Aren't they cute? I love this picture of Brent and Ashtyn! Our church hosted their 1st annual Father/Daughter Dance. They had a wonderful time spending the evening together. (Thank you to Joy Carr for all your hard work in making this special night possible.)</div>

We surprised her on her birthday with a Rapunzel/Tangeled outfit and accessories and took her and the whole family to see Disney Princess on Ice! We had a wonderful evening. Even the boys enjoyed it, although they might not admit it if you ask them :)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I unloaded my camera and of course wanted to share the great news that Josiah decided that he wanted to be baptized. We were thrilled with his decision. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also wanted to share Proverbs 24:13-14. If you know Josiah well, these verses are just for him. I can not read them without thinking of him and what the Lord may show him through these verses in the future. "My son, eat honey, for it is good, Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste; Know that wisdom is thus for your soul; If you find it, then there will be a future, And your hope will not be cut off." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We love you, Josiah, and KNOW that God has great plans for you!</div>

Isaiah is 7! Where have the years gone? I am so proud of this boy. His thoughts and words continually amaze me. He loves the Lord, and has let us know that he wants to be a missionary when he grows up. I am so thankful that the Lord continues to give us opportunities to show and teach Isaiah that he doesn't have to wait until he grows up, but that he can start now. His favorite subject in school is spelling and he is great at it. He also loves to read on his own and really enjoys when I read biographies of missionaries from around the world aloud to him. He plays the piano and likes to play on his drum set. He can't wait until we allow him to take drum lessons. His favorite toys? Legos! And one of his favorite movies? Star Wars! So of course, he had a Star Wars Lego Party! </div>

If so, my guess would be that Jeremiah 29:11 would be a top candidate. "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.'" It sounds great! Great enough to be on a coffee mug in every christian bookstore across the country. So, why then do our lives not always reflect this?<br />
<br />
Because there is more, if you keep reading verses 12-14. "'Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,' declares the LORD, 'and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places I have driven you,' declares the LORD, 'and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.'<br />
<br />
Here are a few key words: call, come, pray, seek, find, search with all your heart. God is overflowing with grace and mercy, but, in my opinion, this promise isn't a free hand out. It's a reward.<br />
<br />
God thinks about us. He has great plans for us and He actually wants to clue us in on those plans! Here is the catch, you have to seek Him with all your heart and He will bless you with a fresh word.<br />
<br />
How long has it been since you last heard from the Lord? Are you still hanging on to what you heard from Him last year or maybe even 10 years ago? True, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And yes, His promises will endure, but He wants to speak something new to you today. Will you listen?<br />
<br />
This is an exciting time of the year. Will you choose to give God the first of your time? For a practical way to walk out drawing near to God and listening for His voice, consider a time of fasting and prayer.<br />
<br />
If this is something new for you and you don't know where to start check out www.awake21.org for help and daily online devotions for 21 days, beginning January 15th.<br />
<br />
May God bless you with a year overflowing with fresh words!Mandehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398087360601333666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470313146735313849.post-74073294892295735292011-05-14T23:20:00.001-05:002011-09-11T23:33:02.763-05:00Josiah's spring guitar show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxQcleF2N8PyM6GSdVRBZ-nCQ3Xz1RzUrKBsfHECYordLBDN3_ECbseolmzLwgLhZP9BTUodvUeSFVsrvFy' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This video is terrible quailty. It was take by my point and shoot in 59 second intervals, put together. I am so thankful that Brent gave me a new video camera for mother's day, so future videos will be much better! Ashtyn is the first to enter, in the second group of girls and at the end he is on the far right.</div><br />

It is hard to believe that it is already Valentines! It has been a while since my last post, but no need to catch up, instead I will keep moving forward.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is our homeschool group's Valentines party, so tonight we had the fun task of getting ready. Every year, my crafty child, Ashtyn, insists on making her own handmade Valentine cards. I think it is awesome and although, I'm not crafty, it is fun to join in. This year I decided to make one for Brent.<br />

