Tid Bits!!!

We went to Mt Vernon and toured George Washingtons home. I really enjoyed seeing things as they were back then. It makes history come alive.

The burial grounds of George and Martha Washington.

Inside the blacksmith shop on Washingtons farm. He was a farmer before he became a general and president.

David totally enjoyed the air and flight museums.

The Arlington national cemetary was a sobering sight.

We got to watch the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier.

A trip to our nations capital. Awesome!!! We did a tour of DC on a segway. It was a total blast. We are trying to figure out how we could utilize a segway on the farm. hahahah.

Bits and Pieces

Ashton was blessed this last Sunday. Great Grandma Gilbert had lots of fun talking to him. he seemed quite interested in what she had to say. Having her there was very special for Jason.

I was watching the kids one evening and we had fun making valentine surprises for their moms and dads.

In Preschool we had our Nursery Rhyme unit and I was the old women who lived in a shoe. We had Jack and Jill, the moon from Hey diddle diddle, two Mary Mary quite contrary's, a baker,a Little bo peep and others as usual it was lots of fun doing nursery rhymes.

Brycen celebrated his 1st birthday. he liked the cupcake but wasn't to sure about the candle and fire. he got his own little recliner chair from his Grandma and Grandpa Fitzhugh, and he new exactly what to do with it.

I made a little quilt for Abigaile, nothing fancy, just something with lots of pink.
