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
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'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
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
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!
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
I love peach season! With the exception of bees. I don't like them much. This year we picked around 250 pounds. That was a blessing. The peach orchards have had a bad year. The spring in the valley was too wet and most peach growers have nothing on their trees. I have come to like… Continue reading Peaches!
We have had a few fun summer adventures in the past couple of weeks. First, Hannah and I went on a road trip to Centrialia Washington to my cousin's Daughter's wedding. It was at a cute barn and had a Western theme. The food was great and the company was even better. It was so… Continue reading A few summer adventures
Last Saturday I made the cool mom list... at least for a few hours. The son of a friend of mine, organised a music day at a local shop. I dragged the kids to see the bands. Our favorite was a Reggae band called Sol Seed. They are from Eugene. We loved them! They play in… Continue reading A little music, fun treats, and an awe inspiring show
This week I need to include that Hannah and McKay went on the Stake Pioneer trek. All of their belongings fit into a 5-gallon bucket and a dry bag. It rained a bit the first day, but cleared up and was sunny the next. Although I think they had some fun, they also claim they… Continue reading A week of Cheap Summer Fun
