Approaching Spring

Spring is here!  My little flowers are beginning to peak their little heads out.  But the craziest thing happened!  Today it snowed! What the heck!  Its two days into spring.  I'm ready to play in the garden.  I am also looking forward to my roses blooming. This week I mustered up a little energy and… Continue reading Approaching Spring

It’s a Big Week!

What a week!  I have spent the majority of it in bed!  A sickness hit me like a ton of bricks.  My chest hurts.  I cough non-stop.  I had a fever, but that has calmed now.  My body aches, especially my head!  I didn't get out of bed for nearly 4 days.  I only got… Continue reading It’s a Big Week!

Warrior Wednesday

I am Raising Warrior Moms

Yesterday I was there to witness the birth of my grandson, Holland Maitland Jessop.  My daughter, his mom, is a warrior!  Her labors and deliveries are much faster than mine ever were.  She really "labored" all day in what experts call pre-labor.  It is a labor that is uncomfortable, makes you super tired, and moves… Continue reading I am Raising Warrior Moms

Starting a New Season

This week has been a week on the run!  John had work and he would come home to work on projects for me.  Lilli and I had the last 5 shows of The Lion King.  I was a sub for a couple of days.  I taught some voice lessons too.  John has been trying to… Continue reading Starting a New Season

Another Opening, Another show

  The best way to describe the past week with the Boyack family this week is a mad dash to opening night of Lion King, Jr. at Central High school.  From finishing touches, to long rehearsals, to opening night and sell out houses, it has been a full week. First, the beginning of the week… Continue reading Another Opening, Another show

Family Fun this Week

It has been a couple of crazy weeks with the comings and going at the Boyack house. There was Valentine's day.  My friends gave me this cool mug and a gift certificate for a massage.  John gave me a potted plant and a nice card.  I got him some recorded books, but I lost them… Continue reading Family Fun this Week

Happy Birthday Ben!

Earlier this month the most amazing little boy turned 6.  Ben came into my life as my first grand child.  I loved being at his birth.  His mom was a champ! This sweet, happy baby has grown into a sweet happy boy. His Aunt Lilli cried when she found out he was going to be… Continue reading Happy Birthday Ben!

Week 2 – A week of Learning

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

And Our Missionary is Off

It's been a couple of weeks since I reported on the family comings and goings.  We have been busy!  We closed The Bully Plays.  It was a class project.  It was super fun for me have Lilli in this class.  You can read more about how this production went here.   Lili has been in… Continue reading And Our Missionary is Off

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
