Mommy's Little Helper

Who says home ec is just for girls? ;) Caelum loves to be my helper in the kitchen, and one of his favorite things to do is dig his hands into the granola! :)

Groovy Cuts for Kids...

...that was the name of the kids' salon we went to, and had a pretty good time.

Caelum's Date

Just a few pics from my awesome date with the cutest little redhead I know! :)

The Three Trees

We have been learning about Teddy Roosevelt's childhood, and the kids discovered that Teedy, as he was called then, and his two sisters, used to call themselves "We Three." So Aile, Brenner, and Caelum started calling themselves "We Three" also. :) Then they were so excited to find a cluster of three trees in a grassy area, which they dubbed "We Three Trees", and have since had a blast using it as their special meeting place. It is also a place Aile loves to go for quiet to read.

Family Fun Day in Denison

March 25, 2012: Today we went to the birthplace of Dwight Eisenhower. Yes, we went to his family's home and toured the grounds, but we also explored the town and it's unique nature and dam that crosses over into Oklahoma. We had a wonderful time discovering interesting cliffs and pools of water in the state park. We took pictures in the fields of flowers surrounding the dam before watching the dam be opened. We crossed over into Oklahoma just so we could say we'd been there. ☺ Then we toured Eisenhower's childhood home and learned quite a bit about his family and him as a man and president. We even got some letterboxing in! Yay! It was a great family togetherness day!

Fun on the Sabbath Day!

March 24, 2012: Oh, what a beautiful day! Great church service, fabulous weather outside for a picnic, and singing at the nursing home with friends! We feel refreshed!

Reminder of God's Promises

Saw this this evening!
