She really likes ballet and will focus exclusively on that next year, and not tap. But, her recital dance was just tap. I've included a video of her dress rehearsal. You will have to forgive the poor camera quality AND the lady who decided to walk right in front of me during filming. I took another video of her actual recital, but it didn't turn out very good. Anyway, she is the 4th girl from the right in the video. She did a really good job!<br />

I took the kids to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thunderbirdberryfarm">Thunderbird Farm</a> to do our annual blueberry picking. They have a deal where you can pick three pounds, keep one for free. So, having 7 helpers helping me pick has it's benefits (when Silas isn't eating what he has picked or throwing them at strangers in the next row over). We've almost eaten what we picked this day, so we will may be going back for more before the season is over. They also grow blackberries, raspberries and strawberries at Thunderbird.</div>

The three older kids went on a youth retreat. You may have gotten a text from me asking you to pray because of a very BAD stomach virus that broke out while they were there. About 30% of the people who went got sick. Thank you for your prayers, NONE of the kids got sick! Praise the Lord! This pic is after they returned and the gang was reunited (Nic feel asleep in the back seat while we were waiting on them):</div>

<br />
And, I started running again this year. I ran my first race with a few friends from church. It was the GOO Run and you basically get green, slimy goo shot at you while you are running. Yeah, I won't be doing that one again next year. But, it was fun to run with friends.<br />

We took a field trip with some of our other homeschooling friends back in April to the Cherokee Heritage Center. They had fun learning about what life might have been like in the 1800's. I've posted a few pics and there is a video at the end of the post. It is a commercial that the Cherokee Nations put together during the Heritage Days. You can see our family at the end behind the storyteller. This was a fun field trip to do.</div>

The time from January to May always seems to be so full for us and I don't keep up with things like I want to, blogging for instance. So, I am going to post some of the things we have done these past months and, hopefully, not bore you in the process.<br />
<br />
There are lots of birthdays to celebrate in the winter. Samuel in December, Lizzy and mine in January, and Sadie and Nicolas in February, and Aaron in April. So, we get to eat lots of cake during these months. :))<br />

Samuel is now 15. I am taking him soon to take his reading proficiency test to get his driver's permit. I know, it doesn't seem possible, does it? I'm not going to blink from now on. It seems like he was this age not too long ago:<br />

<br />
We celebrated by having our annual tea at The Pink House in Claremore. I am glad I started this tradition with the girls and my mother. Hopefully, we will be able to do this when they have daughters of their own. <br />

We are gearing up for Summer birthdays now, starting with Henry's on June 6th. I'll have some pics later.

So, here is what we have been up to since November:<br />
<br />
Of course, I couldn't have a post without mentioning soccer, since we live at the soccer field most of the time. Sadie's team won two tournaments and took 1st place in the U11/U12 Rec + Division:<br />

He has decided to not play this Spring, but will be playing baseball instead. I am a little sad about this, because I enjoyed watching him play soccer so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Henry's soccer team came in 3rd out of 5 teams. Unfortunately, I didn't get any good pics of him playing with his team. They were all blurry. But, I will have more opportunities this Spring, as he has decided to continue with soccer instead of playing baseball. (Don't ask Aaron how he feels about this :)). </div>

I haven't taken the kids to a pumpkin patch since Samuel and Lizzy were young. So, I had heard about <a href="http://www.shepherdscross.com/">Sheperd's Cross Farm </a>and decided to take them. It was a really neat working farm. The people who own it are Christians and they have scripture posted everywhere. I would highly recommend going if you ever get the chance. I plan on taking the kids back in April, when they do their sheep sheering demonstration and show how they turn the wool into yarn. They even sell their yarn in the store, which is in the red barn to the left in the first picture. The store is in the bottom of the barn and they have made the top of the barn into a learning center. They had games and displays throughout. This was one of our favorite fieldtrips! </div>

I am little behind on the happenings around our place. I thought I would start with a little video of Sophie's first "mini recital". She is really enjoying her class. She will have another "mini recital" in December and then a big recital in May, where she will be doing a ballet and a tap routine. But, this first one was just a tap routine. I thought she did a great job! (You may have to vistit my website to be able to see the video.)<br />

</div>
Our little princess turned 8 on September 6th. She is now doing ballet and tap, and she is loving it. Her first sneak peek recital is in October 10th. They will be performing a couple of dances for the parents. And, then she will have a recital in December. I hope I get to see her perform in the Nutcracker someday (no pressure though). Happy Birthday, Sophie! We love you soooooo much!<br />

In the first part of the video, he is running the ball down the sideline. It was the first time he has gotten to run the ball this season. He was so excited! In the second part, he is the one on the left in the defensive line. He is #9. They have played 3 games and won each one so far. Silas can tell the score of each game, in case you were wanting to know ;). He is a alot of fun to watch!<br />

Aaron just needs to paint the doors and put it some lighting and it will be done. We have already unloaded the POD (Thank the Lord we no longer have to pay for that!) and most of the other barn that we are tearing down. I am so proud of Aaron and the boys! They worked so hard in the heat to get it done and it looks GREAT! Here are some pics of the process: <br />

Everyone else posts their 1st day of school pics. Thought it would be fun to show you our pics even though it is our 7th day of school today. None of them are perfect, but it gives you an idea of what it's like to take pictures with 7 kids :) (and a dog who likes to photo bomb)</div>

Sadie had her Honor Star Crowning and Lizzy graduated from Friends this past Saturday. Both girls worked very hard for the last 3 years to achieve this. Here are some pics of their BIG DAY! We started off getting a pedicure the day before. Then, I took them to the salon the morning of the crowning to have their hair done.<br />

Sadie and Henry took their missions trips in June. They both had training on Tuesdays from 9-2:30. Henry's class stayed in the Tulsa area and worked with a local church and The Little Lighthouse School. Sadie's class went to Jonesboro, AR, and helped with their food and clothing ministry for 4 days. Each of them had a great time. Here are a few pics from their training days and trips:</div>

Samuel and Elizabeth went on their missions trip to KC in early July. Before going, they had training every Thursday from 8-5 for six weeks to prepare for their trip. They worked with a local church and canvassed the neighborhood to invite everyone to a block party that was thrown for 3 days. 26 people came to know Jesus as their Savior that week! Thank you to those who invested in my children's lives financially and prayerfully! May God pour out a blessing on you. Here are a few photos from their week:</div>

Ask, seek, knock –that is all…Will you believe the promise? It is Christ who gives it. No lie ever fell from His lips. Oh, do not doubt Him. Pray on if you have prayed, and if you have never prayed before, may God help you to begin today!” - Charles SpurgeonMelissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01047051392881386245noreply@blogger.com0
