Summer Arts and Crafts

-

We've been busy filling our summer with lots of arts and crafts, music, and baking.  It's a fun time of year to explore new hobbies and interests and make a yummy treat.  I'm so glad we can do such fun things in the summer time. 

Rebekah is working on perfecting her bread making skills.  She made yummy garlic biscuits and this amazing, beautiful chocolate babka. 
Slime making has become a popular craft/science experiment around here.  I have some professional slime makers around here.  

Maeve has been working on costume creation skills.  She invented a new cosplay category called Fluffers.  She's had fun writing up the rules and guidelines and costume ideas for her fluffers group.  
No summer would be complete without a super awesome piano recital for Maeve and Owen.  They did a great job.  I'm so proud of them for working hard to develop their musical talents.  They are awesome musicians. 


Just because, check out this pretty pre-teen we have on our hands.  Maeve is such a cutie, inside and out!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

We Returned to a Blessing

We came home to a HUGE blessing. Our house is still here and didn't sustain much damage. We just have to rebuild a portion of our fence and clean up dead branches and we are good to groove again. We don't have power yet, but I anticipate that it will come online soon. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I know the Lord greatly blessed us on this one. We came home and made sure we gave a prayer of thanks for His mercy on us. We hope we can get out there and start helping folks who didn't fair as well as we did soon. Here are some pictures of our home:
