Lesson Learned

Today Reggie learned a good lesson. This morning Reggie and I went to the bee pond. There is a nice bench beside the bee pond. We sat on the bench looking over the mountains. Hepsabah my cat was clasping her paws and grabbing onto the bee's.

Reggie thought oh what fun! He went over and tried what Hepsabah did. With great fascination he watched the bee buzz around his head and around his feet and around his body.

And suddenly opened his mouth and snapped at the bee. To his great horror this tiny little bee shocked him right out of his wits by stinging his tiny little foot. He looked over at me with the most pleading helpless countenance as if to say ``Oh Kaylee Kaylee help me``.

I'd never let him know but in all truth he deserved it for trying to kill the bee. I had to keep my self from bursting out with laughter as I called him to me and soothed his aching tiny little foot.

To show him that I really did care about his little bee sting, I consoled him and wrapped his tiny little foot in toilet paper. I think he was thankful for the attention that I gave to his tiny little foot.

For the rest of the day he favored that one foot and stayed very close to my side and did not want to go near the bee pond.

Homemade Hamburgers

Its a beautiful sunny day and all my family are working outside. I know that they are going to be very hungry when they come in. Homemade buns with homemade hamburgers will make them very happy.

There is a wonderful invention, called a hamburger press. After mixing all your meat and spices together, you press a little ball of meat in between plastic discs ( I wonder if old cd's would work).





And by pressing evenly I get a perfect hamburger patty. After pressing all the meat you can store your patties in the fridge until supper time.




What dessert would be nice with homemade hamburgers.

Complete

We have completed the bee pond in just 2 days. We just finished it this evening. It is looking so very very nice. All we need is some bee's and were good to go. Tyrell and I did schoolwork around the campfire.

Tyrell and I went for a nice bike ride. Yesterday I fell off the bike so many times I thought I was going to be very sore. It turned out that I was right. My back was very very sore. I couldn't really move that much.

Jesse arrived with the big goose neck. All our clothes,junk, and utensils were all on it. I was very happy to see it right in front of our yard. Well it is at the saw mill yard so you can barely see it right through the trees.

We fried up some leftover rice and oh was it ever good. I helped Mom do the pond. Tyrell and I gave lots of rocks and put it where it belongs. Dad and Tyrell got the water tank onto the truck and went to the spring to pump out the water for the pond.

We filled up the pond with water and oh did it looked so nice.Mom raked up some wet soil and put the bench beside it. Well I am going to go now :)

What A Wonderful Day

It was a wonderful day in the valley. Sun was shining most of the time. The weather likes to change every 10 to 15 minutes. We had our breakfast at the camp ground and it was very nice. Darcy came up for a visit and he helped do chores.

Darcy and I had to get some clay onto the truck . We had some spade shovels and went on top of the clay pile shoveling away. When the truck was full we went to the other side of the property. We shoveled it off to the ground to make nice pad for the pallets to be even on each side.

Craig and Stephanie showed up for Mothers Day. They gave Mom some chocolate and a very nice colorful flower. We had some soup and a hotdog roast. The sticks were getting to burnt so the ends were falling off and that means the hotdogs fall down to te ground.

I went inside and made a batch of chocolate chip cookies. A couple weeks ago I gave you the recipe.They boys loved it so much. The first batch I burnt because the stove got abit to hot. When Craig and Steph left we went back to work.

Tyrell and I went up and down the drive way for 3 hours believe or not. I was so sore after that long bike ride. Mom and Megan just made a bee pond. I had the axe chop^ping the roots and raking. Megan was in the pond digging out the dirt and Mom well she kinda did everything.

We went inside and I made another fire. Mom made a pot of brown rice. It was really good. Well have a good night:)

Challah Bread

Today I am going to make Challah Bread. You make the dough and let it rise. Sprinkle some flour onto the table. Then you put your dough onto the table and start to kneed it.



Then you are going to slice it half.



The half you have you put the other half away and get your other half into three quarters.



Take one quarter and roll it. Do the same with the other 3 quarters.




With the three quarters all nicely rolled, you will pinch the top with the others so its all connected. And then you braid it.




You get a pan ready ( Stone where is probably the best) and you butter it so it doesn't stick.




You put your braided bread onto the pan.




Preheat he oven to 350 and take it out until its nicely golden brown. Butter the top with wax paper or a brush. If you have a sweet tooth then you probably want to have a seprate bowl and put lots of icing surgar like 3 tabespoons and add a tinsy itty bitty of vanilla. And then add cream till its nice and thick and rich.

