This is the view from my deck this morning. Bales and bales of hay waiting to be hauled, with mist and snow on the mountains, and a slight drizzle of rain in the valley. This was the view from my deck yesterday. With the impending rainy weather coming, as much hay as possible was put […]

Yellowstone Through the Kids’ Eyes
For our trip to Yellowstone I thought it would be fun to get the younger ones, who don’t have cameras, their own $5 disposable camera to use on our trip. They were so excited when they found out! Some were very careful with what they took pictures of, others were pretty shutter happy – until […]
Our Trip to Yellowstone
Since you can’t visit Yellowstone right now, I thought I’d share photos of our visit there. I realize they aren’t spectacular in any way and there aren’t a ton of the actual scenery. I was too busy being in the moment to worry about capturing it with my camera. Plus, I’m afraid of heights so […]
Packing for Road Trips With a Large Family
We took the whole family to Yellowstone before dropping my oldest off at BYU-I. We were gone for four days. I love going on trips with my family! Packing for those trips however is a nightmare. Seriously, everyone with their own suitcase or bag (usually we end up with 10), where the clothes gets all […]
She’s gone
Bon Bon is now officially a college student! We miss having her around, hearing her play the piano, eating her fabulous meals but growing up is a part of life. She’s having a great time, has adjusted well with a bit of homesickness but not nearly as bad as we thought she would have so […]

Places, Everyone! by Aleisha
It was a quiet afternoon. Cam was in his crib, taking a much-needed nap. Lilly was contentedly playing in her room with her Fisher Price dollhouse. Though it was chilly outside, golden sunlight was streaming through my windows. It felt warm and cozy in my (momentarily) peaceful house. I went into Lilly’s room to check […]
Happiness in Family Life by Chris Staggs
Who doesn’t like words and actions that evoke joy, happiness, peace, tranquility, confidence, and love? I may not be flowery in my language, but I certainly appreciate words and conversations that bring about those feelings. As partner to my wife raising four boys, ages three to 13, we like to hear our boys complement and […]

The Good Stuff! by April McMurtrey
There are not many television commercials which have left me a better person for having watched them! But there was one, a cotton commercial aired many years ago, which did just that. The scene was in a somewhat messy master bedroom. A mother and father were getting ready for what looked like a special night […]
