Ariel

I can not believe that it is fall already and that the kids have been in school for 2 months. Yep kids, you read right. Landon just started Kindergarten this year and really loves school.But more about him later. I think i will start off with what has been going on in Ariel's life right now. Ariel is now in 4th grade. I just can't get over that, 1 more year in elementary and she will be in the middle school. Which by the way scares me to death. Why can't we keep them little? I have asked God that many times.I just have not gotten a good answer.OK, maybe i have gotten a good answer but just not one i want to accept.:) Anyways she is enjoying school i believe and is trying her hardest this year. It has been a very different year so far then in the past years. Things are getting a little harder for her and we might be dealing with some attention issues this year. But other then that she is doing great.She has been very active over the last few years and has started some new things this year.


This past summer she started playing softball,the real deal no tee ball or rookie league this year. She really enjoyed it. Even though i don't think she hit that ball at all. But she is a very determined person and did not give up. She had a good time and that is all that matters to me. I just want her and the boys to enjoy what they are doing. She says she wants to play again this coming summer.



Also this summer Ariel had her first ever 4-H experience. Like i said she is moving on up, no more exploring 4-h. It is the real deal. She wanted to do rabbit club. So last year at the fair we got her a black otter mini rex which she named Hopscotch. Hops for short. She was only 5 weeks old when we got her. She is a very pretty rabbit with velvety black fur with some butterscotch color in places.They did very well at the fair this year they took B.O.V.(best of variety) and B.O.B(best of breed.
We were all very proud of there accomplishments.




During the fall she used to bowl, but decided last year that she wanted to play basketball. So she did through school and then with Upwards through our church. She enjoyed doing it and gave it her best. That is all we ask of them. She is also going to play Upwards this coming Jan. but decided not to play for school.But the activities do not stop there.
As of right now Ariel is in her 3rd year of quizzing for church. They are studying Luke chapters 1-11.Next year they will finish the other half of Luke. Her first year she did the study on Joseph in Genesis 37- 50, then last year it was Moses in Exodus 1-20. I do not know how there little minds hold all that information. I have a hard enough time remembering what i ate for breakfast.:) But they do remember and that astounds me.She does such a great job at it and really enjoys it. Which i love that she is getting into the word of God and hiding that in her heart so that she will be able to remember, follow and use it in her life. What can be better then that. Nothing!! She has a great group of girls on the team. So i guess this raps up Ariel's past months for awhile. There will be much more for me to post in the future.

  1. I can't believe how old Ariel is! Didn't you just bring her home from the hospital as a baby yesterday? (LOL)
