This week isn't every eventful We actually did a ton of stuff, but I didn't take many pictures. I think it was mostly because we were all going in different directions. Most of the week we had someone missing.., leaving us with 2 or 3 kids at home. Most nights I made dinner and no… Continue reading The Week at the Boyack’s – Week 2

The Week at the Boyack’s – Week One
My family is soon to be spreading out across the countryside. Siblings and parents from Idaho to Utah, to Texas to Arizona and right here in Oregon, not to mention missionaries who are like family and friends that have moved far away, I decided it was about time that I started reporting what the family… Continue reading The Week at the Boyack’s – Week One
Castle Camp
If you read my previous post you will remember I don't really like camping. This trip really isn't much different. We started later than I wanted to. I decided go up through Forest Grove and down to Seaside before cutting south to Cannon Beach. I thought the straighter roads would help with car sicknesses that… Continue reading Castle Camp
Camping Confessions
It has been said that I am the best camper of all campers that hate camping. I am not sure about the “best camper” title, but I can, with confidence, say that I hate camping. People say they go camping in order to 'relax'. Whatever! What is so RELAXING?! Living off the land is… not… Continue reading Camping Confessions
We’re Going to the Zoo!
A couple of weeks ago, I took anyone that would get in the car and went to the zoo. John, McKay and Chad elected to stay home. McKay needed to do school work. John wanted to work in the yard. Chad wanted to sleep. However, Kimber, Ray, Ben, Hannah, Lillian, JennieLinn, and Maliah were game for… Continue reading We’re Going to the Zoo!
I Give You Hannah Boyack
I've been working on cleaning up my blog and moving a few of my favorite posts to the new web/blog site. I came across a post of Hannah, my #4 child singing as an 8th grader. I posted it. How could I not? That sent me down a rabbit hole of watching every Youtube video… Continue reading I Give You Hannah Boyack
The Most Talented Hannah Boyack
Hannah is growing into one incredible performer. She is only 14 and sings like a pro. She always amazes me. In April, she was asked to sing for the Mr. and Ms. Central pageant. The pageant earned money for a kid in the school who needed extra help because an operation had left him paralyzed. … Continue reading The Most Talented Hannah Boyack
Someone is getting BIG!
Benjermin is getting so big! Kimber and Ray blessed him this month. My parents came over from Bend. Ray's grandparents came from Utah. My mom helped me make his blessing outfit. John got him a Missionary tag. He was so cute! He was nice through the blessing. No crying. Kimber is doing a great job… Continue reading Someone is getting BIG!
Children
My greatest joy and my greatest sorrows come in and through my children and my husband. This morning I read the Conference Talk given by Elder Neil L. Anderson in October 2011, entitled Children. What a sweet reminder that "the family is ordained of God. Families are central to our Heavenly Father's plan..." As I… Continue reading Children
Pumpkin soup
Many people have ask how I made my pumpkin soup. To be honest, I am mainly a dump-in-what-I-can-to-come-close-to-the-recipe kind of cook. Thus, the following is as close as I can get to the recipe I made for... 4 tablespoons butter (I used Smart butter) 1 cup chopped onion 1 clove garlic, crushed 1-2 tablespoon Thai red curry… Continue reading Pumpkin soup
