We have had the BEST day!!! 💦☀️🍧

Today we celebrated our amazing kids with water slides, snow cones, laughter, and so many sweet memories as we wrapped up our first school year together! Watching these children grow, learn, and shine has been one of the greatest blessings. 🩵

A huge thank you to our Mr. Luke for making today extra special with the water slide and snow cones!! And thank you to our precious neighbors, Heather & Jason, for surprising the kids with an extra slide! We are so thankful for the kindness and love they show our school. ❤️

A special thank you as well to the Knapp family with 5K Inflatables & 5K Freeze for helping make today so fun and memorable for our kids! 🍧💦

It truly takes a village, and we are beyond grateful for everyone who pours into these sweet kids. Today was full of joy, love, laughter, and memories we will cherish forever!

Save this for a fun activity this summer!! ☀️🌋✨

Homemade lava lamps are such a fun and easy science experiment for kids — and you probably already have everything at home!

🧪 What You Need:

• Bottle of water
• Food coloring
• Vegetable oil
• Alka-Seltzer tablets

🧪 How To Make It:

1. Fill your bottle about 1/3 full with water.
2. Add a few drops of food coloring.
3. Slowly pour in vegetable oil until the bottle is almost full. Watch the oil and water separate!
4. Break an Alka-Seltzer tablet into pieces and drop one in.
5. Sit back and watch your lava lamp bubble and flow! 🌈✨

The kids absolutely loved this hands-on science activity, and it was a great way to learn while having fun!

Our kinder babies officially finished their math curriculum, and we could not be more proud of them!
Watching them learn, grow, and work so hard this year has been such a joy. They have accomplished so much, and we are celebrating every single one of them today!

Mrs. Mami has done such an incredible job with these little ones. We are so thankful for the patience, love, and dedication she pours into our babies every single day. They are so blessed to have her! 🤍

We asked our kids what they want to be when they grow up… and their answers were everything from sweet to hilarious to inspiring. 🩷✨

From big dreams to little hearts full of hope, it’s such a blessing to hear the world through their eyes. We’re so thankful to be part of these moments as they grow, learn, and dream big. 🙏🌿

They may be small, but their dreams are mighty. 💫

There is nothing sweeter than hearing one of our kids pray for his friends, family, our school, and this rain the Good Lord is blessing us with. Moments like these remind us just how faithful God is and how precious these little hearts truly are.

Thank you, sweet Tucker, for leading us in prayer today. What a blessing you are! ✨

Donuts with Dad this morning since we won’t be in school for Father’s Day! 🍩💙

Our hearts are so thankful for every dad, grandpa, and father figure who pours love, wisdom, and encouragement into these children. Whether you were able to join us today or not, your presence in their lives matters more than words can say.

There is something so special about watching godly men lead with love, patience, strength, and faith. We pray these children always know the comfort of a father’s love and the blessing it is to have someone guiding them toward the Lord.

“The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.” Proverbs 20:7 🤍

Our morning circle was a little smaller than usual today. Many of our kiddos are spending sweet time with their families for the summer, and some just needed a little break after all the hard work of testing season 💛

Even with a smaller circle, the prayers were just as powerful and God’s word was just as strong. There is something so special about gathering together each morning — slowing down, praying over one another, and starting our day centered on faith, love, and gratitude.

We are so excited to kick off summer with these sweet kids and continue making memories together here on the farm 🌿☀️

An old quilt. A shade tree. A cool breeze. Cows mooing in the distance. Birds chirping.

One-on-one learning outside on the farm is something truly special.. just quiet moments spent learning together under the shade tree while the world slows down around us.

Some of the sweetest lessons happen right here on an old quilt with fresh air filling our lungs and God’s creation all around us. Thank you, Lord, for peaceful days, eager little minds, and the blessing of learning outside. 📚📝☀️🌾

For over 3 months during our morning prayer circle and prayer requests, Jesse faithfully asked for prayers for his Pop Pop who was in the desert. Today was such a special full-circle moment because Pop Pop is finally back home — and he came to spend the day with us here on the farm 💛

He brought back all kinds of items from the desert to show the kids, and they absolutely loved getting to listen to his stories, ask questions, and learn about his experiences there. The kids even got to learn about petrified wood and see pieces up close, which made the experience even more exciting and hands-on for them. Moments like this are such a gift to our children.

How special are we to have families willing to come spend their days with us, pour into our kids, and share pieces of their lives and experiences. These are the moments that make our little farm school feel so much like family 🌾

Enjoy these pictures from Pop Pop.
