I used to do this regularly each school year, but haven’t recently and wanted to bring it back! Here are our plans for our schoolhouse this year. Family Jacob Sarah Benjamin Lydia

Mark’s 43rd Birthday
We had a birthday boy last week! Mark celebrated his 43rd birthday! He mostly spent it the “adult” way and had to work which meant he had to sleep most of the day. But we got dinner to-go (per Mark’s request), had a little family picnic, and then ate lemon poppy seed cake. We are …

Love of Family History Something that is a big part of who I am that I don’t talk about as much is my love for family history work. It is something that I feel passionate about. It is something I feel called to do and love it. It is incredibly rewarding and I feel strongly …
Camp de Vida: Day 4
Day Four – our final day of Camp de Vida. We were multi-tasking again today with therapies, so it was a pretty short “camp” day. Morning Devotional We had our last devotional on trust. We studied another oldie by Elder L. Tom Perry. His message titled “Trust in the Lord” was given in April of …
Camp de Vida: Day 3
Day Three for Camp de Vida was definitely more relaxed. For the first two days, we dedicated the whole day to camp, but we knew therapies and other appointments were happening the last two days. Hike While Lydie and I went to horse therapy, Mark and the bigs went on a morning hike. They hiked …
Camp de Vida: Day 2
Day 2 was fantastic! I don’t know if I just stumbled upon the magic schedule sauce last year but I kept things pretty similar – in that each day of Camp de Vida is progressively lighter and it has worked wonders yet again this year. Morning Devotional For our morning devotional we studied an oldie …
Camp de Vida: Day 1
Our 2025 Camp de Vida has begun! As we approached this week I felt far less prepared than I was last year, and almost postponed (which more than likely would have meant it just didn’t happen), but I am so glad I pushed forward. Day 1 was filled with some beautiful memories, laughter, and some …
Schoolhouse // Summer 2025
This has felt like the BUSIEST summer of our lives! Oh my heavens. And I truly am not one who likes to be busy. Productive – yes – busy – no. We have had a lot going on but the kids have been so diligent in doing their school work when we have been home …
Braces
This little cutie finally got her braces on! She’s been working with an expander and all sorts of other in the background kind of gear but the braces are finally on! Sarah was so excited, although her teeth have been a little tender. Can’t wait to see what her smile looks like in a couple …
Grandma’s 85th Birthday
This last weekend we got to celebrate one of our very favorite people! Grandma Dixie celebrated her 85th birthday and we were so happy we got to spend it with her and family. The kiddos and I made our way over to Soda Springs on Saturday and we had a great drive. I love that …