If you have any comments or questions please feel free to comment. Or if you want a recipe...

Tyrell sometimes helps me do the dishe but most of the time he high tails it out of here so fast. I am going to bake some bread. Challah bread that the boys love. Every Friday night we make Challah bread. We braid it and then butter a non stick pan and then put it in the oven for us its a stove.

The Day Didn't Go As We Have Planned

Well the day didn't go as well as we have planned.We were going to go to town as usual but it had rained all night. The road was all muddy when we woke up. Dad didn`t want to go so we stayed home. We were going to take Alise but didn`t turn out. Oh well the day turned out as it was supposed to be.

This morning Ty and I did the dishes. This time he washed and I dried and put it away.I went outside to feed the critters. I went all the way to the horse trailer (that's where we feed them because the dogs like to steal their food) to get their bowls. Well I have a bucket then I dish it to the dishes. So then I went and filled the bucket and when I was heading towards the horse trailer, the horses started to follow me in.

I went inside the pen because that's where the horse trailer is. When I served up the cats they just love me to pieces. When I was heading home the horses started to follow me behind. Sago and Delavaga and Reggie. I fed them some grass then headed in .We did some schoolwork and cleaned up with Dad. I cleaned up the bathroom and Mom and Meg were just puttering around the kitchen.

Well I am going to go so talk to you later...

DENTIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I went to the dentist to get a check up and to see if we need braces. And all as I can tell you it was so not fun... Tyrell wanted to go first so I let him. I think he wanted to get it over done with. Time passed and so then it was my turn.

My teeth were in excellent shape.We didn't need braces. They took an x-ray and no cavities. Although I was so relieved because the night before I was worrying about them having fillings or having caps. When she was polishing my teeth she saw that I had a wiggly tooth.

I told her that it has been wiggly for a very very long time and I couldn't get it out. They had to take another x-ray on my my tooth because they wanted to know why it couldn't come out. And sure enough my long long root was wrapped around my adult tooth.

So Dr. Sevier gave me 4 needles to have my whole face was numb. It hurt so much I wanted to cry. The assistant was closing her eyes and she held my hand. Instead of me squeezing her hand she squeezed mine.

He pulled my tooth out and by the time it was done my whole side of my face was so numb. It was even numb on my nose. I lost all my teeth well baby teeth. Lets just hope when I get older I don't have to get a tooth pulled or anything...

I read a book while Mom and Meg went grocery shopping. My mouth was in to much pain because of my mouth was punctured with so many needle wholes. We arrived at home and we cleaned up and had some lunch well supper.

Mom had bought us kids and including Megan some itchy band. It was so good. And she also bought the chinese noodles. We are going to cook that up with some stir fry. I just finished up drying the dishes and sitting on the couch with Reggie...

Talk to you later

What A Wonderful Saturday

What a wonderful Saturday I could have asked for...

Today we were having our breakfast outside instead inside because who wants to make a nice hot fire inside when its a beautiful day.Megan my sister wanted some birds around the campfire and ground and so then she pout lots of bird feed around the tree;s. We made some eggs on toast and some left over food from last night.

Well guess what Megan got her birds around the camp fire. So much so the birds were pooping on everyone. Even Reggie my Dog!!! Our neighbours came up for a get together and that was really nice to see them. We went for a bike ride and then we had a look at Gracie`s Pond.

The boys were throwing rocks near the water where we were and we got all wet. Later we had a hot dog roast and that was fun I couldn`t finish my hot dog so I set it aside. We all played some soccer and I was on Logan's team and so with Tyrel and the twin girls. We were against Tyrell and Shane.

Guess what!!! bird pooped on me when I was sitting on the chair near the fire and then all of a sudden it pooped on me and of coarse I freaked out for you who know me you can picture me screaming. Later in the evening the birds pooped on my zipper shirts and oh was that so disgusting and it was soo close to my face.

Later I roasted up a nice hot dog and I ate it and I was soo close of done and right when I was going to chomp down and it landed right on my hot dog and on my hand. I freaked out again like usual. Tyrell and the boys were laughing at me so hard, me on the other hand was so grossed out.

Well Megan,Darcy and I went down the mountain well hardly for some reason I didn't have the energy.Well I am going to go to bed pretty soon...
