Home Photo Shoot

New Blog

I have started a new blog. I am trying to post one photo a day. You can find the link in the top right hand corner under "365 photos"

Favorite photo from last week:

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Very dry, waiting for the first rains. All plants starting to bloom.

One of my simple pleasures:
Hanging up the washing with the smell of jasmine in the air


On my bedside table:
Box of tissues, scriptures and a children's story book

On my TV:
Bee movie

On the menu for tonight:
Toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches

On my To Do List:
Finish folding washing and sweep the floors. Rest

New Recipe I tried last week:
Microwave fudge. It was so good we had to try it three times more.


Looking forward to:
Logan coming home

Homemaking Tip for this week:
Always clean up children spills straight away otherwise they become dry and crusty and take double the time to clean up :-)

Jesse has his first cold

Last night Jesse woke up with an awful 'croupy' sounding cough. Even after having 4 children I can't stand the sound and it sends me into a panic. I couldn't even ask Logan to give Jesse a blessing because he was on patrol with the local Community Policing Forum from 2am -4am. So I took him to stand in the bathroom with the shower running. (Didn't really think about keeping the earth green when my child couldn't breathe).

This morning I took him to the doctor and all was fine. Let's see how tonight goes......

Bath Time

When Jesse was born he absolutely hated bathing. He would scream from the minute the first popper was unpopped until he was fully dressed again. Just 3 short months later and he is loving it!

Saturday morning with Dad

I went and got my hair cut on Saturday and Logan had to look after the children.

Spring arrives in Springs (ha ha I am so funny).

Kyle's Priesthood Ordination

Kyle became a Deacon on the 16th of August, 2009. It was a very proud moment for us.

Jesse's Blessing

As you can see, having all the folks over is hard work.

Awake:

Yawning:

Asleep:

Should have posted about this ages ago but time seems to run out very quickly with 4 children in the home!

Jesse received his name and blessing on Sunday 2nd August.

Today

I saw this on one of my favourite blogs "Chez Larson" and thought it would be fun to try.

Today...

Outside my window...A winter garden.

I am thinking...About the chocolate chip cookies in the oven. Mustn't forget them.
I am thankful for...A husband that helps me so much with the little ones.

From the kitchen...The cookies, but no supper yet. Better start that soon.

I am wearing...Denims, white long sleeved shirt and pink and white stripey sweatshirt and my Nikes.
I am creating...Finished some cushion covers yesterday. Guess that doesn't count.

I am going...To make supper and refold everything in the baby drawers.
I am reading...Captain Correlli's Mandolin

I am hoping...To get some sleep tonight :-)

I am hearing...The children are running around outside. They have just come to tell me that there are blossoms on the apricot tree.

Around the house...Started out tidy. Now it is a big mess.

One of my favourite things...The laptop my mom just gave me.
A few plans for the rest of the week...Baking, shopping for a baby shower, decluttering.
A picture to share...All I can say is that Blogger is driving me crazy. If anyone can tell me how to move a picture to where I want it, please TELL me!
