Keeping Busy!

So July is always full of fun things to do. We had fun for the 4th. This year was just our family and we had fun together. We went to a parade and then to the new Spiderman Movie. (We came home and Jeffery put on his costume and didn't take it off for days. I finally had to mention that washing it would only take an hour.) It was too dry to have fireworks where we live so we drove to the top of a hill that over looked the surrounding towns and we were able to get a pretty good show.

We did sneak some sparklers in... the kids loved it.

Having Fun in the Yard

We love being in our yard. We have a garden and a little swing set for the kids. Sometimes the kids get so tired from playing so hard that they crash in interesting places.

A few days ago the kids decided to make their own teepee and it was very creative. Being a kid is so much fun!

Jeffery's Birthday!

I can't believe that my little boy is SIX years old. He was so excited to have his birthday.

The Move...

So it has been a long time since I've been on here. We moved and I have kept saying I'll do that later and here it is 2 months later. I really can't believe how fast time flies by.
We are loving our new home. Jeff's new job is so great. We are so blessed to have this opportunity. We started looking for a job because for Jeff to licence were we were, he would have had to go back to school. So we were blessed to be able to find a job where he wouldn't have to do more schooling and it has been so wonderful. He works 8 to 5 and is usually off friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is such a difference. We found a house to rent and it has a great yard for kids.
We will miss the friends and fun we had at our last place. There were a lot of great memories and friends that we made. These were a few of the last adventures the kids had...

 I am making quilts for the kids and my mom has been a great help in getting me going. It will be fun to see the end result of our hard work.

We found out Jeff got the job and we had to find a place right away. I know we were watched over and directed to where we needed to be. We found this three days later and moved in a week later. It was supper fast. We had some great neighbors come and help us load the truck and before I could think about getting the camera out, they had it loaded. It took less than 2 hours. We were so grateful for their help.

We made it!

It was a fast two weeks and we were so glad that we made it and we were met with helping hands that had the truck unloaded in a little over an hour. SUPER-Sonic fast, as Miley would say. Thank you to everyone that help make it all possible. We are so grateful.

Fun Stuff to do

When you are stuck inside you have to get creative about things to do and the kids thought this project was pretty cool playing red light green light with. They lasted a few days and in the end they were pretty much totaled.

 

Then we did an experiment in the microwave with Ivory soap.... It was so cool. We watched it float in water and then grow in the micowave. Don't ask me why.

Speaking of soap... I made soap, a all natural homemade soap. It was so cool and I loved it. I am making more and I am even going to make lotion.

Miley helped me by shaving down the edges and when I found her she had reduced the size of two bars of soap by a fourth.
Check out her hair too. I have been fighting a battle that I decided to stop today....There were a few tears shed but in the end both parties were at peace.  We started with Jeffery's new look. Wow!

They turned out awesome and they look so great. It really is a life saver knowing how to cut hair. So that is our life in a few brief minutes. Life is great when you have these cute faces to see everyday.

Foot Zone Therapy

I have started a class that has been one of the greatest experiences. I love learning foot zoning and what it can do for people and what it can do for me. I have been able to see things from a new perspective and see what potential we have as children of God. I am so excited to keep learning and growing and I have already seen a difference in my family and it is so great. I love being a mom and I feel stronger than ever that I can be the mom my Father in Heaven wants me to be. I just wanted to share what excitement I have been feeling. Thanks for taking the time to see what our family is up to and know that we love you!
