frugal summer fun.

that should be this summers theme. "frugal summer fun".with no job and not even any real prospects, we try to fill our days with things that cost 0 dollars.
i found this project in a book. i thought, well the kids will think it is fun. I was right. we had everything that we needed except for the paint brushes. I am sure you are thinking...what you guys don't have paint brushes, well we do, but not the kind that we want the kids to use on the cement. so i ran to dollar tree real quick and bought three. I came home, mixed up the fun and got out of the way.all this project consisted of was water and food coloring. when it rains or you use your hose, it comes right off and they have a blank slate to work with again! the kids loved it. next time I will use a little more food coloring because some of the colors did not come out as vibrant as I would have liked but you live and learn.it was so much fun garran and I even got in on the fun!!! it was the perfect day for some cement paining!!

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
