November Report 

It's that time in life... again.  We have another Senior in high school. That means we have a mixture of "fear of the future so I'm paralyzed" and "I don't need your help because I'm nearly an adult and very independent." Hannah has been very busy with the musical theater she loves and the school… Continue reading November Report

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…

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

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

November Report 

November came and went in a big hurry.  It started with auditions for Central High School's winter production of Oklahoma! to be performed in February.  Since Hannah was auditioning I made it a point to help other students, but to stay away from decision making with the audition process.  I was so proud of everyone… Continue reading November Report

October – a month late and several dollars short 

The month of October was a busy one!  Mostly, we were busy with school, the school play, school activities... hey... that's a lot of school. Hannah was one of the honored students at the Academic All Star Assembly.  This is how the school encourages kids to get good grades.  Sadly, most of the kids are… Continue reading October – a month late and several dollars short
