We have some super exciting news :)
So much has happened this year for our son, Kevin :)
Kevin became our first Home Schooled High School Graduate~ boy was that a learning process.
After much thought, guidance and prayer, Kevin has finally decided what he wants to do with his life. I am so proud of him for his decision. Even though it took a lot of time, effort, determination, a few practice tests, a huge load of paperwork, even more paperwork (since he was home schooled) and 2 trips to MEPS, he finally made it.
I am so proud to announce that Kevin was sworn into the United States Air Force a few days before his 19th birthday. My baby is growing up- sniffle sniffle :)
Now we play the waiting game. As he awaits his job notification and Basic Training ship out date, he is super excited about this new chapter in his life. We are being told that he can possibly ship out in Spring.
I can't wait to see where his life will lead him :) I know that where ever his life leads him, he will do great things :)

Homemade Creamer Recipe Take 2
Do you remember my original homemade creamer project? It didn't go as I had hoped. I decided to give it another go around :)
I didn't want to waste the creamer I had already made and hoped to salvage it. I had this bright idea to add the creamer along with a few dates for sweetness to my food processor to see if I could thicken it up.
How did it go, you might ask? :)
Oh boy :( Not so well. I made a huge mess. Well, that was a fail. I put it in my blender to see if I could salvage the little I had left.
I let it blend for about 5 minutes and it thickened up quite nicely :)
It was almost like whipped cream in my coffee- Mmmmm. I just wish it was a little sweeter.
Now after all of that, I am not sure I will be making it again. At least not in my food processor- lesson learned :)
After adding all the costs, this homemade coffee creamer costs exactly the same as my almond creamer from the store :( If I can get the sweetness just right, this creamer would be heavenly. I may be doing more experimentation with this recipe in the future but for the time being I will be keeping my almond coffee creamer from the store.

Straining any bits of non processed dates. I don't think chunky creamer would be too appetizing :) |

Saturday Family Fun Adventure
I had run out of Saturday Family Fun Advenuture ideas and asked the boys where they would like to go. They both said that they would love to go back to the Imaginarium. So, off to the Imaginarium we went.
I am really glad we went. We ended up seeing the animal show we missed last time :)
Here are some pictures of our adventure:
The younger boys had a lot of fun even though the activities were the same when we were there last time :( But this time, we did get to see the animal show. The boys were excited to see that Minecraft was considered an educational activity :)
I can't what to see where our next Family Fun Adventure takes us :)

Saturday Family Fun Day
This Family Fun Saturday took us to Aviation Day at Paige Field in Fort Myers. This is our 2nd year going and we love all the planes and excitement. They not only have planes of all shapes and sizes, they offer helicopter rides for a fee, they have bouncy houses, obstacle courses and really neat demonstrations. All for free, aside from the helicopter rides and vendors. They do ask that you bring some non perishable food for the food pantry.
Here are some pictures of our fun time:
Even though this year, there were not as many planes as last year, we all had a blast. Everyone was so nice and took the time to talk and explain how things worked or any questions the boys had. We were able to walk in the plane that Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis herself rode in when she was the First Lady. We were able to see her seat on the airplane. How cool is that?
I can't wait to see where our next Saturday Family Fun Adventure takes us.

Lowe's Build & Grow Clinic~ December 12, 2015
Lowe's will be hosting a Build & Grow Clinic
on December 12, 2015 at 10am. My younger boys love doing them and
the older ones love helping the younger ones with their project:)
If you are looking for a great free activity that you can do with your kids- you should check out the Lowe's Build & Grow Clinics. Little Michael and Nathan love them. They love being able to do hands on projects with our help.
Once you and your child(ren) complete the project they will receive a neat patch to put on their Lowe's Build & Grow apron. If this is your first clinic, your child(ren) will receive a free Lowe's Build & Grow apron and goggles:) The more clinics you do, the more patches you get to put on your kids apron and they can show them off with pride:)

To sign up for this Build & Grow Clinic, simply go to the Lowe's Build & Grow Clinic website,
which they have redone to make it more user friendly. I am loving the
new website. You register all your information. Then when you visit
the website to sign up for an upcoming clinic, all you have to do is
sign in and check which kids you are signing up. Don't forget to print
and sign the waiver. And you and your child(ren) are ready for a really
cool FREE hands on project.

November 2015 Goals Update
How did we do with our November goals? Let's see:
1) To not eat out or at least to not pay out of pocket, with the exception of tips. If we want to treat the family to a meal out, we will make sure we have a gift card to cover all of us.
Did fabulous with this goal.
2) Pay off our last credit card
Still chipping away at this. We are very thankful that we were able to make another nice big dent in this credit card balance :)
3) Not to use any of our credit cards for 2015. To pay cash for everything.
Doing great with this :)
4) To maintain our grocery budget. Our current grocery budget is $400 month for our family of 6. Our goal is to use up to that amount to feed our family healthy nourishing meals. If we are lucky enough to come under our monthly budget, we will save that amount.
We did well and still had $0.61 leftover to spend :)
5) To create a monthly meal plan for our family, to use leftovers more efficiently and to make use of everything in our pantry and freezer.
Doing fabulous with this.
6) Lose weight- My goal is to lose 10lbs this year.
I am still working on this. My scale is not budging :( But when I look in mirror, I swear I look slimmer :) Hubby and I went out for Black Friday sale at Kohls. They sent me a $5 coupon and I had a gift card. I decided to get jeans in a smaller size than what I am currently wearing in hopes of kicking my butt in gear to lose this weight. Hubby encouraged me to try them on to see how they fit. I was so excited. They FIT!! The jeans in a smaller size fit so nicely. I think I danced out of the dressing room. So I must be doing something right :)
7) Complete the Couch to 5K with hubby
Did not complete any of the Couch to 5K program :(
8) Morning devotions, prayer time and more bible reading
Doing great with our church's website, which will read the bible verses to you :)
9) Monthly date night with hubby- whether we go out or stay at home, pop popcorn and rent a movie
Hubby and I went out to a place called Origami~ a cute sushi place. It was great. We had so much fun and can't wait to go on our next date night :)
10) To spend quality family time together. With everyones schedule and us running all over creation, I would love to spend more quality time together- no tv- us playing games, talking, enjoying each others company. I think we are going to claim Saturday's as family fun day:)
We took the boys to Aviation Day and to the Imaginarium
11) Not to use our dryer to save on electricity and lower our electricity bill
Doing great with this~ Electric bill going down :)
12) To do 1 project a month and blog about it
I made homemade coffee creamer. I still need to try this again. My first attempt didn't go so well :(
13) My older boys want to run a 5K~ a color run to be more specific. So, I am jumping on board with them, after I finish my Couch to 5K program :)
Finally got a date for a color run but am so not ready for it yet. We are hoping to catch the next one.
14) To make and use more non toxic cleaners
I am still researching and working on this one :)