I gave them their simple instructions and left them at the kitchen table to go check on the girls in the school room. When I returned, I found that they had a great time ripping them up and Josiah had managed to write his name on the "to" side instead of the "from" side. Which is quite funny to me, because he did the same thing last year, which is why I made sure to include where to write their name in the instructions I gave them :)Mandehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398087360601333666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470313146735313849.post-55489250138520766052010-12-15T01:11:00.001-06:002010-12-15T01:11:52.980-06:00Wordless Wednesday: Baby It's Cold Inside<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/TQhp-aF3riI/AAAAAAAABFY/1xwh5BUb9Sg/s1600/IMG_3719.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/TQhp-aF3riI/AAAAAAAABFY/1xwh5BUb9Sg/s320/IMG_3719.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Mandehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398087360601333666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470313146735313849.post-52632097449735983422010-12-13T17:19:00.001-06:002010-12-13T17:20:05.460-06:00Josiah's 1st Guitar Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Warning: This video is 3-1/2 minutes long. It begins with Josiah's guitar teacher talking about the guitarist/composer Carruli and how his music was judged by the Parisians as too hard for the average player. He says that Josiah is about to prove them all wrong! Josiah was the youngest student in the show and the only student who had just began taking lessons this fall. As you can tell, I am very proud of him. Not only, for his guitar playing ability, but for him getting up on that stage all by himself and playing in front of all those people! When he first was given this waltz to learn, he would get frustrated just looking at the sheet music, but then he would pray and ask God to help him understand and learn it. This really helped him to keep a good attitude. At the end, his teacher compares his hands to those of Segovia, a famous classical guitarist, which is something to be highly desired!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

When I start to think about everything that I need to do, I get completely overwhelmed and find myself not able to get anything accomplished! Is anyone with me? Have you ever been here? <br />
<br />
Then, I read a quote from a homeschooling, mother of 4, whose kids are about the same age as mine. She said "don't think about all you have to do, <b><i>just do the next thing!</i></b>"<br />
<br />
It sounds so simple, it just might work.Mandehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398087360601333666noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470313146735313849.post-4674182196982848462010-08-30T02:39:00.004-05:002010-08-30T02:48:18.331-05:00Eisley's Own BedOur poor sweet Eisley has not had a bed to call her own since we took down her baby bed. I thought it was a great idea to let Ashtyn share her full bed with Eisley. After all, I remember my Grandmother telling me stories of how she and her sisters had always shared a bed. What a great idea! It's cheaper and space saving!<br />
<br />
Or maybe not...<br />
Eisley has been going back and forth between sleeping with Ashtyn in "their" bed and sleeping on the the boy's trundle, under their bunk beds. She prefers to "sleep by Jo". However, at bedtime it is frequently discussed who "has to" sleep with Eisley. Poor Baby Girl! Then again, I guess she does tend to talk alot, get up and down frequently, take a long time to get still enough to fall asleep, and once she did give Ashtyn that black eye. <br />
<br />
To add to the sad story, she randomly makes a pouty face and says "miss my baby bed." awwwww... I have never had a child miss their baby bed and tell people for no reason "my baby bed lost"<br />
<br />
She really doesn't even think she has a room. She sleeps in the boys room and her stuff is in Ashy's room.<br />
<br />
I have thought through all the possible options, and thanks to my sister's help on Saturday, I got EIsley her own toddler bed. And she loves it! As Brent was opening the box, to put it together, she said over and over again "dank you daddy. " She is a sweet girl and I love to see her so happy!<br />

