Hello and welcome! I've been blogging since 2007 at the homeschoolblogger, but I've found that this Blogger is easier to work with, so here I am starting a new blog...
A little more about us... We live in the Midwest on 40 acres with lots of pecan trees. We have a little creek that runs through our acres. That's why we picked the name, Little Creek Homeschool, for our school.
My husband, Steve, works with his dad, his older brother and other hired-hands on the farm which is a family business that consists of a grain farming base of 2,000 acres, a swine breeding business operating a premium pork production and a marketing business. He's also involved in a family partnership that is directed to the production of commercial-show quality Maine-Anjou cattle. He's a very hard worker and loves what he does. In his spare time, he enjoys hunting...mostly deer and turkey. His new hobby is archery using his traditional bow. Our oldest son took up archery in 4-H two years ago and that's when he picked up an interest in archery. So together they have been going to 3-D shooting competitions and have enjoyed spending time together in the outdoors.
About our lovely daughter, Kayla. She's 13 and LOVES horses. She has a 3 1/2 year old palamino mare that is recently broke to ride. She also has an eight year old buckskin gelding that is broke, but also unpredictable. She plays piano and has been playing since she was 7. She LOVES to read! Reading and horses are her two favorite things. She also owns a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Bailee and is due to have puppies soon.
Our 11 year old son, Clay, LOVES the outdoors. He loves to hunt and spend time with his yellow labrador retriever. School is not his favorite thing. He would rather be outside than anything else, but he does try hard to do his best because he likes to go with his dad in the afternoons and work on the farm. In order to do that, he HAS to get his school work done. He also plays piano and would like to learn to play guitar one of these days.
Our 5 year old son, Ethan, is a very busy guy just like his daddy! He loves to be with his dad and enjoys going to the farm with him every chance he gets. He's in Kindergarten this year and loves doing school!
Now to our 4th child, Evan. He's 2 years old and he is such a sweetie. He's saying more words now and pretty much repeats what we say. He's picking up things quickly, so looks like he'll be a quick learner! :)
And of course we enjoy all of our children and pray for them to grow up in the way they should go.
Now about me. :) Well there's not much to tell. Let's see, I'm a stay at home christian, homeschooling mom. I do my best to train my children. It's not easy! We have good days and some better days! :) I like to make cards and some crafts when I get a chance to. I grow my own vegetable garden (not a fancy one) and put up lots of corn, green beans, spaghetti sauce and hot sauce for the winter. I enjoy reading magazines and books. My favorite magazines are Keepers at Home, Seasons at Home (a new one), and The Old Schoolhouse. I do my best to read scriptures from my Bible and study God's Word.
Well this is all for now. :)
