Raw Milk

So I am trying Raw Milk.

Not really me but the kids are. I will someday.

What is Raw Milk you might ask? Well it is milk straight from the cow. Never been homogenized or pasteurized.

Crazy I know, right?

Well as you might remember we were having issues with milk with my little guy Q. Crying late at night to do it and having pooping problems. We tried soy milk and Lactaid milk. Both of which seemed to help. However I just had an issue with it being overly messed with. It is milk.....you know the fresh stuff that is to be good for you.

Then I did some more research and found about Raw Milk and how it could possibly help Q out.

And what do you know??? It has. The kid has not screamed from having it at all. And he can poo with no problems too! And he loves it. As does Ike.

You might also be wondering why I just don't use dairy with Q. Well I feel like he has to love it just as I do. So I just couldn't let him not have any.

I am still learning about using Raw Milk but I will learn with time I am sure.

***UPDATE***

I tried the milk. We had pancakes for dinner and I figured that it was a perfect time to try it. Surprisingly it was really good. It is a little thicker than I like but it was creamy and tasty! I totally recommend it!

Good Reads

In the past two weeks I have actually read two books and started a third!!!

If you know me at all that is a huge accomplishment.

I enjoy reading, it just takes me a forever because I don't take the time. Plus I am kind of a slow reader. However these books by Emily Griffin are really good reads.

Easy reads and entertaining. And of corse I totally got emotionally involved with the characters and cried. I would totally recommend these books.

Something Borrowed and Something Blue go together. Baby Proof (which I haven't finished yet) is another story line. Just by the same author.

Oh Boy!

Vaca

We went a few weeks ago on our first family vacation with the four of us. Well the four of us plus my parents, sister and her hubby. We went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

We went as far as the road would take us.

Literally.

We went to Ft. Wilkons State Park in Copper Harbor, MI.

It was a really great and relaxing week.

Here are a few of the many pictures that I took. It was just so beautiful up there.

Some of the BEAUTIFUL scenery

And some more of the beauty up there

Ike and Papa fishing and of course a family shot

Q took a swim and Ike with Uncle Bobby

I am so thankful that we were able to go away for a week with my whole family.

It was truly a blessing for us.

We didn't really do a thing. And that is what was so great about the whole week.

I even read a book in just a few days. (If you know me that is not something that I do)

We really hope that we get to go somewhere all together almost every summer.

I hope so!

Swim Swim

The Boys, along with many of there friends, took 2 weeks of swim lessons this summer.

I was a little worried as to how the kiddos would do.

Ike last year was not really a fan of swimming. This year he did SO much better.

(Having friends helped a little)

I figured Q would do great....he was a little nervous to begin with or maybe just cold (the water wasn't that warm) but he ended up doing really well.

This was an atempt to get a picture of my kiddos with their friends at swim lessons. We are missing 2, Q and Lily.

It was a great time and so much nicer having all the kids going together. Hope it works out next year too!

I'm Back!!!!

Man has this been crazy....one minute I'm here the next I'm not and then I'm back again.

Well I just can't make up my mind as to which I like better....Tumblr or Blogger.

Oh wait! I like Blogger better. That is way I am back.

That and having better internet to upload pictures with!

Sorry if you have gotten all confused. I hope you will come back....all 2 of you that is.
