Winning Shot

A few months ago Sierra was out riding her horse when a neighbor came over to ask me if she could take some pics for a photography class she was taking at college. Her assignment was to capture the light from a sunset behind a subject, Sierra being her subject. Needless to say she got it! I found out later that she scored an A & the above photo was used as an example to the class to show the other students exactly what the professor wanted them to capture. The second one shows just how fast the light changes a shot.

"Sew" Much Fun

Sierra has been enjoying sewing classes again this summer. Thanks, Mrs. Debbie. The girls have been making some really cute things & they have been inspired to sew things on their own at home. Each week when we meet they have a little show & tell about what they are working on at home. For class each week they all bring their sewing machines, fabric, & any supplies they need. They get to make their project from start to finish & take it home that day. I think Sierra has really developed a love for sewing & has made so many fun memories with friends.

Rainy Day + A Friend = Fun!

Jumping in the pool between rain showers.
Two creative minds at work leaving paper doll trails
& colored pencil drawings of herds of horses running
in the wild. Piled on the bed to play a game of Buckaroo
& don't forget Guess Who? What a lovely day to play.
Thanks Allie for spending the day. Sierra had a wonderful
time with you. Lots of Love!

As I wrap up this season of homeschooling I feel as though we have learned so much this year. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us next. It's always exciting for me to have a fresh start & a new outlook on things, but for now we will be taking a wonderful summer break. A time to refresh, relax, & have some summer fun with lots of time spent in the pool. :)

Happy Summer!
