Home school Christmas Party
In Holidays, Home Education, Kids on December 21, 2007 at 10:45 pm |
Thanks to the Goddard family for inviting us to a Christmas Party with our home school friends. We did a craft decorating Christmas trees, heard a story and saw a puppet show about giving, put together 40 education kits for the humanitarian center, and had lots of fun playing and talking! Ben’s favorite part was “playing with Max Goddard”. Abby’s favorite part was “making my special trees”-she made 2. All 4 our our kids crashed in the car on the way home-a sign of true success. Merry Christmas
Winter Wonderland
In Family Times, Homestead Happiness on December 12, 2007 at 4:00 pmOur first snow of the year. The photos speak for themselves!
Volcanic Eruption
In Home Education, Kids on December 12, 2007 at 3:52 amBen got this volcano kit from Cool Aunt Amber back in July and we just now got around to making it and watching it erupt. It was good for several hours of entertainment! Thayne didn’t quite figure out that vinegar and baking soda don’t taste good and went back for several experimental licks-all with the same negative outcome. Ben had to experiment with squirting green food coloring in his mouth.
Ward Christmas Party
In Holidays on December 12, 2007 at 3:16 amFor our ward Christmas Party program, we were asked to play the part of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. I suppose we qualify because we were the only ones in the ward with a newborn baby. So we agreed and hear are a few photos from the Night in Bethlehem. The kids only kept their nativity clothes on for about 5 minutes.
Las Vegas Reunion
In Extended Family, Vacations on December 11, 2007 at 11:32 pmEarly November, we road tripped down to Vegas for a family reunion with my siblings. We stayed at Circus Circus and ate at alot of buffets. It was a whirl wind, quick trip! So fun to be together with my whole family-all six kids at one time. That is a rare moment. Thanks Dave for planning it!
Student Becomes the Teacher

A few days ago we ventured to the Mapleton City Library. I was quite pleased with myself for taking “all 4″ children to the Library by myself. The trip was a success! We loaded up the stroller basket with books, then met dado at the park for lunch, went to group piano lessons and headed for the homestead. First thing upon entering the house, Ben loaded up all of the books next to himself on the couch and started reading. Within a minute or so, Abby curled up next to him and asked him to read to her. It was definitely a moment worthy of documentation.
