Growing up, my mom always made our house a home! In the Fall our home was filled with warm decor and wonderful smelling candles! So, every year, I look forward to getting out the special decor my mom has given me over the years and going to Michaels to buy yummy candles!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnOcitwzVLhmMlRSZQDXcgfFc9PNszp4lMHaGnsChSWdrympPWZq4caWJ3TEuSc7GqJN0yK_6nAg9MaYxkyoILUnwmTaRLh02r934Lqx-R1nMZCV0V_ERp5-dWqbkwouBoDBKmrYWRYqiV/s1600/132.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524268905768039794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnOcitwzVLhmMlRSZQDXcgfFc9PNszp4lMHaGnsChSWdrympPWZq4caWJ3TEuSc7GqJN0yK_6nAg9MaYxkyoILUnwmTaRLh02r934Lqx-R1nMZCV0V_ERp5-dWqbkwouBoDBKmrYWRYqiV/s320/132.JPG" /></a> Happy Fall!<br /><br /><div></div>Swimwifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04800288287808632518noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2043540756769618565.post-59852737295106173192010-09-27T06:14:00.000-07:002010-09-27T17:14:23.492-07:00Homeschooling Adventure!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA_8ZoNrTvLGaL1-4nyrxPzIjzZFwq8RHmvBUy142GJ3PyG_mkCOtFRb1G7qnP10tmq782sjJkLB6pG9wmhqxMqugqcxxE9XqtwxuDm1Nnu_9b4Q84TOsY-GOKaM7jFUZZNREj-XNsjaNp/s1600/085.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521750426540166562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA_8ZoNrTvLGaL1-4nyrxPzIjzZFwq8RHmvBUy142GJ3PyG_mkCOtFRb1G7qnP10tmq782sjJkLB6pG9wmhqxMqugqcxxE9XqtwxuDm1Nnu_9b4Q84TOsY-GOKaM7jFUZZNREj-XNsjaNp/s320/085.JPG" /></a><br /><div>We are officially a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">homeschooling</span> family. I never would have thought that I would be a homeschooling mom! But this is what the Lord has orchestrated for our family for this year and I am so thankful that He did! Not because it is easy, because it is not. And not because we hate the public school system, because we don't. We simply think it is what is best for our family right now. One of the best things about this homeschooling adventure is the support from our local charter school! Valley Oaks Charter School provides Reese the opportunity to go to school one day a week to take Enrichment classes! This quarter Reese is taking Creepy Crawlers, Campfire Circle, Music and Farm Warriors! Her school is equipped with a farm that has goats, sheep, horses, turkeys, chickens and (her favorite) rabbits. She has wonderful teachers and gets to be in class with many of her friends from church.We are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">soo</span> thankful for the school and for the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">privilege</span> of homeschooling her.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE7O14mVpKGJaCzTzDHxzBPNfMLAjdkYxRylxjLP_0yAmp37f4EAT7evhfrOu4RbNu-AWohsI7q8qc618n96G0B6Gvl4CrsfZ-dI0sRZZNJTY-Mzkv1TPb-3Mgk9yW4Ve5XLE04-aiI9PQ/s1600/080.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521747563614795250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE7O14mVpKGJaCzTzDHxzBPNfMLAjdkYxRylxjLP_0yAmp37f4EAT7evhfrOu4RbNu-AWohsI7q8qc618n96G0B6Gvl4CrsfZ-dI0sRZZNJTY-Mzkv1TPb-3Mgk9yW4Ve5XLE04-aiI9PQ/s320/080.JPG" /></a> Reese's first day of Enrichment classes!

