Random February Pictures

Here's the extra pictures that didn't make it into any previous post from February. I'm trying to get caught up!


Shelby crashed one afternoon at co-op. I realized that I hadn't seen or heard from her in a while and went to check on her and found her asleep in the nursery!


Patrick being cute while I was trying to sew. He thought hanging out under the sewing table was great fun!


Clayton wanted to make a small scale model of the tree house he wants to build. Hopefully one day (sooner rather than later) we can actually build one!


Shelby asleep on the couch.


Clayton was so very proud of these suspenders! 


Patrick playing with the tape ball we made after basting a quilt.

A little more than a week after our light snow, it was warm enough to stop at the playground after co-op. The kids often want to stop at Lawrenceville Lawn on our way home, but circumstances don't always allow for it. We took advantage of the pretty weather though and enjoyed a little time at the park. 


All the kids love the merry-go-round! Especially standing up on it!


Clayton is always climbing to the top of different structures.


The moon was clearly visible in the beautiful blue sky.


Shelby just chillin'.


Shelby in the spiderweb climb.


Clayton on the merry-go-round.


Paige on the merry-go-round.


Paige laying in the fake grass (the sun was a little bright)!


Cheyenne


Shelby


Cheyenne running and jumping onto the spiderweb climb.


Paige climbing up and over the side of the playground. There was a long series of these pictures, but I just picked out three that best showed start to finish.

Growing up in the south, any little bit of snow causes great excitement! The kids enjoy the day off school (well, maybe) and the vast majority of adults panic (or at least those that are on the road or in the grocery stores). We had a small sprinkling of snow and the kids loved going out to watch it fall and make snowballs to throw at each other. 


My first attempt to capture a snowflake on our trampoline didn't work so well. I couldn't get my camera to focus solely on the snowflake. I still like how much detail it showed of my trampoline though! 


My second attempt, I took my jacket off and tried again. I got a little clearer on the snowflake, but not as much as I had hoped.


Clayton and Cheyenne in the tree waiting for the snow to fall. 


Clayton sitting on a precariously thin branch (at least for his weight). 


Cheyenne loving the falling snow!


Trying to catch snowflakes. 



I have no idea...this just made me laugh!


Clayton throwing a snowball at Cheyenne.


Paige trying to avoid an imminent threat while Shelby watches.


Shelby on the trampoline.


Shelby jumping in the snow!


Snowball!


Clayton getting another snowball ready.


Cheyenne made a little snowman.

Bulls Eye!

Clayton was so excited to finally go on his first trip to Bulls Eye (an indoor range and gun shop). He enjoyed the opportunity to try out a .22 revolver, but can't wait to move on to a rifle instead.

Who I Am

My photo
We're the Presley family. Jon and I met and got married in 2004. The circumstances behind all that were not the best, but God has truly turned our many mistakes into good! Only by His grace and mercy are we where we are today. We have four wonderfully crazy kids that are between four and eight years old. Jon is an HVAC technician and I stay at home to attempt to teach and train our kids in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It's a challenging job, and one I fail at constantly. But God does and will continue to sustain and uphold me and give me grace to do this amazing task he's called me to do. ~For nothing is impossible with God! Luke 1:37
