Finally Getting Around to Posting Pictures from August!

August was busy, fun, and went by way too fast!  There's lots of pictures so ENJOY!


On August 5th Charly turned 4 and we celebrated 15 years of Marriage!


Charlotte's siblings made her very cute a creative gifts.  The pumpkin looking thing above was made by Curt.


Missy made her a very cute and dainty bracelet!



Matt made her a VERY CREATIVE "quiet book!"




We went to a lovely place for the Nelson reunion where Charly received a old desk from Grandma and Grandpa for her birthday.  It came from the Elementary School her Dad and Grandpa attended their bums could have easily sat in that chair!


She has already spent many hours using it!


We also got to see the new Olivuus home front and helped carry in a very FEW boxes!

The next few pictures are the solution to my "why do my camera batteries die so FAST" question!





There are PLENTY more pictures very similar to these!  It was obvious to me that they had hooked the camera up to the TV and were having a blast taking pictures!



Our neighbors dog had puppies that the kids enjoyed until they were sold!  They also have hamsters that are proliferating faster then you can read this sentence! ;)


The last pictures were all taken at our family vacation/camping trip!  We always choose the week everyone goes back to school for our family vacation.  We love it!!!  Just another perk of educating our children at home!  We had a WONDERFUL time!  As you will see from the pictures below!











Matt turned 11 while we were gone!  This was his "cake!"








FUN TIMES!

Love to all!!!!!