<br />
Because it is fermented it actually breaks down those difficult to digest phytates. Phytates basically bind up the minerals such as zinc, iron, magnesium, copper, and phosphorus and prevent your body from being able to absorb them. This is one of the healthiest bread you can make because you are actually able to absorb and use the nutrients that are released. But that is another story for another day. <br />
<br />
To make the bread you need: <br />
2 cups sourdough starter<br />
1 tsp sea salt<br />
3/4 cold filtered water<br />
2-4 cups whole wheat flour<br />
<br />
Step 1: take remaining starter and pour it into a clean jar, seal it with a lid and store it in the refridgerator until you are ready to use it again. *Remember to pull it out once a week, feed it, leave it out on the counter overnight, and then put it back in the fridge in order to maintain it.*<br />
<br />
Step 2: mix the starter and the salt in a clean glass bowl.<br />
<br />
Step 3: stir in water.<br />
<br />
Step 4: mix in flour, 1-2 cups at a time (amount will vary depending on the consistency of your starter.<br />
<br />
Step 5: knead your dough for 8-10 minutes (you can use a machine if you want to!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtAcvVXXaI/AAAAAAAABBo/QDOASx4QqDo/s1600/IMG_3162.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtAcvVXXaI/AAAAAAAABBo/QDOASx4QqDo/s320/IMG_3162.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">put the dough back in your bowl<br />
<br />
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>Step 6: Cover and let the natural yeast go to work to make the dough rise. In 3-4 hours my glass bowl was filled to the top. It could take much more. Remember this is the slow, old fashioned way. I had mentally prepared myself for it to take all day, so I was surprised at how fast it went. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtAl4I-XGI/AAAAAAAABBw/ud6p_ZT1rDQ/s1600/IMG_3167.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtAl4I-XGI/AAAAAAAABBw/ud6p_ZT1rDQ/s320/IMG_3167.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Step 7: Knead the dough again for about 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Step 8: Cut your dough in half.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtAtZAAdhI/AAAAAAAABB4/JFyG8ubuGNg/s1600/IMG_3171.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtAtZAAdhI/AAAAAAAABB4/JFyG8ubuGNg/s320/IMG_3171.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Step 9: Form to round balls and place in stone or glass pan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtA1qxqNYI/AAAAAAAABCA/94zaexvk_Y4/s1600/IMG_3173.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtA1qxqNYI/AAAAAAAABCA/94zaexvk_Y4/s320/IMG_3173.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Step 10: Allow the dough to rise in the pan on average 1-3 hours. (I had to leave my house in 2 hours, so I only let mine rise for 1 hour)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtA91_2pmI/AAAAAAAABCI/6QiTVYNK4zs/s1600/IMG_3174.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/THtA91_2pmI/AAAAAAAABCI/6QiTVYNK4zs/s320/IMG_3174.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Step 11: Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Ben Franklin once said "Early to Bed, Early to Rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."<br />
<br />
Can I tell you that this quote has been stuck in my head the last 3 days (and nights!). I told Brent that I think the Lord is really trying to impress this principle on me. I am known to go to bed exceedingly late and still wake up fairly early.<br />
<br />
This morning, I was reading today's homeschool devotional that is emailed to me and the following verse jumped out at me:<br />
<br />
"It is vain for you to rise up early,<br />
To retire late,<br />
To eat the bread of painful labors;<br />
For He gives to His beloved even sleep" <br />
<br />
Psalm 127:2<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I always feel like there is so much that needs to be done, that I can't get done during the day.<br />
So here is the question I had to ask myself "Am I trying to do more than God intended me to do?"Mandehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398087360601333666noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470313146735313849.post-65898050399324073682010-08-19T10:37:00.000-05:002010-08-19T10:37:21.327-05:00Day 7I didn't take any pics today b/c it is basically the same thing. Once again, the top looked frothy. I mixed in 1/4 cup water and 1/2 cup flour. Mine is still very soupy even adding less water. So tomorrow is the big day! Just to give you a heads up you will need more water, flour and salt. I use Redmond's unrefined sea salt. Also, you will need glass or stone baking pans.Mandehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398087360601333666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470313146735313849.post-67496209295285747702010-08-17T23:30:00.000-05:002010-08-18T08:24:54.791-05:00Day 6It overflowed! I knew I might have put too much in there. That just goes to show flow your instincts! No problem though. I'll simply take some out. I am choosing to discard it, however if you are totally against wasting it you could stick it in the fridge to use later.<br />
<br />
I took the lid off and was surprised at how much the smell had changed from yesterday. The fermentation is working b/c it smelled very strongly like alcohol.<br />

Today I am feeding it with less water. 1/4 c water and 1/2 c flour. Stir it well. Then put it in a clean jar. Tomorrow the exact same thing and then Friday...we get to make the bread!<br />

<br />
Today mine had this frothy layer on the top and kind of a strange smell. It is hard to describe. Not necessarily a bad smell, but not that yummy yeasty smell either. Does that make sense? But we will get there! Keep going.<br />

So this is mine after I finished with it today. It hasn't appeared to be rising very much so I went ahead and added todays mixture (1/2 c whole wheat flour and 1/2c filtered water) into my quart jar without removing any. Tomorrow I will have to take some out. I have heard that when you have to remove some it is okay to go ahead and use it in some recipes? I'll try to research this a little more before the next post!<br />

Be sure and mix it well. Mine is smelling sour. How about yours? Mine is also getting close to the top of my jar. If it gets too full, you can either move it to a larger glass container or bowl. Or you can simply take some of it out, like say 1/2 cup out and replace with your new mixture. <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/TGiMKws74nI/AAAAAAAABA4/EMKPC9P-lDY/s1600/IMG_3119.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XjbW0E3Xf-A/TGiMKws74nI/AAAAAAAABA4/EMKPC9P-lDY/s400/IMG_3119.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505804660960387698" /></a>Mandehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398087360601333666noreply@blogger.com0
