Samantha's Imagination

Samantha has a great imagination. She is content to sit by herself and play out scenarios with her animals, dolls, dinosaurs, whatever. Here, it looks like she is playing primary with her animals.

Funny Kids

It's the last day of school today so what did Breazy, Maranda and Andria do the minute they got home from school? Play school of course!

More Solar Cooking

I've had some fun experimenting with my solar oven this week. First I baked whole wheat bread but I didn't leave it in long enough and it was kind of late in the day. So it wasn't quite done but Danica likes it that way. Then I tried oatmeal bread which had to stay in the oven while I ran several errands and it got a little crusty which is how Chandler and Hanna like it. Lucky me. I like that little oven and I love free energy!

Mother's Day 2008

Last Sunday was Mother's Day. I got some fun gifts from my cute girls, but I was sad that Danica was still in California with her cousins. She came back home later that day.

This is Andria with her picture and frame that she made in school.
Maranda made some flowers in school and she also made a picture in a frame all by herself. Here are all my kids except Dani. Hanna made me a card and wrote in it in Spanish. It's great that she can do that, but she did have to translate for me.
Maranda, Samantha, Zanya and Andria
Danica and Maranda had a brunch with their activity days groups and their Mom's on Saturday. It was fun and delicious. They made nice cards for me that they gave me at the brunch. We also played a game where we looked at baby pictures of all the girls and all the moms and tried to guess who was who. They said Maranda's baby picture was pretty easy to spot. Some said Zan looks just like her.

Zan and Booker

Booker came over to play one day, and Hanna took some cute pictures.

Solar Oven

We bought this solar oven at the same time we bought our pressure canner - last year. We thought today would be a great day to try it out. So, the girls baked cookies. They turned out great, although they do take a little longer to bake.
