Fun in the Sun!

-
Here are pics of the children last week at the pool (Monday or Tuesday).  My children have never really been around a pool except here and there and have never had swimming lessons.  I seriously contemplated swimming lessons this Summer (possibly Winter) and was actually thinking that they might be really scared.  I can tell you now that I definitely do NOT think that anymore.  My children ABSOLUTELY LOVE the water.  My son was very hesitant and now, well I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  Enjoy!

Here is the pool from the stairs.

All you need is LOVE to overcome your fears!
 My son who was VERY hesitant now has NO fear!

 He LOVES to "dive" in which usually ends up with a belly flop due to his floaty.  He doesn't even plug is nose (the girls still do)!

 Makahla loves to do the running jumps and cannon balls.

   Amyah also loves to jump but she is still a bit hesitant for the cannon balls. The pic is a bit dark as it should actually go towards the end of the pics because it was getting later in the day. We have been going either around 10/11 am or around 6:30/7 pm when the pool is shaded more and less hot. The heat advisory is definitely in effect here with 100+ temps (on Thurs or was it Friday it registered 106 on my van temp gauge).
  

A pic of me sitting in the shade but still enjoying the sun! 

I love being able to sit by the poolside as I found a very modest swimsuit and I wear a pair of men's swim shorts that go down to my knees.  I feel very comfortable and believe that I'm still holding true to my values and convictions of being modest in attire!  I thank Jesus for helping to locate this clothing so that I can feel comfortable by the poolside!  This day was a very enjoyable day!

Tea Tree Oil I

I have heard so much about this oil and thought I would finally try it. My excuse to finally get it was I found a great little homemade recipe online for diaper rash (or prevention of) using Aloe, tea tree oil, etc. (I will post this recipe later). So since I will be switching to cloth diapers soon and wanted to also switch to a more natural diaper wipe (using the recipe I found in a spray bottle to a dry wash cloth makes a good "diaper wipe") I went ahead and ordered from my favorite little website http://www.vitacost.com/ and my items just came in a couple of days ago. **Even though I purchased mine online (I bought other items too) you can find this in lots of stores now including your local health food store. Sometimes Health food stores are a little higher in price so it might behoove you to call around to your local grocery stores or even retailers like Walmart, Kmart, etc. to see if they carry it before you go searching for it. This will help you plan your trip and yo

Let's Eat Organic! In Season and Out -

My family and I have been trying to switch as much as possible to all natural and organic. It is a bit overwhelming when you think of all the food that is out there to choose from. So I thought in order to make things easier for me when I shop I would compile a list of foods that are best to eat Organic while others are better to eat All Natural and then of course there are the foods that you just can't really get around or may be okay to eat. So to get started this is the Organic portion. For a good article click here . I used to shop mainly at Aldi's and supplementing at Meijers with a an occasional Wal-Mart thrown in. But I have to admit that I have a problem. When I go to the big superstores I get myself in trouble and end up spending WAY too much money because I always "wander" over to the other sections that do not pertain to groceries and always find something that I "need". So recently I have decided that I'm going to start shopping at Krogers fo

A Modest Ladies Survey

I saw this at Candy's site, Keeping The Home I would love to see your responses to these questions as well.  If you have a blog then post it and send me the link so I can read them (and others can too).  I'll put in my answers to the below questions, so make sure to comment and leave your URL (or answer right here on the comments) so we can read your answers. Do you wear makeup? Yes.  I wear just a bit on occasion.  I wear brown eyeliner, black mascara and a bit of neutral eyeshadow (browns or purples - not like royal blue purple but subtle).  I like to do this for my hubby as well as a pick-me-up to myself.  I also wear tinted lip glosses.  Once a year I get all dolled up to go to my Hubby's company End of the Year Party and then I wear my hear real fancy with a bit more make-up with a new (or new from thrift-store) skirt and blouse and of course got to have some beautiful stylish high heels. Do you wear a head covering? I cover sometimes as my Hubby is not quite co
