Babies at 5 days old

2009-08-16T01:09:00.000-07:00

The babies have already grown alot and are starting to get cute!
Amazing how just a little hair can make such a difference.

More baby bunnies

2009-08-11T10:23:00.000-07:00

They will be much cuter within a couple of weeks.

Jordan is now the proud owner of 4 very cute babies. They are 4 days old. They are very sweet.

New job adventure

2009-01-16T01:06:00.000-08:00

I am so excited. I have started taking online classes for accounting and have gotten 100% on my first 2 tests. That is as far as I can go until my books arrive. I just checked online and they are sending 5 boxes. WOW! I am very optimistic about this. I think I will do pretty well and will still be able to stay home with my kids and continue to homeschool them.

Newest Leaders family members.

2008-12-26T23:19:00.000-08:00

Meet the newest family members to the Leaders family. We have 2 upside-down catfish named
David and Goliath. We also have 3 bala sharks. It is the neatest thing to watch the catfish swim.
I think this is just one more example of God throwing things into Science just to show that He is
God and He is in control.

more pics of kids

2008-12-18T17:55:00.000-08:00

I'm back

2008-12-17T02:52:00.000-08:00

Here are some current pics of the kids. I am sorry that it has been so long since I have been on here. My life has been crazy.

Cool Fish picture

2008-08-14T00:48:00.000-07:00

I just thought this picture turned out tooo cool not to share.

Jordan and Princess Minnie

2008-08-14T00:38:00.000-07:00

Jordan is extremely happy to finally have her new little pet. It took her a long time to convince her daddy into it and then a while before it worked out to get it, but I think she feels it was well worth the wait. She told me that Princess Minnie is her favorite mouse in the whole world. She is pretty cute.

Meet Princess Minnie!

2008-08-14T00:28:00.000-07:00

We went to the pet store today to get a hampster and ended up getting a mouse instead. I am pleased with this however, as she is much nicer and was much cheaper than a hampster, with a lot less upkeep. Isn't she just cute as can be? Now the main hurdle will be keeping our cat Max away from her.

2008-08-12T01:49:00.000-07:00

Dakota and Jordan sang their song that they wrote for the talent show at the JAM camp we went to. They did a wonderful job. I am so frustrated that I did not have the sound on, on my camera.

Jordan at her playday!

2008-08-09T18:40:00.000-07:00

The horse that Jordan usually rides was out of commission due to a surgery, so she got to ride Awesome.

On your marks, get set,go

2008-07-05T01:02:00.000-07:00

Dakota and Jordan have discovered the go carts in town and they have a blast in them. However, if this shows how they will be as drivers then everyone better watch out.

Score

2008-07-05T00:59:00.000-07:00

Dakota scoring his first goal in his first game. He went on to score two more. His first game his team won 5-3 and his second they won 7-1. They have a good little team, they work well together. The second game 7 different players scored so that is good team play. Way to go team!

Dakota is enjoying Soccer!

2008-06-30T02:46:00.000-07:00

Dakota is really enjoying his soccer practices. Hw will have his first games this week, he is very excited. He is quite a little soccer player.

Jordan gets to clean her first stall

2008-06-30T02:43:00.000-07:00

Jordan is having way too much fun cleaning horse stalls. I wish she would have this much fun cleaning her room.

New Baby

2008-06-30T02:38:00.000-07:00

We got the opportunity to go see this brand new baby horse. At this point it was about 15 hours old. It was so soft and mom was very generous to let us get in with them and love on her new baby.

Trail ride

2008-06-18T23:59:00.000-07:00

Jordan, Micah and I got to go on a trail ride for an hour. Thanks to Dakota, who won this trip for picking up the most trash along this annual fundraising hike that is held every year. He so graciously gave it to his sister and her friend and mom got to come along also. Micah had never been on a horse before and had a grand time. It was alot of fun. Now we all want our own horses. Micah and Jordan were fighting over who was going to get to ride on Stormy, which is the big dark colored horse and guess who ended up getting to ride on him? You guessed it, Me. Ha ha. It was a bit of a struggle to keep the horses from grabbing snacks along the way. They are very clever about how they go about this. From pretending to stumble to just plain get their head and grab fast. Tricky little critters they are.

First day!

2008-06-13T00:43:00.000-07:00

Jordan on her first day at Shalamar Stables. She did excellent. She has a great teacher and student teacher. They both were impressed at her balance. She is a little natural on the horse. I think she is going to learn alot here.

A fun time for all!

2008-06-11T00:47:00.000-07:00

I think this was by far the best VBS for my kids ever. They were ready to go before I was most days. They learned so much and made some really great friends. Dakota learned that it is ok to dance and sing for the Lord, even if he is a boy. He even learned that is ok for boys to give and receive hugs. Thank you to Steve-o. I truely believe this is an experience my kids will not forget. I am very glad that we had this opportunity.

My little drummer boy!

2008-06-11T00:35:00.000-07:00

Dakota has really been practicing his drums a ton and it is really showing. He is in practicing atleast 2 to 3 hours a day with no promting from Mom.

2008-05-13T18:20:00.000-07:00

I think we have finally finished the tank. We now have 36 fish and lots of pretties.

2008-05-07T01:38:00.000-07:00

Here is the other side of the tank.

tank makeover

2008-05-07T01:37:00.000-07:00

We went from turtles to fish, as fish are much cleaner and easier to take care of. The tank is still in progress. We were able to add 5 little tiny fish and 4 frogs that you can't really see in the pictures.

Baby Katie

2008-04-28T00:38:00.000-07:00

Here is our Niece that we had not met yet. Isn't she just cute as can be?

A day with the horses.

2008-04-28T00:20:00.000-07:00

Both Dakota and Jordan were in heaven our day at Chad's cousin's house. All got to ride horses, Jordan rode almost all day, and Dakota had alot of boys to play with. I think that was probably the favorite day of our whole trip to Michigan.

Happy Birthday Dakota!

2008-04-28T00:11:00.000-07:00

We went to the local Days Inn motel and had a swimming party for Dakota's birthday. Sorry to all my readers for the dely in getting these pics posted. My computer has been having some issues. Hopefully they are resolved now.

Birthday party was a success

What a feat it was trying to get a picture of all the great grandkids!
We had one day that we had them all, and to say the least not all would cooperate at one time, but how can you expect this many to smile all at once?

2007-08-07T23:13:00.000-07:00

Hello to all!

2007-07-01T20:36:00.001-07:00

I thought I would try to catch up with the times and start blogging. Since I don't have time to stay in touch with all my loved ones personally. Here is my attempt.
