Our missionary has been gone 2 weeks now. We miss her. Nothing is the same without her. For example: Lilli and I went to the Regional Thespian Competition. We rode the bus to Eugene. I spent the day judging tech entries. Lilli spent the day competing. She did a great job for her first competition. … Continue reading Week 2 – A week of Learning

Adulting 101 – Fire Safety
Yesterday I had the State Fire Marshal visit my area of the school. Although I do many things right when it comes to safety, I had a few things I needed to improve on. At first it felt annoying and a bit nit-picky. Then, I realized she was just concerned with safety. I needed to… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Fire Safety
Week 1 of Our Missionary’s Service Down
What a week! Here is what you missed. I missed Lilli going to SnoBall... I was working. She went with her friend Zoe… A girl in her choir came over with her sister to help Lilli get ready.

In Honor of Grandma
For Family Friday this week I choose to remember my grandma, Clara Lee White. She died on Friday, a couple weeks shy of her 92 birthday. She was the youngest child of Joseph Sharp Packer and Jesse Anderson. She didn't talk about her childhood much. There are a few stories out there that would lead… Continue reading In Honor of Grandma
From Mama Bear to Mama Swan
This week I wasn't very good about taking pictures of the family activities. We were super busy with school, work, opening a show, and prepping to send Hannah off on her mission. I really should do better at it though, or Family Friday will begin to get rather boring! Perhaps what I should do is… Continue reading From Mama Bear to Mama Swan
Beginning a New Year – It’s a Zoo!
We began 2018 by celebrating with friends... ... and family. I delivered a back drop that Hannah and I painted and picked up some things we are borrowing for Lion King, JR. I felt like I was driving down the road with a zoo! Those are the Rhinos and giraffes behind me. LOL. I am… Continue reading Beginning a New Year – It’s a Zoo!

Wrapping up 2017 at the Boyacks
What a great week! John returned from visiting his parents. His mom gave him this beautiful tea cup owned by his Great Grandma Lillian Brockbank. He had a good visit with his family.

Christmas is Coming
It has been a fairly relaxing week of getting ready for Christmas. It started with lots of cleaning up and laundry. Not much is picture worthy in that. Meanwhile, John went to Springville to visit family for the week. He went to visit and to help his siblings with some family things. He helped his… Continue reading Christmas is Coming
