Daddy's birthday gift

 

For daddy's birthday we went to the farm. We wrote part of his favorite Bible verse on the kids feet and took a picture. We framed it and gave it to him. Even though his birthday was a few days away we couldn't help but give it to him the day it came in the mail!

Random Pictures

 

A couple of random pictures Hannah took from our backyard.

Girls Sleepover February 2014

Hannah wanted to have her girlfriends from Pearland come and stay the night for her birthday.  We went to Sengelman Hall for a family night.  It was great music, pizza, and lots of laughs.

Then it was home for a late night of movies.

 Here I come to save the day.......
 

 

Supermom #1 to the rescue.

 

 

Supermom #2 to the rescue.

 

We wouldn't have been able to participate  in this wonderful opportunity of passing out cards and heart pillows to the patients at St. Marks Hospital if it wasn't for these two fabulous women. 

 

I packed our family into both of their vehicles and off to the hospital and park we went.   
What a fun and blessed day it was!!

 

 

 

 

 We got to stop by Tray's sister's room and give her a hug, pillow and a few Valentine cards.

 

 

Lexi wanted to stop and read all the letters on every sign we passed.

Edward Hicks. The Peaceable Kingdom c.a. 1832-1834

Edward Hicks was a self-taught painter and a Quaker minister.  Between the years of 1820-1849, he painted many different versions of the biblical prophesy from Isaiah: "the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid and the calf....and a little child shall lead them."

In his painting he expresses his hope for peace among nature and men.

Belshazzar's Feast
REMBRANDT
(1606-1669)

Rembrandt was born in Leiden, Holland, and became the most influential Dutch artist of the 17th century.

Long after King Solomon's death, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, captures Jerusalem.  At a great feast, his son, King Belshazzar, serves wine in precious goblets which his father took from the Lord's temple.  Suddenly a dreadful omen appears.
-Daniel 5

Week 10 Highlights

A few HIGHLIGHTS from our week

The girls were sick a few days so we took it easy this week.  I read to them from Twice Freed, we watched Amazing Love The Story of Hosea, did our basics and played around in science.

This week in science we studied the bones.

 

 We cut out our skeleton from The Body Book.  I numbered the bones on the skeleton then wrote the names on index cards and numbered the back side.  The kids practiced identifying and checking their answers throughout the week.

 We made a veggie skeleton and the kids had to choose one vegetable to research the nutritional facts on.

 We constructed a backbone from pony tail holders, a jump rope and pipe insulator foam.
I explained to the kids that we have a total of 33 bones in the backbone. 5 are fused together to form the sacrum and 4 bones make the tailbone.  Our model consisted of the remaining 24 vertebrae and disks.
Pipe insulator = vertebrae
Pony tail = disk
Jump rope = spinal cord
 The idea came from http://www.spelloutloud.com/2011/11/right-now-we-are-on-break-but-i-thought.html

 An image from the book Bones Our Skeletal System by Seymour Simon.

We did the Bend a Bone with Vinegar science experiment found at 

http://www.sciencebob.com/experiments/rubberbone.php

 

Science Matters, another blog, had a great idea on how to make model of a bone. 

   http://science-mattersblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/body-systems-skeletal-system-bone-model.html

Supplies needed:

 red and blue yarn, white felt-which I sewed together to make 

a tube, PVC pipe, foam pipe insulator, model clay and Velcro.

The  yarn represents the blood vessels, the felt is the dense membrane.

 The PVC pipe represents the compact bone.

 Pipe insulator is the spongy bone.

The model clay is your bone marrow.

I made bingo cards with calcium rich foods.

Thursday Lexi and I laid on the trampoline admiring the backyard birds
before our friends came over for a play date.
