Your Little Ones Do Understand

For FHE this past week, we did our lesson on Gratefulness. We had our song, prayer, scripture, and then lesson. For the lesson, Bo and I shared something we were grateful for. Then we asked Nay what she was grateful for. She didn't get what we had asked of her, so Bo and I continued to share things we were grateful for. I feel that if I my kids feel the Spirit, the lesson isn't a total bust. But we soon realized, Laneah did get our lesson! (It just took some time) Every night since, for our family scripture study, Laneah would stick in a little plug about something new she was grateful for! It made us so happy!  I am so glad that she was not only able to feel the Spirit but that she DID learn from the lesson I had prepared :)

New Diet For The Next 9 Months :)

Pickles and Ice Cream :) That's right, that is baby #3 floating to the right! :)

I'm A Cannin and Food Processin

Earlier this week, we got a food processor and canning supplies. I have made homemade peanut butter (Just peanut butter and pulsed until smooth) it is super healthy and nummy! I have also made raspberry jam (Thrive raspberries and sugar) there are no preservatives! Because I canned them, they are good for a year anyways! I have also canned cuties (Also good for a year)! You just can't get me out of the kitchen lately :P

Updates!

Bo: Is doing great his last semester so far! He has got all A's and B's :)

Laneah: She has been so good at making her bed (with help) and cleaning her room (with help) that we decided to make her a chore chart where if she makes her bed every morning and cleans her room every night for a week, shown by stickers on a chart, we will take her to the Dollar Tree and let her pick out EITHER one toy or one candy :) She just got through her first week with flying colors!

Rhycherd: Is what I call "day" potty trained! We started less than a week ago, but this little boy already wears underwear all day, except for naptime, and tells us everytime he needs to go potty before he does in his underwear AND it's on the BIG potty! He still wears a diaper to bed as well, but I seriously do NOT care changing only 2 diapers a day :)

Me: I have had this homemaking bug lately. I have been making all our bread from scratch and making our cookies from scratch as well. Oh my goodness, last night I made cherry-chocolate chip cookies.... DIVINE!!!

Of course, God just showing us His hand in all things :)

Life is wonderful!

Homemade Fruit Snacks

I tried my first batch of homemade fruit snacks today! (Thank you Pinterest)

1 cup of juice
3 tbs of Knox gelatin
1 tbs honey (optional)

Heat up juice and honey and slowly add gelatin until fully dissolved. Pour into mold or square pan. Put in fridge for 1 hour until solid.

They didn't turn out too bad! They tasted a little too bland so I will add the optional honey next time. But the kids have loved them!
