home-made fun~

today was kind of just a regular day.
i was up all night with a very fussy baby. garran had run to the store to pick up some things with the boys while i took a little nap, to kind of catch up on some sleep.
when they got back i had seen a fun little thing in a magazine and thought my boys would think it would be fun to try.
so we headed out side and gave it a try!
its called the bubble snake. it is super easy to make from things you would find in your house and the kids thought it was pretty cool!

this is all it is. a bottle, wash cloth, rubber band and soap. simple things = hours of fun.

here is garran showing the boys how it works.i thought that it looked fun so i gave it a try. the boys really liked it but did not get that you had to keep blowing to have the bubbles get really long. they thought it was more like actually blowing bubbles.cullan tried for a while.kael decided to hunt for bugs. he is always bringing me bugs to look at. any of you that know me well know just how excited i am to see the bugs. =0} (if you look closely there is some kind of little bug on his finger.)briea was being so sweet. she was just hanging out. she really liked the bubbles. she thought they were great. i actually got the boys to hold still for a minute to take a picture with me. gotta love my flat nap hair! oh well. its real life. that is what my hair looks like fresh from a nap and up in a clip.oh yeah and that weird white stuff is bubbles. cullan had just blown a bunch and they flew in my hair.after bubbles the boys thought it would be fun to roll down the hill for a while in the back yard. it was so funny to watch them roll all over the place. sometimes they would just roll right over each other. they were laughing and enjoying being outside. sorry about the next few photos. i went a little overboard with taking pictures of them having so much fun.i love the look on kaels face. he is mid-roll and loving it!starting at the top again.kael was wondering why cullan was still at the top of the hill. they were supposed to roll down together.garran and his girl.garran and his original girl. before a cute bald girl moved in. =0)im not sure why kael was grumpy-but i still thought he looked so cute i would just add it on the end.

hope everyone is enjoying summer as much as we are!

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
