Good Times

The past week has flown by. We have shown our house 4 times but unfortunately no one has shown interest in buying it.
Jennifer leaves for church youth camp tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. She always has so much fun at camp. She will be gone till Saturday. Next month she will be going to Youth Conference, she is very excited about that because this will be the first year she is old enough (14 years old) to go. I loved the theme, "Book of Mormon Adventure". I think it sounds like so much fun. It reminds me of some of the exciting book of mormon novels that LDS authors have written.
My family website idea is a great hit so far. The kids work on their sites almost everyday. Jennifer wants hers to be further along before she publishes it but Adam is publishing his work as he goes. It is quite interesting to sit back and see the things they are interested in. I really like it because I have had some great insights into their personalities.
Yesterday I started reading "Little House in the Big Woods" to Rachel. I thought it would be a fun book because of pioneer day in July. I was a little reluctant to start a long chapter book with her because she just turned five and I didn't think she would be able to sit long enough to enjoy it but I was wrong and am very happy I gave it a try because she loves it. We read one chapter yesterday and two today, the Little House on the Prairie books are pretty exciting. I even caught the two older kids listening a few times.
I thought it would be a fun activity to make butter in a jar out of whipping cream and home made bread. I remember when I was little making homemade butter and spreading it on bread for a fun pioneer activity.
