My 365...

Breakfast in bed, that is how this day started.  Blake decided he wanted to make breakfast this morning, and brought me up an egg basket.  That is our favorite breakfast around here.  A bed of hash browns, with a over medium egg on top.  It was a nice surprise, and he did a beautiful job on the dish.  Thank you Blake.

Home school is winding down with today being the official final day of K12 Idaho Virtual Academy.  As always, I sign the boys up for continued studies through the summer.  Nothing too drastic, just a "work at your own pace" math and language to keep their skills sharp.  It will be the last home school sessions we do as well as they are both going to traditional school next year.  Casey for his senior year, and Blake for grade 5.  They are excited!

Home schooling is very rewarding and a lot of work.  It is not easy at all.  The scheduling is good, as you make your own, but it is a huge responsibility.  I am happy to have had the experience, and I know the boys are as well, but I am also happy to leave the task to the professionals!  The unsung heroes of our world...teachers.

Tonight we enjoyed a 14 mile bike ride down the Boise river.  I learned a valuable lesson too...never attempt that much exercise with very little food in your stomach.  That last half mile I started to feel chilled and shaky even though the temp was in the 80's.  My body was definitely mad at me...but we made it home okay.  :)

My photos of the day...

Ready to roll.
People tell me I need more pictures of Casey.  This is why I don't have many...he gets so mad at me when I pull out the camera!  Mister tough guy.  :)
 Blake and daddy.
 Rainbow trout anyone?
 So cute.  :)
 Too cool for an owl photo.
 Hello little gold fish.
 This fowl looks surprised to see me.  lol

 Never too cool to play at the playground.
 Daddy and Casey.
 Three ducks showing us their best side...tails up!
 Blake loves photos.
 Kayakers on the river...
 ...and a couple of surfers too.
