Number 4 is on the way.

Should be here around June 28th. That is right K's birthday.

Attempt at homemade cheese

I tried to make homemade cheese and it worked pretty good. Maybe after another try or two it will be better. But I do have to say it helped the store baught cheese go farther so that was a plus.

Ready for Halloween

What cute kids, all in their black and orange!

Look how our garden grew!

We had a pretty plentiful garden, both with the vegatables and the snakes-I could have died with these pests!

It worked the first time!

I attempted to make homemade yogurt and it actually worked the first time. I had to change the water it was sitting in the cooler, but it worked I am so excited. It was hard to believe how easy it was. It was made from non instant powdered milk, which is cheaper than milk and instant milk, and I coudln't even taste the powdered milk taste. This is the base also for sour cream, so now I can make my own sour cream too. My next trial will be homemade cheese. wish me luck.

What a Wonderful Weekend

What a great opportunity we had this weekend to listen to General Conference. I really enjoyed listening to the prophet and the leaders of the church. I am so glad to know that we have a living prophet on the earth today to teach us and to guide us. I know that I came away from conference with a stronger testimony, with things I need to work on, with greater understandings, and with a feeling of love and comfort. I love this gospel!

Both in School

H and J are now in school at the same time twice a week. I gives me a nice little break with just K (who, at that time, is sleeping). I have numerous projects and things to do during that time, we will see what gets done. They are both loving school and look forward to every morning. I hope they continue their excitement for school. We have been having issues with our computer and finally got it fixed-it's called a new computer. Now we better not have issues for awhile. Last night I went to a milk class on how to use dry milk. It was great! We learned a lot of things. How to make yogurt, sour cream, soft cheeses, hard cheese, etc. I am excited to try it all. It all seems really easy. It's always fun taking a class with a friend, too, thanks Emily for going with me, hope it was useful to you. I will let you know how the recipes go.

First Day of School

J first day of school was on wednesday. I can't believe it, he is getting so big, he even didn't want me to take him to school the first day he wanted to ride the bus. Yah, that was a hard one! He is loving it and loving being so big. I hope that he is always this enthusiastic about learning and school.

A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words
