Week 1 of Summer Fun

In primary the kiddos got seeds to plant....Faith is like seed when nurtured it will grow.

Trenton loves to take pictures.

Grinding wheat on a Friday night is what we call fun!!!

Having breakfast for Dinner.

We love German pancakes. I was making them and realized I didn't have any flour so I used my pancake mix...They turned out great!

My cousin hosted a glitter toe party and Lilly and I got our toes done!!!

The kiddos and I had a water balloon fight. (WARNING: you will see Trenton in this swimming suit.....A LOT)

Late night

So I stayed up late finishing the book, Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay. I just couldn't put it down I just had to know the ending.

I was so moved by this book. I knew nothing about the Vel' d' Hiv' roundup.

I started to cry on page 9 and many more times throughout the book. This book plays an all your emotions.

I highly suggest giving this book a read.

Borrowed Light by Carla Kelly

Divergent By Vericona Roth.....What I have heard, this book is comparable to the Hunger Games.

HATE/LOVE

Deacon received this barnyard moon dough set for Christmas.

This is the third time they have played with it.

Deacon has asked many times to play with it....MANY TIMES.

The moon dough is super fun to play with and keeps them busy for a while.

The fact is that I HATE TO CLEAN it up. The dough gets everywhere and is very difficult to gather up.

I have a love/hate relationship with moon dough.

Watermelon Fun

The kiddos love watermelon. They even love watermelon more when it looks like a Shark.

15 and a half inch Hair Cut

I felt it was time to cut my hair. I have been growing my hair for 3 and half years now.

Kelsey asked Clinton if he wanted to be the one cutting my hair but he said no. It was some what traumatizing to go from super long hair to super short hair. HOWEVER I feel much better knowing that my hair will go to Locks of Love....all 15 and a half inches.
