September and October – so it got away from me… 

So, I've been crazy busy and have been pathetic, at best, in getting some kind of blog post out.  I do have a real reason... I am not at my deck much.  I am constantly on the go.  School started.  That means Seminary started.  I spend lots of time running people to and from activities.… Continue reading September and October – so it got away from me…

August Report 

We got the family pictures back that John Hatch helped us take when McKay and Myles came for a visit. These are a few of my favorites. It was tough to get Lenayah to smile that day. The re-creation of the traditional "kid" photo. The first weekend of August most of the family hopped into… Continue reading August Report

July Report 

Time to report on July!  July started just right... with a visit from McKay, Myles and Lenayah!  They drove from Logan, Utah to plays with us for the 4th of July weekend.  We don't get to see them enough.  That is for sure.  Lenayah wasn't sure what to think of most of us... well, mostly… Continue reading July Report

June Report 

 June started like most months around here... fast and furious.  As soon as the calendar clicked over to the blessed summer month we began Graduation Week.  This is a busy week for me as I help with many activities at the high school... including graduation.  It's a process to get things to sound nice in… Continue reading June Report

The May Report 

 The month of May was full of all kinds of adventure. John and Lilli raised baby chicks in March and April, but decided to get fertilized eggs for a broody hen.  As if the first 10 baby chickens weren't enough, they got 12 eggs!  The broody mama sat and sat... until the little ones began… Continue reading The May Report

April Report 

 April started with General Conference.  Kimber, Ray, Ben and Freya came to listen to Saturday session at our house.  Ben and Freya are such cute little people.  It's fun to watch Ben learn to share and Freya learn to crawl.  She is very motivated by the fact that she wants to do what her big… Continue reading April Report

The March Report 

 March went very fast... and yet... very slow. Near the beginning Hannah was an Academic All Star... again.  Seemed a little ironic since mid-term report cards came and her grades didn't look so good. She was able to get some work turned in so the grades look better now.  Thank goodness!  We need her to… Continue reading The March Report

The February Report 

 February started as a super exciting month... Kimber and Lillian got to go to a So You Think You Can Dance Concert.  You never saw someone so excited!  John drove them up to Portland and dropped them off and then hung out in a parking lot watching movies until they were done. They had some… Continue reading The February Report

January 2015 Report 

We started January with a surprise visit from Felice and Joe.  It turns out that Felice now lives across the field from us.  She is on an exchange program and somehow ended up at the exotic school known as Western Oregon University.  LOL.  Joe had helped her limp her way to Monmouth.  Her car broke… Continue reading January 2015 Report

Guess it’s about time to wrap up 2014 

I really should catch up on blogging things... I've nearly forgotten what happened when... especially when my days blend together. Let's see.... Hannah competed in the school Talent Show singing Never Fall in Love With an Elf... she won. Chad played "Wal-Mart  Girl", a song he wrote... he won Crowd Favorite. We started the set… Continue reading Guess it’s about time to wrap up 2014
