BUSY WEEK! First I mostly finished and delivered my set for Suesical the Musical Jr. to my friend, Robert. He teaches at a charter school in Salem and is directing his 8th students for their semester project. I still have to finish the "nest." At least the back drop, and eggs are good to go. I think… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 31

The Week at the Boyacks – Week 30
The week began as a party... a New Year's Eve party. Lillian invited Josie over to have lunch and make cookies. Lillian even bought the ingredients with her own money. Josie brought the stuff she needed for her favorite cookies too. They had a grand time making a mess in my kitchen. They cleaned up...… Continue reading The Week at the Boyacks – Week 30
Week at the Boyack’s – Week 29
Well... It's been a nice relaxing week. I didn't even really take any pictures We didn't do much so why break out the camera? Not to mention, my kids take my phone and run the battery down and the camera too! Thankfully, Kimber had some battery to get a couple pictures of Christmas day. First of… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 29
Week at the Boyack’s – Week 28
I suppose it is time to report on the events of last week. I will save Christmas for a separate post. Last week P90X ruled the family room. Kimber would come over and do an hour dvd. Then Chad would come home from school and the family room was once again a gym. At the end of… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 28
Week at the Boyack’s- Week 27
This was a long week and a busy week. The biggest thing we all did all week was P90X. P90X became more than an exercise program. It became family entertainment... mostly at John's expense. Poor guy. He would be jumping around, working hard, and, ok, moaning through his pain, and the kids would sit on the… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s- Week 27
The Merciful Obtain Mercy
In light of all that has happened in the world today, it was poetic that today I re-read the, The Merciful Obtain Mercy by President Dieter f. Uchtdorf. Truly, the Lord knows what we must face. He inspires His Prophets to teach us the way before we need it most. This "instant classic" is brilliant, and… Continue reading The Merciful Obtain Mercy
Week at the Boyack’s – Week 26
To be honest, We've been rather boring since John and I got back from New Mexico. People go to school and/or to work... we do chores... we hold the fort. We are trying to get into the Christmas Spirit, but we are not always successful. Kimber has come every day to work on Christmas projects… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 26
Mouse trap
Alright, lets jump straight into a conversation I had with Lillian yesterday morning. Imagine. I was cleaning up in the kitchen and I find a drawer full of little black rice-looking pellets. “Gross! Not mice.” “There’s a house in our house?” Lillian screamed and jumped on a chair. As if that would help. That’s right,… Continue reading Mouse trap
Week at the Boyack’s – Week 25
The majority of the week was a normal, traditional week. Kids went to school. John went to work. I taught lessons. I helped at the high school in the Tech Theater class. I taught a class for the OWC drama group. However, the most exciting thing that happened all week is that I went somewhere. I got… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 25
Week at the Boyacks – Week 24 – Chapter 3
After two of the longest yet rewarding and joyous days, Wednesday was a letdown. We gathered all the items we had borrowed for the party, returned them and put them all away. Most of the day was spent cleaning… cleaning up the flood, cleaning up after the wedding stuff dumped in the house… cleaning up… Continue reading Week at the Boyacks – Week 24 – Chapter 3
