You are a little stinker lately. I try to keep up with you but it is truly exhausting! You just seem to go, go, go. You go from climbing shelves and triple bunk beds to making messes and breaking things. Then there are those sweet moments when you snuggle in close, give big hugs, and make the whole family burst into laughter. Though you are not two yet...I think you have hit the "Terrible Twos" or as a former teacher told me the "Terrific Twos" as you gain your independence, push bounds, and explore the world around you! We love you and are so glad you are growing and enjoying life!<br />

The kids have been wanting to make reverse videos for some time now. I haven't had the ump to figure it out. So, Dad stepped up and helped load down the right editing software and teach the kids how to do it. They have had a blast thinking of different ideas of things that would be fun to see in reverse. I love them gathered around Dad just laughing away...and then the freedom of them to go and create on their own.<br />

On Sunday my 4 year old brought this picture home. I love his drawing of the First Vision. Since that time he keeps reminding us that we get to go see the "sacred grave" on a "field trip." (We are planning a 10 day church history trip for this summer that includes seeing the sacred grove).</div>

The aquarium was packed but we didn't have any trouble getting into the theater. It was a fun experience. There are three other shows that we can go watch some time but I think the kids would even enjoy just watching the same one. They all had lots of fun!<br />

I think it was last spring that we bought them to put on the wall. They sat on our counter for that long waiting to be hung. 6 hammered hooks later and ta-da! They are hanging by hooks so we can lift them down easily. I love having them on the wall and off of the counter!Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16422111343171919099noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007303609207351506.post-57337709532287032032015-06-03T10:00:00.000-06:002015-06-03T10:00:16.127-06:00Managing TimeHomeschooling has really opened up the day for all of us. I love being about to create our own schedule and fit in things that matter to us. (There are some things I hope to add to our schedule as time goes including having my older kids more involved in family history. I love that they can get through most of their school work early in the day and have time to play. But, it also has meant that they have more time to play...thus wanting more time for electronics or wondering what to do. Most of the time I feel like we manage pretty well at balancing, but sometimes it gets off balance. So, this last week we started a new program at our house in hopes of providing a variety of activities, helping around the house more, and managing their own time better. So far, it seems to have helped...but I do realize some things only last a season. So, here is our new 'electronics rules' (see bottom of post). The kids get a lot more electronic time then they used to but I also get a lot more help around the house and they also keep busy doing other things.<br />

The kids are choosing the help more around the house. They already do kitchen duty every night or chicken/rabbit, front room duty (boys and girls swap). But, now they are often found cleaning the bedrooms, bathrooms or walls throughout the day without me having to say a word! The little ones love doing it along side their older siblings. Tonight #2 Boy was wiping down the door and jumping while he was doing it. #7 Boy was standing beside him with a rag bouncing up and down!<br />

Anyway, last Friday we got to go to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. As a school group they have a special "World Tales" (focused on Asia) that we got to be a part of. It included stories while sitting in a Chinese Hunt and a Mongolian Hut. Then we made a fish wind sock craft while hearing stories from Japan. It ended with the kids helping to put on a play. I can't remember where the play was from. I was pleased to see most of the kids participate (#5 Boy could have been a star fish but wouldn't dress up. #6 Boy dressed up but wasn't about to go near the stage, #7 Boy played around on the floor, stage and steps just like a sea anemone). After the "World Tales" part was over the kids had time to explore the museum. The found a variety of fun things to do. As we left they also gave each child a free pass back. Just have to pay for an adult to join! Anyway, I didn't get pictures of most of it, but couldn't help but pull out the camera during the play. So you get treated with some of those!<br />

The kids were excited to be able to swim at the indoor pool after our long day of hiking. #7 Boy was asleep so I hung out with him just outside the pool area and visited with some other parents. Dad got the hard duty of taking care of all the other ones in the pool. They all had lots of fun.</div>

We were going to do some hiking, but I was hurting and everyone was a little cold! I didn't think about the extra 4000+ ft of elevation when I packed! So, once we got to our first hiking spot we took a vote and decided to just drive to the view points and enjoy Bryce that way, then head home. I was glad that we got the hike in the day before. We even debated about doing part of it again the next day but it was cold!</div>

