The romantic side French braid

I'm such a girl, when left alone, what do I do? Play with my hair. Lol
I followed a step by step guide on you tube. She tucked her braid under, to make a short braided bob look. It was cute. I like the long braid hanging, personally.

Branching out

My son did not have plans, and he allowed Jehovah to guide him. He ended up working with a fun brother and they had a great time!!

Good association after a big spiritual meal

After meeting on sunday we all piled into the car and went to the park, for hours of fun association. Food, family, friends-- the dogs. It made the day so complete.

Out in the ministry with old friends

Some of our oldest friends came to town, and we made a day of it!

Cleaning for 6

Teaching the kids how to pick up after them selves, and a little more :) they both did a great job!!

Out in service with my son

Another great day out in the ministry.

Service

Another wonderful day out in service!!

My hair-- hairband

This was kind of tricky, but really pretty. I got the idea off the Internet, and it didn't turn out exactly like the ladies tutorial, any how, I'm wearing it out in service.

So I guess it's a French-braided-hair band-from - ear to ear. Lol

Cute summer jacket

Just finished this little jacket. It's adorable. Koral loves it.... Which means I will wear it once and it will end up in her room. :)

Home made lemon sorbet

This recipe was easy. It used up all the lemons in my yard, and the whole family said it was the best they ever had. I think it tasted amazing because it was sooo fresh. Either way, I will be making this again, very soon.

Ciabatta bread

Koral made a delicious ciabatta bread!!
It included a lot of patience and love. It required 18 hours of rising, 2 additional hours of rising and then 40 minutes of cooking. The results?! Beautiful! The crust "crunched" and the inside was bouncy and spongy, we ate it right out of the oven. What a wonderful treat to have in our home.

An Italian moment

It's not unusual for our home to smell of garlic and onions. But this dish came out especially good!!

After service

The children and I went out in service, and they begged me to go in the pool. It didn't take much convincing, since it's 85 degrees out. But I had a problem, we don't have a shady spot for mama to sit, or children as they to or fro--- so I told my son-- and we came up with a plan. Safty pins, blankets, sheets, clothes pins, push pins, 2 broom sticks, pipes and strawberry ice water-- and this is what we came up with! :)
So much fun.

BILLY

Billy made a great pasta salad.
:)

Simplest things make me happy

We have a very fruitful lemon tree, Koral made some wheat honey bread, my little squash plant made a little squashy poo, my little yellow tomato plant produced some fruitage. (happy!!) It's these little things that make me so happy. I am so happy our home is so loving and fruitful in so many ways!!

Some fun in the sun

Water play-- clean car-- happy kids--- happy mama--- everyone wins!

Graduation day

Our little man is getting bigger and bigger. He no longer attends elementary school, and is heading to the big J-R! Can you tell he's loved?

Making the most out of each day

This is just the tip of the Ice burg!!
No, my kids are never in trouble because they don't have time to be in trouble!!! Pages of detailed ideas.... Creative outlets, spirituality, calendars etc.....

I wonder if Martha stewart would be proud? Lol

Busy little bee

My little artist....
Or my bad little girl....
Depending how far she got without my knowledge. :)

Learning faces

Today we learned about faces: Bella show me Happy--- now show me Sad.
Lol!! So much fun!!

My, what a cute butt you have!

I'm talking about the little one, the big one is pretty cute too. Lol were shopping for a new fishing pole, and I look up and all kinds of adorable is staring me in the face!!! I love my husband!!!
