Field trip and more soccer

 We visited an Alpaca farm with our Homeschool Field Trip group yesterday in a nearby town and learned so much! Then had our third soccer games of the season today.

Soccer Saturday and Baptism Day lunch

Game #2 for these kids. Sebastian scored 2 goals. I'm not sure about Cecilia, but she played 'til her cheeks were red and had tons of fun. So proud of them! Sebastian reminds me so much of Allia with his big strong kicks.

Then Austin, Sebastian and I met Lito for lunch as a belated baptism day treat for Sebastian since yesterday was so crazy. 

Track meet

 Stephen had his only in-town track meet this afternoon/evening. We had a crazy busy Friday, but most of us managed to make it to watch him. He did really well in his jumps this time.

Solar Eclipse Day!

 We had a busy morning of school and a co-op class but managed to make it home in time to view the eclipse. We stopped by the library before picking Anastasia up from her class, and they had a craft, eclipse themed snacks and even a few pairs of glasses per family, which was perfect since I had only bought a six pack. The weather was cloudy, but we kept getting glimpses here and there. Then the sky cleared briefly just in time to see it!

Mariana went on a big road trip with some friends to a place of totality. They had a great time and said it was really cool to experience!

Country Kids

There is just nothing like a dirt pile...they will spend hours playing together in it. Cecilia even entertained herself alone for over an hour out there. She is definitely a "country girl" and loves to be outside. I love the view from the front porch. It's my new favorite hang out spot (until summer at least!).

Soccer and Prom!

 We started the day out with 8am soccer games and ended with Gloria going to homeschool prom.

I sure love this beautiful girl!

New Tires!

 We knew the truck needed new tires when we bought it, but Gloria wanted to save up to get some nicer ones plus new rims. She was finally ready, and we were able to get them put on right before prom so she could go in style. Sadly, someone rear ended Austin on his way home from the tire shop, but at least it looks fancier from the side! :/
