"Come what may, and love it!......Yet in spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a result." ~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Exciting indeed!

Nightgowns and Popsicles

I think nightgowns are stinkin' cute on little girls. The down side to that is that they don't make any (that aren't super duper expensive) without a toxic flame retardant on them. So, I made my own. Don't look too close. ;)

The popsicle? It has avocado, coconut milk, dates, vanilla, pinch of salt, and stevia. It taste oh so good!

Tea party with Dad

Today Hannah and Dad had a tea party. I think it was a first for both.
Love it!

Meet Gunny.

Gunny is a guy (bag) that comes and eats toys and clothes that little kids don't clean up. He hides at the top of mom and dad's closet. On Saturday he reguritates the toys and clothes briefly so kids can claim their belongings. If they're not picked up they are assumed not wanted and get to go to the D.I.  Got the idea from The Entitlement Trap by Richard and Linda Eyre.

Today it rained

That's a big deal in the desert!

Independents Day

We went to grandma and grandpas house. The cousins had matching outfits (too cute). Grandpa let the little boys take apart old motors and things and make fun experiments. They LOVED it!!! The day ended with a few fireworks at our friends house and watching the big city fireworks from afar. It was a late night and everyone was tired. Asher didnt feel good today. Poor little guy. Happy 4th!

Pickles and such

Today Heath brought home cucumbers from the garden and wanted me to pickle them. I admit with todays craziness, I didn't want to. I did it anyway and now that its done I'm glad.

We went swimming this morning. The boys are getting very comfortable in the water. Then a trip to the library to get books, movies, and to see grandma. I have to admit I was really excited that Noah wanted a science movie and book. The other day he told me he wanted to be a scientist and I'm down with that.

Hannah is such a girly girly. She has started putting her hands on her hips lately and she loves anything pink. Her vocab has really taken off.

The other day I asked Asher if he liked my hair. He said,"yea, but I like your face better."  Love that kid :)

Here's the pickles.

The most soap in one day

70 some odd bars of soap in one day! The most ever, a new record...you can call me the queen of soap. Although Noah says I'm queen of the toilet??? Not sure why...anyway
