Every year growing up, the 4th was a BIG deal!

My grandma put on a community play called

(I am the little girl on the right who says 'We can do it mister"- wasn't I cute! )

I still sing the songs every year and HAVE to have root bear floats- just my family traditions from childhood

What traditions do you have?

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!!

4th of July Jello!

Today is July 1st!! I LOVE the 4th of July and so I have a few Red, White and Blue goodies to share with you the next few days :)

Today is red, white and blue jello- because come on- its just awesome!

I also have a really cool flag mold I bought from Kraft but I am sure you could do this in a 9 X 13 the layers just might be a little thinner :)

Flag Jello

4 cups boiling water

2 pkgs. (3 oz each) a blue jello

2 pkgs. (3 oz each) a red jello

3 cups cold water

1 pkg. (3 oz) lemon jello

1 tub (8oz) whipped topping

In a medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups boiling water with the blue jello. Mix until dissolved.

Repeat in separate bowl with red jello.

Then stir 1 1/2 cups cold water into each bowl and mix.

Spray flag mold (or pan) with non stick spray and pour red jello into it. Refrigerate 45 minutes until set but NOT FIRM.

Refrigerate blue jello in bowl.

After 20 minutes, dissolve lemon jello in 1 cup boiling water in bowl. Refrigerate 25 minutes until slightly thickened.

Whisk whipped topping into lemon jello

Spread over red layer in mold (or pan). Refrigerate 10 minutes until set but not firm. Pour blue jello on top.

(sorry no pics- missed it!)

Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.

To unmold- dip mold in warm water for about 15 seconds. Then gently pull mold away from jello. Place plate on top of mold and invert in one smooth motion. Gently shake to release jello from mold.

(I used a tin foil covered cookie sheet)

Decorate and serve!

I just love the layers!

and the white middle is not too sweet and oh so yummy!!

Hope you enjoy!!

Hoo are You Tuesday!

Its the 4th of July Questions this week!!!

1. Do you decorate for the 4th of July?

I am starting to get my home holiday decor going and the 4th is going to be big one day!!!

2. Do you you buy fireworks for the 4th of July?

No but I love to go watch them:) In a town about 20 min away a dentist puts on the BEST show every year!!! IT IS THE BEST!! Soo I am way excited for Saturday!!

3. How do you celebrate the 4th of July?

Growing up my grandma put on a huge community performance called "Our Country 'Tis of Thee' with 100-150 kids! It was a VERY big deal. There would be a community flag raising ceremony in the morning complete with donuts, the performance that night and homemade root beer floats (the root beer was homemade!) and a late night at my grandparents. Now that I have moved away and such I always make sure we still have root beer floats and I sing the songs from the program throughout the day- I actually hope to direct this production here in Wyoming for Memorial Day next year!

4. Do you have a family member that is serving our country?

Not right now, but my grandpa was retired military and was the director of China Lake Navel Base so I am very supportive of our troops and send them all the encouragement and love - to their families too!!

OF COURSE!!! I make the whole family- it is the least we can do :)

Father’s Day Card

* UPDATE- 'Checks' has been changed to 'Cheeks'!! Thanks for catching it! The pics have the former but the download is fixed!!

Father’s Day is upon us!!

A familiar song to LDS parents is “I am so glad when Daddy Comes Home- glad as I can be!”

I took this simple song and created a Father’s Day card- perfect for anyone!!!

What do you think?

Here it is open

It reads:

I’m so glad when DADDY comes home
Glad as I can be
CLAP my hands and
SHOUT for joy
then climb upon his knee
put my arms around his neck
HUG him tight like this
pat his checks and give him what?

A GREAT BIG KISS!!

you can click here to download the pieces!

I also made this one- same poem just different look

This one you can add the hands or just glue to some colored cardstock or construction paper

then add your personal touch inside!

Lots of fun right??

Click here to get the updated links and files!!

I got my first request!!!

My church has a group for the teenage girls (called Young Women's) and every summer they go to camp! It is so much fun- I have lots of great memories of my years at Girl's Camp.

I had a request to create a handout containing the "Footprints in the Sand" using DOTS as that is their theme this year :

D.O.T.S.- Depend on the Savior

- isn't that great??

I love it!!

There are steps the girls can follow:

D- daily prayer

O- obedience

T- thoughts/ journaling

S- scripture study

Isn't it just tooo much fun????

SO I created a bookmark:
