Day 16




June 22nd, 2012

Friday

Today we had a gleaners pick up.  Paul brought us a whole box of ripe bananas.  I was going to throw most of them out but Jenea suggested we dehydrate them - so I recruited Jolie and Jadon to help me.  It was a great suggestion, they turned out wonderfully! 

Day 15



June 21st, 2012

Thursday

Today I bought a brush for Mia's fur.  It gets everywhere!  She really enjoys being brushed by Jenea. 

Day 14



June 20th, 2012

Paul recently set up our swing.  The children LOVE climbing on it, which I discourage of course.  Here is a rare moment they are using it as it's intended to be used.

Day 13



June 19th, 2012

Tuesday

Jude HATES taking naps even though he NEEDS them.  Often I'll put him down for nap just to go in his room and find him out of bed playing with toys.  Today he snuck upstairs and I found him sleeping here curled up on this chair.

Found this message on the fridge today. It really applies to our families life this year - it's full of miracles, which we are VERY grateful for!

Today is Fathers-day.  Paul had to make his own dinner because I'm sick, besides that, I have no idea how to cook stake.

Jenea spends hours in her room reading the cat warrior books - making lists of the cat warrior clans and drawing the cat warriors.

Jadon and Jolie like to play dress-up together.  Princess Jadon escaped to take a ride on his scooter - out front, in front of the whole neighborhood. 

Day 8

Jadon got into my black nail polish and decided to paint his own toes.  Good thing I caught him when I did.

Tonight instead of swimming we took our family to a park.  They brought their bikes and scooters.  I got my walk in. 

Day 5



June 11th, 2012

Monday

My children really enjoy playing with silly puddy.  They enjoy it so much I find it stuck to walls, tables, the floor, and their clothing and hair.  Sometimes I have to wonder at my sanity allowing them to play with the stuff. 

Day 4



June 10th, 2012

Sunday

It was a beautiful sabbath.  After church we went to the temple and took a tour of the grounds and the new visitors center.  Funny thing is the missionary couple who gave us the tour happened to know Paul's paternal grandparents.  They were in their ward in Coos Bay for several years.  Small world it is in the church.

Tonight we all slept over at Grandma and Grandpa Grahams.  They watched the children while Paul and I went to the temple.    

Day 2

Tonight just after I got the children to bed we lost power.  That was the end of bed time.  We got out the flash lights and hung out for about 45 minutes till the lights went back on.  We still don't know what caused the outage.

I did not take a picture today so I thought I'd post another picture from our Wildlife Safari trip.  This is Jolie, Jude and Jaren getting ready to get on the old school bus to ride to the bear encounter.   This was all of my children's very first ride on a school bus.

Jolie and the little neighbor girl Shayla were playing with sidewalk chalk.  Jadon slipped in it, then Shayla  decided to "chalk" Jadon even more.  He was pretty upset about it; but he did get a bath because of it, which he LOVES.
