Huckleberry Pickin'

This past Sunday, we went up Kelly Canyon and picked to our hearts' content (well just a couple of hours). I was so amazed how close to the road they were. This was our first adventure in the woods here in Idaho. We were able to find unpicked over patches of these awesome berries. We were able to pick about 6 cups for free. The kids were able to help us and they had a cool time exploring the woods near us.

Here are my battle wounds. Purple fingers. I search the whole forest over for the ripest hucks!


We put my visiting mother to work! She did fab and kept Lyndee working.


Clayton enjoyed being out in the forest. It was like medicine! Nice and refreshing.


The kids were so excited to have free reign. They were able to see all types of plants. I think we might go again this weekend after church...No ditching for us here.

New Calling

I no longer plan and hold the activity days for the 8 and 9 year old girls. After doing that for over a year and half, someone else gets to do it. Yay! I can't tell you how much I am going to miss doing activity days. I enjoyed the girls and bonded with them. Now I am onto bigger and better things. I get to share a calling with an awesome lady in my ward teaching 14 and 15 year olds. I'm glad that I don't have to teach every weekend. The church has updated the curriculum and I am in love with it. I love that it takes the responsibility of the learning to the kids and helps them come more converted unto Christ. The teenagers are great (well some of them need a kick in the pants). I taught them for the last two weeks and I am off of teaching them for two weeks. I searched sugardoodle.net for some ideas and I had the students create a notebook to bring back and forth so they can write their thoughts down during the week. Some did partake of that some didn't but that is o...

Oh the crazies! Stay away!

I am changing the name of my blog to something that does not have our name. As you will notice I am getting rid of my children's names as well. There are a lot of posts that I am going back into to revise and check. Why?? I had some creepy guy make two comments on my daughter and little girls in general. They weren't bad comments just enough to make me a little squirmish. That is why I don't let comments post right away. I have been thinking of going private with this blog. So for now I am making those changes.

Yes I posted something

Hi, So, I haven't felt the urge to blog. I don't think I am depressed or anything. I just haven't felt like it. I am going to do better.   For Halloween 2015, Lyndee was in my classroom. She was a goddess. Brayden was a 5th grader and he did his Grid kid jersey. I was a hippie.   Here is a few Christmas 2015 pictures. We decided to make our own personal pizza for Christmas eve. It was easy peasy. Might do that again.  Lyndee turned 10 on the 31st of December 2015.  Brayden played basketball again. His team wasn't that great, but he was.  In June, on the day after school, we did the Color Run at Snake River Landing in Idaho Falls. It was loads of fun and we got real dirty. :)
