Thanks Mom

September is the month we celebrate my mom's birthday.   My mom is funny, creative, faithful, passionate for family and faith, intelligent, hard working, musical, down to earth, goofy, compassionate, and fearless.  She is an example of discipleship, faith and testimony in action.  I have a few traits from her and there no greater compliment… Continue reading Thanks Mom

A Letter to My Daughters

I actually started this post long before my day started and my #2 daughter called, stressed with being a parent.  "It must be fate," I thought to myself. Dearest children... parenting is hard. Most people don't want to admit it - out loud.  What if someone thought you weren't being a good parent or didn't… Continue reading A Letter to My Daughters

September is Off and We are Running

September is off and running.... and we are running!  I've started building the set for Addams Family the Musical.  The show opens in 7 weeks.  Holy Cow!  So much to do!  At least I am getting kids to come and help.  My friend John Hatch is helping a ton too.  This is going to be… Continue reading September is Off and We are Running

Amazing Little People are Getting Big

Today for Family Friday I have to celebrate two little people that always make me smile. Tomorrow this handsome little guy will turn 1 year old! A year ago this weekend, I drove away from Beckett's house, leaving his proud, yet exhausted parents and his older sister behind to love and care for him.  I… Continue reading Amazing Little People are Getting Big

This Week Eclipsed the Summer!

John took a couple of days off work over the week.  He did a little work on the house. He hired a helper to help him clean moss off the roof.  They made it a little ways before the day warmed up and they had to get down.  Still some work to do.   He… Continue reading This Week Eclipsed the Summer!

Many A New Day

This week seems like the beginning of many new experiences.  It is a little unnerving to wait with no idea (ok a little idea) of what the future might bring. First new experience - Lillian got what I call "big girl hair."  She got high lights and a trim.  What did we get?  A beautiful… Continue reading Many A New Day

Family Friday- The July Update 

July is a busy month around the Boyack house.  There are a few moments where we try to "chill-ax"... ...like Sunday afternoons watching the grand kids play with the hose.  Ben was pretending to shoot Lillian with a laser (the hose water).  Freya was concerned with the results and rushed to Lillian's side to rescue… Continue reading Family Friday- The July Update

Family Friday – Miracle Baby 

My first Family Friday blog is dedicated to this beautiful girl!  Leneyah Lorraine Maxey turned 3 this week!  It's hard to believe how fast she is growing up.  She's smart.  She's sassy.  She is super funny.  She is sensitive.  She is caring. Three years ago, during this time of year while I was in the… Continue reading Family Friday – Miracle Baby

WORK – A four-letter Word 

This blog is for Kimber, who did a great job teaching Relief Society today on the value of work and self-reliance.  So many wanted to contribute to the thoughts shared that she didn’t get to say all the things she had prepared for the lesson, but she got me thinking and I should record my… Continue reading WORK – A four-letter Word

A little Catch up… ok, a ton of Catch UP! 

So much to catch up on... It's been since February.  How does time move so fast? Ok... In February we celebrated Ben's birthday. Chad visited some cool ice things on the big lakes in Michigan. It's hard to believe that he still has this white hat.  My mom made this white hat for me when… Continue reading A little Catch up… ok, a ton of Catch UP!
