A Sunny Day at the Park

We took advantage of some nice weather outside and went to go play at the park. The kids loved the opportunity to play in the sunshine.


Ashlyn loved the swing and the wind blowing in her face
Micah is doing a great job of swinging on his own!

It was fun to see Ashlyn explore the playground now that she can get around on her own


Spiderman Micah ~ he loves the climbing wall


Peek-a-boo


And of course, we always love to play in the sand!


This was the first time I've let Ashlyn play in the sand and she was in heaven! She was also filthy by the time we got home!!

Faith Kids in February

February was a fun month in Faith Kids. We had all kinds of new activities going on. Here's a little recap of what we did...

For the letter "P" we had pajama day

All the kids got to wear their pajamas to school.

We also had a special guest visit us ~ a Policeman. Andrew was excited to introduce his Daddy to all the kids.


Officer Kim told them all about the things Policemen do to keep us safe, including handcuffing the bad people!


Micah was eager to participate in this class discussion


They even got to see Officer Kim's patrol car


And away he goes...


"This is officer Micah Scroggins. Please pull over to the right and put your hands on the steering wheel."


Officer Kim and Micah


We also celebrated Valentines Day at Faith Kids. Here's Micah passing out his special valentines.


Micah loves any crafts that include glue!


Check this out!


A Valentine Lollipop ~ Yummy!


Our field trip this month was to Cassell's Music store. They got to see all sorts of instruments in the 4 different musical families. But the best part was that they got to try them out!


First Micah played the autoharp

He also got to try out the violin.
But his favorite instrument by far was the drums!!! The only reason we got the drumsticks away from him was because he accidentally dropped one. He loves the drums!!!

Dad's Day at Faith Kids

Micah was very excited to have Daddy join him for a special Dad's Day at Faith Kids. He got to show Daddy all the things he does every week, and introduce him to all of his friends. Here's a few pictures from the day...

Daddy wore his special t-shirt that Micah made him for Christmas

Micah got to lead the Pledge of Allegiance


One of their crafts was making a paper airplane. After they finished they went outside to have a contest to see whose plane would fly the farthest. Here's the Dads trying it out...


And here go the kids.


Micah had fun just throwing his plane all around

Micah and Andrew having their own little contest

Silly times with Daddy!

Edwards AFB

We had the privilege of going up to Edwards Air Force Base for a private tour. One of the students in the MABC program is a pilot up there, so he was able to get a group of us on base to show us around. While we were there, Micah got to fly in an F-16 simulator, which he thoroughly enjoyed, even after he crash landed it. We also got to see a plane land while we were up in the air traffic control tower. Sadly, we weren't allowed to take pictures of the simulator or the control tower, but we did get pictures at the museum with all the planes. Thanks Nate and Aurelia for a wonderful day!

Micah had fun running around checking out all the planes

He enjoyed hanging out with his buddy Grant too



The boys enjoyed getting to know some new friends, Tobin and Arden


All the boys with Lt. Col. Smith


This was the whole group who spent the day together

We had a fun day at the Ballards, participating in their homeschool day, and also getting a chace to play.

Ashlyn was very loved on by Grace and Lydia. They are going to be great helpers with their new baby coming this summer!


Ashlyn finally started crawling!!!



She loves her new found mobility!
