Finally my blog is set up!

This took forever to find my blog Home. Here it is and I can finally start blogging. This will be a place for me to post pictures, write family journals, share joys and the cute little things the kids do and say so that I can share with family and friends.
Here goes!!
Today was a busy day for me. I needed to help DH get his new truck licenced, registered and insured. Called the insurance, found out where to get it registered, etc.
The new dryer was delivered, it has been like a Chinese laundry in the family room, with clothes strung every where. I am so glad to be able to do my laundry again the normal way. We have decided to start cloth diapers on BooBoo, he's doing great. I made some of them myself from various patterns I found on the web. I may share some of them later. I had to revise and modify a bit, but boy are they cute! We have been constantly blessed by God with so many little things, I cut these diapers out of the enormous pile of receiving blankets I got for baby shower gifts. When I got so many, I thought, wow, we only need 2 or 3. Now I have used each one to make 4 diapers each. What a blessing! Also the wife of a friend who works with DH gave us a box of baby boy clothes, most of them too small, (I have a firend who they will go to) but in the box, was a new diaper bag, and a brand new package of cloth diapers. Another huge blessing.
We decided to go with cloth in an effort to reduce the grocery bill. by making my own diapers and my own reusable wipes, I should save about $1500 a year. WOW!
We are also trying to potty train SweetBoy, but he can be terribly stubborn. Preferring a pullup or diaper to "big boy pants" the little rascal.
More later, BooBoo is up and needs Momma.

Sprouted Whole Wheat Bread

  Whole Wheat Bread-THM Style 2 loaves I have been in the kitchen since I was able to stand on a chair next to my mother. She was my 4-H leader from age 9, and I learned all of my kitchen skills from her.   She was an excellent baker, canning aficionado and superb chef.   Both of my parents felt, as I do, that homemade is best—homegrown even better. We raised chickens, turkeys, beef cattle, rabbits and a large garden of produce to feed my brothers and sisters.   We all had certain tasks during one of our “putting up” sessions.   Mother was always telling me to be refined, and stop acting like the boys. LOL I had four brothers and two sisters, I think the masculine influence always outnumbered the feminine. We were a large family and we would buy large quantities of whole grains to turn into flour with the grain mill in the basement.   It stood on three legs with a heavy bag underneath to catch the warm flour as it came through

4-H Modeling and the Wardrobe Malfunction

Sincerely 'fro me to you and Vintage Thingies Thursday ! Kristen over at We are THAT family has a blogging carnival going on Thursdays, and she asked for bloggers to share a story from our past, something that won't probably make it into a scrapbook because we can't find our crinkle-cut scizzors or some mouse peed on the pictures or whatever reason. Apron Queen also has a carnival goin on called Vintage Thingies Thursday, I thought since I am so good at multi-tasking, I'd roll two posts into one and call this story both; an embarrassing story from my past as well as vintage. Now if you think that those bangs aren't vintage, and that, "Oh My! Would you look at that zipper!" I don't know what is! So, this is my story... Fall 1978, it was the beginning of my modeling “career.” It all began at the Western Idaho Fair, on the exhibitor’s building main stage, or rather behind the main stage. There I was waiting for an absolutely dreamy Junior Future Farmers

We have orders

We picked up Bear's orders yesterday at the Chaplain's School. We took a very slow walk about 1/4 mile to the school, and found them with one of the school secretaries. We started the process of getting Bear's flight home on the 15th. Then we came back to the room and called the airline which I was to fly with. I did miss my flight, (it was on Monday) but they allowed us to leave the ticket open and reschedule once we get Bear's flight information from the army. Thank you, Lord!! Bear and I were praying hard while we were on the phone talking with Expedia and then the airline. I thought there was no way to recoup any of that lost ticket, shows you what the power of prayer can do. He is doing an Army correspondence training right now at the Chaplain's School library, another couple of Chaplains were doing it, and needed another brain thrown into the mix to figure out some of the questions. He is feeling better, can move around more easily, but is still moving slowly
