Pre-Mission Brother Pictures!

Alex is off to serve his Mission in Brazil on Wednesday, so I thought we would take some special pictures of just he and each of his five brothers. Here they are!

Some Things I've Made Lately

Eric says I've gone knitting crazy. I say it is a little like one of those stress release balls. Either way, it is constructive.

Book of Mormon Summer Study

I just listened to Elder Bednar's talk about the three holy habits and decided it was time for me to plan a summer Book of Mormon study for my three young children. My older ones can read the Book of Mormon cover to cover and that is a reasonable goal for them. My little ones could never. So, what to do? Well, I'm thinking of a hero study. Maybe each week this summer we could focus on a different hero from the Book of Mormon. Obviously, I need to flesh this out. If anyone has any ideas, let me know! I want to be able to stand as a watchwoman from the tower for my children.

Maui - 2010

There is absolutely nothing like spending a week in Maui alone with your husband. Every day was an adventure.
Every day was relaxing.
The only question left on my mind is:
When can I go again?

Ahhhh, the Island life.

Our Little Tax Deduction (we wish)

Astro arrived on New Year's Eve. Five of the boys, my mother, and I all got to watch. The boys said it was kinda gross, but really cool. That's just life on the farm!
