Especially for Carol

It was a little chilly on Saturday night and I took the opportunity to let Jesse wear the beautiful jersey Carol made for him.  Thanks again Carol!!

Aidan the director.

Aidan was so cute tonight.  We had an impromptu sing-along concert after scripture reading and Aidan was telling everyone who they should be.  I was Mary, Orin was the angel, Kyle was the donkey and then he said, "Dad you can be Joseph and build a carpet because Joseph was a carpenter."  It was so hard not to laugh too much!

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.