Gabe was training for US nationals and we decided to rent a place in Orange County so that the family could join him on his training trips! We made many fun memories and got to spend time with dear friends! I am so thankful for the time we had as a family and the many ways God grew us while traveling every week with three children! It was quite an adventure..<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifQR68zD0be0l2WaZ__optw9-oePHP5qH4HYDJ6HxkOfI1hqfkDTosXvXNWd3OK72wzyTjV-sl1GPRHlKrMD3dWZqb26JvgzOzJQoRRHd5V4x-QUD0xU-sYziPZGqzJIr8yIsBNJcBCGdU/s1600/052.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518008744282991618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifQR68zD0be0l2WaZ__optw9-oePHP5qH4HYDJ6HxkOfI1hqfkDTosXvXNWd3OK72wzyTjV-sl1GPRHlKrMD3dWZqb26JvgzOzJQoRRHd5V4x-QUD0xU-sYziPZGqzJIr8yIsBNJcBCGdU/s320/052.JPG" /></a><br />Now we are home and I am determined to keep up with my blog. I love reading so many of your blogs and am inspired to keep my own! I cant believe the last time I blogged was when Dax was two weeks old! He is now 11 months:) We have started homeschooling Reese for Kindergarten..so I am sure I will have plenty to blog about that:) I will post more pics of our summer at the beach! hope to see you back here soon:)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJoNR8DayW6KYE4buRvkEjf5OJYat-Ff8KuGS7wtCNYBqLAb8BF4ilfVXEbXvpQcoOxLvIbq_rnw6O23_3kLjlrchQpzIhMaGrj_HdkqYBM8vLaBwmM8hjC0XCRJ_fLdVDeKeJW1vetg9S/s1600/076.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We have had such an amazing time at the Olympic Trials. Gabe swam his fastest times ever! The venue and the crowds were incredible. And the times of fellowship we had with friends was so encouraging! And all of you who were watching, cheering and praying with us made it such an overwhelming experience. Thank you all so much. I think the thing that is standing out to me so much this week are the opportunities God gave Gabe to be a light to others. Gabe really tried to take hold of every opportunity to share Christ with others. This is the mark that the Lord has allowed him to leave on the swimming world. I am so thankful to be his wife!! This has been an amazing week and we are so grateful! Today we are going to relax, enjoy Omaha (which has actually become one of my favorite places:) and go watch the Trials tonight together:) We can't wait to see all of you when we get home!

We are so in awe of the Lord this morning, (as we should be every morning:). By His grace Gabe made the finals in the 100m freestyle at the US Olympic swim trials!!! He swam a best time at 48.85 and got 8th...talk about nerve wracking. I was standing up screaming at the top of my lungs while crying! It is a crazy experience. The Lord has been giving Gabe such tremendous peace. We are heading off to the pool for Gabe to stretch out a little and then back to the hotel for some rest before tonight. Gabe has to finish in the top six tonight to make the team. Please pray that the Lord continues to give him peace as he prepares today for his race. The pressure is like nothing I have ever experienced and it is so amazing to see the Lord's peace working in Gabe. Continue praying, it means so much to us!! WE love you all and I'll write more when the results are in:)Swimwifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04800288287808632518noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2043540756769618565.post-67292194798625145252008-07-02T13:59:00.000-07:002008-07-02T14:06:29.748-07:00On To the Semi-Finals!!!This morning Gabe swam an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">awesome</span> time 49.1!

After our 7 hour delay in Denver and our fiasco getting to our hotel last night at 3am(they closed the freeway without a detour or alternate route:) Omaha is turning out to not be one of my favorite places:)!! I do have to say that the Qwest Center is amazing..They did an awesome job. And there are tons of people here. Swimming is not a sport that draws huge crowds to most meets so to be at a meet with all of these people and see World Records broken is amazing!! Gabe and I are both having a great time and praising the Lord for the opportunity to be here. We are humbled by His grace!! WE love you all and I will keep you updated and try to post pictures:)Swimwifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04800288287808632518noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2043540756769618565.post-2241175881890347482008-06-29T06:47:00.000-07:002008-06-29T06:50:45.560-07:00Watch it Live!!!Here is the television schedule for the Olypic Trials.
