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!

CET 2017

Before I get started I need to thank the fabulous Aaron Satyanarayana for taking pictures and sharing them.  I never have enough time for pictures of my finished products and he has saved my bacon!  Also, I borrowed a few pictures from the CET website that were taken by a parent committee.  I only seem to… Continue reading CET 2017

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

Scripture Sunday – Jesus IS the Plan 

Hannah is getting to go to the temple for the first time.  As a result she has been discussing the temple prep lessons with me (McKay and Myles through Skype today).  Today's subject is The Plan.  This plan was designed to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.  This plan includes a… Continue reading Scripture Sunday – Jesus IS the Plan
