Christmas this year was beautiful, wonderful, and definitely memorable. Our Christmas celebrations began on Christmas Eve with the children opening their traditional new pjs. Little Angels John Deere pjs perfect for the hay raking crew and Special Dark. We watched the original version of Miracle on 34th Street while eating some delicious appetizers. After the […]

12 Days of Christmas Swap
I had a lot of fun participating in the 12 Days of Christmas Swap hosted by Sami at Symmetry in Motion. I have to admit I totally forgot about taking pictures of the 12 gifts I received as part of the swap. I also didn’t remember to keep track of what I got each day. […]

One. One little boy amidst seven girls. On Friday I drove most of the kids in to town for a Primary activity day. My son refused to get out of the van. “I just want to go with you, Mama.” I didn’t argue. We dropped off his oldest sister at the high school to take […]

Just…….here
Well, poor little Hershey caught the stomach virus and is sick today. The three older girls and I are taking turns holding her so we can still try to get a few things done. It doesn’t help that I am also feeling just a wee bit squeamish too. Can I just tell you how much […]
A little bit of this, a little bit of that
Do you have certain kids who are just big whiners when they are sick? This little guy is not one of them. Seriously he is such a trooper! He had a stomach virus two nights ago. I could hear some strange coughing from the baby monitor and ran into his room. He was standing next […]
Christmas School
Every year we take December off from our usual scholarly studies to focus on Christmas School. In the past we have done Christmas carols, Names of Christ, Christmas Symbols, etc. I also like to throw in some fun mini units about snowflakes, or hot chocolate, or gingerbread. ☺ This year we will be doing two […]

Thanksgiving Silhouettes
Thanksgiving, when celebrated with Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s side of the family is never a small affair. We had 42 people for dinner with three families missing. One was sick with the flu, another went to St. George, UT, and another stayed in Washington. Aside from spending time with family, I look forward to the delicious […]
Someday
Life. It has a way of changing course, twisting and turning, up and down, and even loop-de-looping. It’s a good thing we are adaptable creatures. Oh yes, we are adaptable, even though sometimes we stubbornly wallow in the mire of self-pity not wanting to accept change. We cannot stop the inevitable from occurring. We can, […]

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. A day to gather with friends and family, offering thanks for the bounteous blessings received throughout the year. Another reason it is one of my favorites is on November 28, 1985, Thanksgiving Day, one day after my eighth birthday, I was baptized. I love to reflect […]
College Bound
Sorry this is posting so late today. I meant to have it done last night but ran out of time. Woke up this morning to a blizzard and while I was studying my scriptures before the rest of the house got up the power went out. I finished studying by lantern light which was fun, […]
