Tender Moment

Anne's always been a mommy's girl so these moments are few and far between for daddy.

So Precious

Weekend Guests

Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit.

Uncle David came for snuggles too! We played doctor while the guys attended the General Priesthood Session for Conference. Grace made Grandma a nice patient bed with a pillow so Anne could be a good Dr.

Grace really enjoyed fishing with Grandpa. She wanted to eat the entire fish by herself.

We did get her to share half of it with the six of us.

This week I have heard:

Grace: "Grandpa caught me a yummy little fish. Maybe next time he will catch you a fish."

Grandpa....I guess I'm going to need my own fish from now on, Grace thinks she's entitled to eat the whole thing ALL BY HERSELF!!!

It was a great weekend. I'm glad Edwin had the weekend off to spend time with us. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

How to Brighten Dingy Whites

Here’s a reprint of Martha Stewart’s “How to Brighten Dingy Whites”:

1. Heat 2 gallons of water over high heat, bringing it to a boil. Use several pots so that each is light enough to lift off the stove. 2. When the water comes to a rolling boil turn off the heat. Let the pots stand for 5 minutes. 3. Put a plastic wash or dish tub in the sink. Carefully pour hot water into it. 4. Add 8 ounces of powdered oxygen bleach ( I used Earth Friendly Products Oxo-Brite). Never substitute chlorine bleach. Also, never add oxygen bleach or whites to pots on the stove; doing so can cause a dangerous boil over. The mixture may bubble and foam. Sir with a wooden spoon reserved for this use to ensure that the oxygen bleach has dissolved completely. 5. Add whites to the tub. Don’t overfill. 6. Let whites soak, periodically agitating them with the wooden spoon, until the water has cooled enough that you can handle the clothing. This may take an hour or more. 7. Drain the bucket and rinse each item well in plain water. 8. Launder as usual.

This tid bid has been floating around my house and car....thought I'd store it some place I'd know where to find it again!
