Birthdays, Dedications and a New Business, OH MY!!

Where have we been?!?! March was a very busy month. Dave and I celebrated our anniversary (12 years!), Josiah turned 5, Caleb participated in Mount Hope's Social Studies Fair, Jonas was dedicated at church and we ended the month with the boys participating in their first Grand Prix Race with Awana. Yup, busy.
Then along came April...so far the busiest part of April was Easter but we are gearing up for a busy couple of weeks as the boys begin the T-ball season and I get a chance to attend homeschool convention for the weekend which I am very much looking forward too.
I have also started a new venture. I am now a Thirty-One consultant! Thirty-One is a faith-base company (its name comes from Proverbs 31) that sells purses, totes and storage products all in quite fashionable designs! I was introduced to the company a couple years ago by a friend and really like the products. I use a lot of them to keep our house organized (to the best of my ability with 4 kids!). I decided why not and try to make a little extra money selling them. So off I go! I have already had 2 parties and 6 more on the horizon. It's exciting and fun! Check out my website if you want to know more about the company. www.mythirtyone.com/sandralibby.
Here are some pics to capture the last couple of months!



Our little man. He has truly given us an eventful month by keeping us up most nights. For a stretch of 2-3 weeks he was up every hour at night. I took him to the doctor (because frankly, I was going crazy!) and she did diagnose him with acid reflux (just like the other 3). He is on medication and it truly seems to be helping. He is still up at night but not nearly as much and he settles back to sleep much quicker now and his naps are getting longer too. THANK YOU LORD!!!


What do you think? Is he ready for homeschooling next year or what????


Look, he is even reading!!!!


This child still can't believe the things this family does to him. I think he looks absolutely adorable. We will totally have this picture up at his wedding someday!


That's my girl...finding those Easter eggs filled with chocolate anywhere and everywhere! Yup, she spotted that egg in the tire!


Easter morning was a bit busy to pull together but here we are.



Caleb's Diarama project. The assignment was to choose one Native American tribe to learn about and create a diarama to depict their home. He did an amazing job and kept coming with great ideas to add to it. I really only had to help with the glue gun!


Caleb was so proud of his project and as well he should have been. He did great! He loves doing projects like this. Those are his favorite homeschooling days.

Caleb set his diarama up in Isaac's first grade classroom.


I can't believe that Josiah is 5! We had the most fun camping party for him. Complete with smore pancakes, a crackling fire in our firepit and camp activities which of course included marshmellow shooting (you know, for archery!) It was a blast and the kids all had a great time!


Auntie Lauren once again did an AMAZING job on the cake. It was all edible except for a couple of twigs. She is so talented and continues to amaze me. She said she was actually holding onto this idea for awhile waiting for one of the kids to have a camping party.


Jonas' dedication day


Jonas Rico Libby...dedicated to the Lord on March 25, 2012


At one point, the boys cars had to race each other...Caleb's won.


Josiah and his "treasure truck". For some reason he wanted a treasure box attached in the bed of the truck.


Caleb was QUITE happy to win 2nd place for design in his age group. He made a submarine car.
