I can't seem to keep caught up with these posts anymore. I did a good job through the middle of April, then I completely got messed up and haven't gotten back on track. Anyway, since it's not that terribly important anyway, I haven't worried too much about it. I just didn't want to get so far behind as to forget what weeks I'm supposed to be doing!


Shelby made a friend at the Trail Life camp out! Here she was just talking and talking to him when we were packing up to go home.


Monday was American Heritage Girl's messy game night. Paige did not want to play most of the messiest games, but she did play musical chairs (with plates full of shaving cream).


Cheyenne also enjoyed messy game night! She was one of the cleaner girls there since she also wanted to stay out of a couple of the messiest games. She still needed a bath when she got home though! 


A favorite pass time around here is Family Fluxx. The kids pull it out and play it on their own!


I noticed these beautiful flowers in our yard on Wednesday. I don't think we've had very many of these before, and they really popped out this year! 


Paige being goofy while we were reading a story before bedtime. Obviously I took a break from reading to take a couple pictures, and Paige was all giggly because of my many attempts to catch her smiling.


Paige and Shelby before the production of Wonderland and Into the Woods put on by Artios Academies. The play was wonderful and these two went home singing the songs from the plays for the next couple days! 


This isn't the clearest picture, but I just snapped a quick shot of Shelby in her bed Saturday afternoon. Naps are actually a rare thing anymore, and Shelby put herself to bed! I don't remember what all we had done earlier that day, but she was tired and went to bed.

I took so many pictures while camping that I decided to split it into two posts.


My sweet girls ready to go exploring.

Shelby


All the kiddos humoring me trying to take their picture.


A pretty spot on the far side of our campground. I love the reflection! 


Saturday morning we took a hike to Nancytown Falls. The sunlight was just lovely coming through the trees! 


Clayton ready to go hiking!


The sun through the leaves. 


Nancytown Falls up ahead! 


The falls.


Jon


Cheyenne playing with the lantern.


The kiddos (plus an extra or two) playing with glow sticks. I had fun playing with different settings on my camera trying to get the glowing movement! 


I finished out the month of April with more Scotty pictures. Then on May 1-3 we went camping with our Trail Life Troop (hence why this post is late again). 


Scotty enjoyed playing with the glowing balloons I had for the kids.


Scotty watching the turtles at the zoo with Shelby. (This was taken Tuesday, but since I skipped Monday, I added an extra one.) 


The kids always want their pictures taken on the lion statues, and Scotty didn't want to miss out.

 
Scotty meeting Anatole!

 
Scotty coming out of my camera bag for the last time. He was glad to no longer call this his bed and found another more comfy spot on my bookcase.


At Nancytown Campground with our Trail Life Troop, I took a bunch of pictures of all the things we did. I enjoyed playing with the light (or lack there of) in the evenings. 


The kids all loved playing with their glow sticks! And they humored me by standing in a line for a while, while I played with my camera trying to get some pictures of them. I love the way the camera captures the glow sticks (even in my much lacking skill here).

In May we went camping with Clayton's Trail Life troop to Nancytown Group Campground. The weather was wonderful and we had a great weekend! 


Within a few minutes of setting up camp, the girls made their way to the water. It was *freezing* but they insisted on playing in it for a little while (until they started to turn purple and I made them get out)!


Paige lounging out of the water.


Shelby on the swing someone set up.


My girls being silly!


Shelby rode her bike over and over and over again. She learned how to start pedaling on her own! 


Cheyenne and Paige walking around the campsite.


Cheyenne helping Shelby out of the water.


Jon took Clayton fishing in the lake. They didn't catch anything, but Clayton enjoyed it anyway! 


Cheyenne trying the slack line. She made it the whole way across and back without falling off!


Paige made it all the way across and back as well! 


Clayton had more trouble and fell off about halfway through.


Shelby made it the whole way across several times and enjoyed playing on it after the other kids had moved on to another activity!


Shelby laid herself down for a nap Saturday afternoon.


Paige walking Mr. Peabody. (For anyone that knows Paige, she is scared of dogs, so this is a really big deal that she warmed up to him enough to ask to walk the dog!)


Shelby found a friend to play ball with her (Mr. Stuckey)!


Paige fell asleep during dinner Saturday evening!

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
