AMPHIBIOUS INVASION

 

I had been teaching my seventh-graders about World War II, and a test question was, "What was the largest amphibious assault of all time?"

 

Expecting to see "the D-Day invasion" as the answer, I found instead on one paper, "Moses and the plague of frogs."

Calves

Star

Bright
Last night Jacob's brother Adam called and and told Jacob he could get a really good deal on bull calves and wanted to know if he was interested in getting any. Well we had been talking about doing this for awhile along with my parents so of course Jacob said yes. Adam brought them over this morning and as you can see they are adorable. I tried to get the kids let me name them burger and steak (because that is what they are going to be) but they wouldn't let me. They wanted to name them after Almanzo Wilder's oxen in the Little House on the Prairie books so Star and Bright it is.

Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow

Finally some real snow :) This is the type of snow everyone in the Rogue Valley freaks out about and we expected to see all the time. But this is close to the most snow we have seen here and it is still going strong. Lets go for 2 to 3 feet :)

That is laughable!

img039

Of course we are Christians so we raise our children as unto the Lord teaching them his absolute truth and true wisdom. So our kids know that some of the worlds concepts are off or completely inaccurate.

The other day one of our songs was playing titled “Evolution of the Heart” The song proclaims “I believe in evolution of the heart, That God could take a cold stone and give  a man a brand new heart” The intention is that the only evolution that is true is God’s transformation of our lives through his son Jesus Christ. So Tyler comes out of the bedroom after hearing this song and says “Mom, is evolution bad”? We often discuss how man created this concept with absolutely no proof or even a hint of proof (If you think that is an uninformed understanding send me an email and we will discuss). He knew we do not believe in evolution (Yes it is  a belief) so that is why he asked about it.

Now the best part…. Angie explains what the song is talking about and what some believe about evolution. He busted out in disbelieving laughter at the thought that people believe that. This was the type of laughter he gives me when he knows I am pulling his leg.  Out of the mouths of babes….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB!!!

DSCI0842

     Today is Jacob’s 32 birthday! He took the day off from work so we’ve just had a fun day hanging out. We picked up donuts for breakfast on our way to take Austin to Starbase. Then he played on the wii while I made him his chocolate chip cheesecake he wanted for his birthday cake. Other than that we started another puzzle, watched a movie, played the wii some more, so you can tell its been a lazy day which exactly what he wanted. For lunch he wanted me to make him cheeseburgers and fries and for dinner tonight he is going to bbq steak and mushrooms YUM!

Happy Birthday Jacob! I love you !!!
