More Pictures

Here are some more pictures of Shiloh. Hope ya'll enjoy them!













































Silas is trying to get away in this picture. :)






















His first bath! He's only had sponge baths until now.

"Moore" Baby Pictures

Here are some more pictures of the new addition to our family. He's starting to open his eyes more,and he hardly ever cries except for when he gets his diaper changed, or when he's hungry. We think he's going to be even chubbier than Stephen, who was 9 pounds 15 oz.at birth and 30 pounds when he was 6 months old. :) Enjoy the pictures!

















I know this picture is kind-of blurry, but at least he has his eyes open! :)













Three boys, three and under!

A New Member to our family

On July 22 a new brother was born into our home. Shiloh Knox weighed 10 pounds 12 oz. at birth! He is very chubby, and has been held alot. :) We went to our grandparents' house when he was born,and went home the next day.

New Rubber Boots

I have just recently got some *new* rubber boots!! I got a pair of black polka dot rubber boots for Christmas, and after 7 months they have bit the dust. They were too small and the right boot had a big rip in the heel. :) (Having a rip in your boot when you go fishing isn't very pleasant, especially when you get pond water in it and then feel a little critter biting you on the foot.) So, it was time for some new ones. I got some pictures of the old and new, and my friend Allix wrote me a poem to go with them.



These are my old ones, can you tell they've been worn twice every day if not more??
















The troublesome hole. :(



















Rubber Boots: Old and New



Trudging out to see my goats

In the mud and morning dew

Sporting my good ole’ rubber boots

Just like I always do



I wear the black old things each day

And I hardly noticed at all

My boots with polka dots a plenty

Had gotten rather small



To top it off, in fact, it’s true

Besides their growing lack in size

Great big holes proved to be

My dear old boots demise



Though it was hard to face the truth

We headed to the store

The only thing that could be done

Was for me to find some more



As I was looking there on the shelf

I saw before my eyes

The cutest, shiniest boots of yellow

And guess what; they were my size!



So now as I go plunging through

The grass and mud and grime

No more dotted holey boots

Just nice, new, shiny ones this time!

The glorious new rubber boots!!!!!!!

Baby #7

We are all looking forward with anticipation to the arrival of our new baby. I got some photos and thought y'all might like to see them. We are expecting him any day now, and we are all very excited!!





















































Silas is potty trained, but he still wears a diaper at night. Look at the difference in his diapers and the newborn diapers!;)
















































Here he is!!!!;)

Swimming

A few days ago I got some pictures of the little ones playing in their pool. Stephen and Si like this little one better than our "big pool", as we call it.(It's 4 feet deep and 15 feet wide.) They really enjoyed themselves, although the whole time I was taking these pictures Silas kept coming up to me and saying "Wet! Wet!" while looking at his clothes :)















Silas kept putting his shoe in the water and then pouring the water out of it.















Their faces were hilarious when they went down the slide!!















































This is Si telling me he was wet. ;)














( Hahaha!)

Bread Recipe

I thought I would share our family's bread recipe with ya'll! I'm making bread this afternoon!!

This recipe makes four loves.

Whole Wheat Bread
2 cups of buttermilk
3 TBS yeast
3 cups of warm water
1 1/3 cups of gluten
1cup of honey
1/2 cup of oil
2 TBS salt
4 TBS sugar
3 cups of wheat flour


Heat oven to 170.
Dissolve yeast in warm water and add other ingredients to Bosch mixer or a big bowl. Mix in Bosch or knead on a table while adding flour. Keep adding flour until dough isn't sticky (will end up using about 7 total cups for this many loaves). Grease 4 bread pans. Shape dough into loaves and put in pans. Cover with damp towels and let rise in oven for 1 hour. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and turn onto wire racks.



















*Tips*
1 Before you put dough into pans to rise, drop on counter several times or slap it to get the air out. I forgot to do this once, and when we cut into the bread it had holes in it :)

2 When you are finished mixing (or kneading) the dough, grease pans quickly and put them in the oven, or it will start to rise in the bowl.

3 If possible grind your wheat and use it fresh. It tastes better and is way more healthy than store-bought wheat flour.

4 If you are going to knead the dough by hand, take your rings off.

5 Tastes great with butter and honey while still warm :) Yum!
