

Weekend at Gramma Snyder's

Mmmm, sunshine!


A good friend, Lacey, handmade a blanket for Justus! Here you see him cuddling up to it... he loves it! Thank you, Lacey, for caring so much for our little man that you would take the time to make him this special gift! :)


Since taking a 6-week sewing class, Annie has been sharpening her skills. When Gramma Snyder invited her out to sew doll clothes, Annie JUMPED at the opportunity! Here she is posing with Mia and her new handmade dress that Gramma Snyder helped her sew!

So for Home-School Group the younger kids learned from a black-belt Karate instructor, Mr. Saunders. As usual, Justus was all joy and smiles...


And Caeden was not a happy camper and managed to rug-burn his forehead while screeching his head off in the nursery...


Learning to properly fall... hmmm, maybe I needed to take this class..





Kicking... Austin was apparently dubbed, "The Karate Kid," by the instructor and asked to help demonstrate.





Most of the photos of Sam came out fuzzy... because he was a blur of fists and fury!

Fun time... I love my Home-School Gang.. Which is what I think it should be called... The GANG!

Tarts



A very good friend and fellow home-schooling mom started a candle-making business and I have decided to feature her here on my blog! What started out as a home-schooling project soon became a hobby that evolved into a business. Here is her story:


Our story... I bought a homemade soy candle from Emmetts Orchard in October 2008 and was amazed that she made these and she made it sound so simple. I googled how to make a candle and found a great website that had step by step instructions and of course the supplies. This began our idea to make gifts for our friends and family and Sunday school teachers. We had so much fun we made too many candles, so we decided to try to sell them for a reasonable price. Our response was incredible!!! So here we are today...we'll see what happens.

Thanks,

Tonya

Getting this shot was not easy... most of them have Sam putting his hands in his face, Annie sticking out her tongue, Caeden moving his head away to where he wanted it and Justus screaming! So enjoy this hard-sought-after photo!!

Mrs. Christine Barger!

And what did we all learn from this? To win, you must enter A LOT! Austin pulled the name out of an actual hat and Annie attempted to read it, lol!

ENJOY YOUR FREE PIZZA, Barger family.... again!
