This week we celebrated fall.  McKay took the little people on a leaf hunt.  Case and Lagi had fun picking their favorite colors and shapes of leaves and walking in the crunchy sounds of fall. These two crack me up.  McKay would ask Case to "move it." and Lagi would start singing, " I like… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 22 

This week I have the privilege of bringing to you a guest writer.  Lillian's school asked her to take pictures and record what happened in her week.  Here is what she said... with a little commentary here and there from mom.  I am Lilli, Wendy's nine year old daughter, I made this banner for my sister… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 21 

It is almost Halloween.  Time for pumpkin carving.  🙂  I was teaching all Monday afternoon and evening (as I usually do on Mondays) so Kimber and Ray Packed up Case, Lillian, Hannah and Chad and headed for a pumpkin patch.  Kimber's "young married" friends were having a FHE activity gathering pumpkins and carving them.  They… Continue reading The week at the Boyacks – Week 20 

This week is more about events than about day to day activities.  By far, the high light of my week was my surprise "Day Off" on Thursday.  I came home from Seminary and started entering my attendance in the computer.  I noticed I had a Facebook message.  It was John.  He declared it my day… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 19 

What a busy week!  At least the week always begins with a peaceful Sunday family dinner.  It is hard to get everyone to sit together.  Chad doesn't like to come to the table because he rarely eats what we are eating and because he can't bare to turn off football. However, he will make time… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 18 

This week was actually an exciting and busy week.  As you could tell from last week's photo of Chad in Hannah's dress, Chad has been experimenting with with clothes.  This week he decided to wear his pajamas like this.  He has lost enough weight that he can put both legs in one pj leg and… Continue reading The Week at the Boyack’s – Week 17 

This week is best summed up in events.  We try to feed the missionaries once a week for lunch.  It all started as a way to make a connection with Chad.  That doesn't always work.  But we keep trying. This week we served them Frogmore Stew.  We learned this lunch from Myles.  The missionaries were… Continue reading The Week at the Boyack’s – Week 16 

This week has been an unusual week.  We all did school.  We all did work.  We all got involved in our various activities.  Once again, I wasn't very good about taking pictures.  I guess I just think that we are too boring and don't really have a ton to show the world.  Then Kimber sent… Continue reading The Week at the Boyack’s – Week 15 

This week I did a lousy job taking pictures.  I didn't really get any.  We didn't do too many extra things to make the week exciting.  Hannah went to school, play practice and her final week of HMS Pinafore at Pentacle Theater.  For the last 4 weeks I've been bugging her to take pictures of… Continue reading The Week at The Boyack’s – Week 14 

This week school started in full force.  Tuesday was freshman day.  Hannah went to the high school.  She has chosen to go to school full time this year.  I'm not sure I like it.  I'm going to miss her happy influence at home. Meanwhile, at home, Case has been looking for ways to entertain himself. … Continue reading The Week at the Boyack’s – Week 13