We got to Bryce Canyon in the afternoon after having left Zion and played at the sand dunes. We figured we would go hit a short walk from Sunset Point to Sunrise Point along the Rim...however, when we got there, the kids were all too excited about the Navajo trail. Switch backs heading down into the canyon and then passing between some narrow walls. It had some amazing views with tons of Hoodoos. We were already all a bit tired out from playing on the sand dunes but couldn't resist. We made our way down and just had to keep going. It was amazing. However, as it came time to ascend up the hill, I was feeling worn down. My little toes were hurting and my stomach was doing some contracting so I wanted to take it extra slow. I made it most of the way with the crew but by the end I gave up and went super slow with #6 Boy. He just held onto my hand and hiked along with me. Slow and Steady. Anyway, the loop was amazing and totally worth it. It was the highlight of Bryce especially since the next morning when we woke up it was freezing!<br />

We got lucky and there is one just between Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. This was a great afternoon stop on our way and took lots of energy to climb and play. It is a State Park but we didn't actually go into the park area we stopped at the first signs and dunes and had the place to ourselves with loads of fun!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
So after a snack near the car we headed up to ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Weeping Rock Trail</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a short little hike. It was amazing to think about how long the water works its way through the rock (yes, we read signs as we hiked). Then the water flowed through the rock and down. </div>

<b>Riverside Walk</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This trail is mostly flat and fully paved. It leads to the beginning of the Narrows. We would love to do part of the Narrows some time, but not in the cold without proper equipment. This walk proved to be full of beauty and was a nice stroll.</div>

We headed South where it might have been a little warmer...maybe. Anyway, it was a wonderful little get away for the whole family. We visited Zion, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and Bryce. So, there will be a number of outdoor/hiking photos for you all to enjoy! This is just the beginning. I will try to share some tidbits about the photos as we go. Sadly, after our first two amazing hikes, #5 Boy was playing with the camera a deleted all the photos. Luckily, I had taken a few on my phone but not nearly as many as were on the real camera. We thought about re-hiking them to get some good shots again, but decided to pass on that. Another year maybe!<br />
<br /> Then we decided to go for a "Sunday Walk." #2 Boy kept laughing that we were calling it a "walk" just because it was Sunday...truthfully, we went a bit more then we planned and it was a hike. A beautiful hike! We had to take the shuttle through the park. It was interesting to learn a bit more about Zion as we rode along and they pointed out different landmarks and also talked about the history.<br />

On Monday and Tuesday morning we ate at Oscars Cafe. The Driftwood Lodge does a breakfast during summer but just give a voucher to Oscars in the winter. We all ate for free (though the meal would have cost about $90 if we had to pay) and the meals were amazing. The kids loved the hot chocolate and had more food then they could eat. #2 Boy has commented a couple times since that he likes eating at Oscars.<br />

<b> Canyon Overlook</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This hike was ranked moderate/easy so we figured we would be fine taking this hike to look over the canyon. The trail was really not that hard of a trail...but it was narrow and sloped down quickly into the depths below. This is another hike that the photos from the main camera got erased. I snapped some with mine but I would have captured more of the slopes...no... no, I was too busy trying to make sure none of the children slid off the edge to get other photos. So these will have to do. The kids loved this hike, it just stressed Dad and I out a little bit.<b></b></div>

<h2>
To make your bubble mixture:</h2>
Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, stirring really well. Then
gently stir in the remaining ingredients. Avoid creating a lot of
froth. Allow your mixture to sit for <i>at least</i> an hour,
stirring occasionally if you see the cornstarch settling to the bottom.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16422111343171919099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007303609207351506.post-55638340328738852762014-11-28T07:00:00.000-07:002014-11-28T07:00:00.973-07:00Hoogle ZooOur homeschooling has tons of field trips set up. I am so excited to share all of these fun places with all of you. This
time it was to the <a href="http://www.hoglezoo.org/">Hoogle Zoo</a>. The kids had fun and learned, and by the time
we were done, I was DONE! Too much walking pushing the stroller up and
down hills and trying to keep everyone together!#1 Girl brought a
notepad and wanted to write everything from the signs down. The little
ones wanted to run from place to place. Even #7 Boy wanted to take off
in his own direction. Everyone really did have fun!
