As with most, our Fourth of July looked different this year. We normally go to Idaho where we spend the holiday with extended family watching the parade, barbecuing, and fireworks. With all of these events cancelled, we headed over to Utah instead and spent the weekend with my family. We started the day with a …
Sarah’s Spring Showcase
Sarah started dance this last year and it has been so much fun watching her begin to love a new hobby. She is currently in a jazz, tap, and ballet class {it’s all combined in the same class} and she has really enjoyed it. When COVID hit in March, Sarah’s dance class was put on …
Jacob’s 8th Birthday
Eight years old. I cannot believe it! This boy brings us so much joy and is an incredible blessing to our lives. We love him so much and were so happy to celebrate HIM. Jacob got up and going first thing and instead of doing the breakfast we planned – he said he wanted donuts! …
Father’s Day
“Perhaps the most essential of a father’s work is to turn the hearts of his children to their Heavenly Father. If by his example as well as his words a father can demonstrate what fidelity to God looks like in day-to-day living, that father will have given his children the key to peace in this …
Benjamin Lewis
BIG EMOTIONS! If I were to describe Benji in two words it would be those = BIG EMOTIONS. This boy feels all things BIG these days, which is pretty great a lot of the time {because he is a generally pretty happy, carefree kid} but he is also embracing a bit of the “three-nager” qualities …

We also want to share with family and friends so that there is hopefully a greater understanding. AND …
Spring 2020 Schoolhouse
I decided a couple months ago that I was going to switch things up a little bit. Ever since we started homeschooling, I’ve been doing a monthly update on all of our happenings. I’ve really enjoyed doing it and looking back on things. However, it was just becoming a little too much work for me …
Lydia’s 1st Birthday
This little lady is ONE YEARS OLD! Lydia is an incredible little spirit. She brings a light to our family that is unique and beautiful. She is everyone’s “favorite” and is endlessly patient and sweet with all of us. Favorite Things Books Piggies by Audrey Wood & Don Wood Tell Me Something Happy Before I …
2019 – 2020 End of Year Showcase
A couple months ago, Jacob and Sarah told me that they wanted to have an opportunity to share what they are learning and doing in school with grandparents. So we came up with this idea! We school year-round, but we do take a much lighter load during the summer. It’s worked out wonderfully for us. …
