Baking Bread and Rainbows

I decided to try one of my mom's money saving ideas. Bake my own bread. So, the house smells great, I'm feeling really domestic and who doesn't love fresh bread? Well, we really love fresh bread. I'm finding that we go through it so quick that my two loaves recipe has to be made every other day to keep up. What the? So, our house smells great every other day. :)

A quick moving, but heavy summer storm brought us a double rainbow.

Lastly, I'm not ready to talk about it yet, so don't ask. But, my worst fears have come true. Please keep me and my little family in your prayers.

Play-Do

We finally had time to pull out the Play-Do that Grandma Clark made for the kids in February! It was messy, but we got creative. We rolled it out and used cookie cutters, cups and canning lids to make fun shapes. We also sculpted cars, houses and little men. Tanner loved pulling little pieces off one at a time and squishing them back together again.

These pictures are a little old, but I ran across them on my camera and wanted to post them. This is of when we took the kids to Discovery Gateway. We had a blast!

Stay At Home Mom-Day 1

Awesome! I am so grateful for today. I soaked up every little, unimportant moment. I took the kids for a walk and let them take their time to find new discoveries. We came home and drew pictures of what we found. We drew things like ants, butterflies, birds and potato bugs. I got help cleaning the house from my incredible husband and sweet little girl. We even cleaned out the fridge (much needed). I also got some grocery shopping done and now we have food in the house. We had time for family night, another walk, play time in the yard and family scripture study. The best part of it was how happy everyone was, especially Aine. She wasn't wild, uncontrollable Aine today. She was happy, busy Aine. I love this! Please Heavenly Father let everything work out so I can continue to be at home with my kids! I am in heaven right now! Please pray for us.

Last Day

Yesterday was my last official day of work at Priority Dispatch. I've still got a little work that I will be doing from home for them for a little while, but I'm going to be home now. Here we go!
