Acids and Bases

Today in homeschool we learned about acids and bases. Tanner is mixing up some chopped red cabbage and distilled water to use for our indicator juice. I'm still not sure why cabbage juice acts as an indicator.

New Truck!

Here's what our new truck looks like! (This is a stock photo off Toyota.) With their 0% financing for 5 years, we couldn't resist. Jared thinks it's his. Ha!!!

The Garage is Clean!

I spent the whole day Tuesday working on the garages. I got rid of a whole Excursion (with the back seats both folded down!) full of stuff for D.I. and one and a half trash cans full. I finished it up today and took pictures! It's so clean I want to hang out there.

Kiersten's Latest Funny

Kiersten was getting ready the other day when she said, "My shoes are putting up some technical difficulties!"

Kiersten's Baptism!

They let us take photos by the font before the baptism service. Kiersten was soooo excited to be baptized!

And then just before the service started, she began to get a little nervous. Mark baptized and confirmed her, with Joseph Moffatt, Jeff Griener, Doug Hammer (Grandpa) and Andy (uncle) in the circle.

This is the kids who were baptized from our ward that day (after the baptism). Kiersten, Eleanore, and Josh.

Grandma Linda and Andy came to the baptism, but they had to leave before the brunch.

Grandma and Grandpa Hammer came the night before and we went to dinner at Market Street Grill. They came to the baptism the next day and stayed for brunch, then headed home. They were tired from working at the temple in the early morning the day before.

It was a really nice day for Kiersten. When I wrapped her towel around her, she said, "I can't believe I just got baptized!" She was pretty excited about receiving the Holy Ghost, too.

Here is Scooter trying to get Brittany to notice him.

And here I am on the couch with Tanner, trying to figure out how to put parental controls on the Playstation 3 because his new favorite game is Home, which is a MMORPG.

Cleaning out the Craft Room!

Brittany has been doing some work for me around here, and she spent a day cleaning out my craft stuff! It is so great to get rid of some things! Here is the trash she took out. Now I don't have quite so many UFO (unfinished objects) to worry about.
