My daughter has been getting into family history lately and that excites me because that is about the age that I began being interested too. She's started a project of collecting family stories and I think its going to be great fun to collaborate together and discover more about our genealogy! In this newly-found quest, my daughter found out about a local Family History Fair a few weeks ago and so we went and had a great time learning through some classes. One of the classes that I attended talked about some great family history apps from BYU, that make family history come alive for families! I'm so excited to share these with you today and I hope you will try them out with your families! The Family History Technology Lab, sponsored by the Department of Computer Science at Brigham Young ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 49
Monday, November 29, 2010 We traveled home today and the kids got to skip school. Cleaning and doing laundry and trying to get organized for the following week!

Project 365 | Week 40
Monday, September 29, 2009 Beth was such a good girl today. She was my little helper and since I couldn't carry things since I had to use crutches, she helped me do laundry and dishes. I am so grateful that my kids are old enough to be independent and able to help me as I just feel so helpless right now. I'm also so grateful to Cody for his help picking Beth up from school! I couldn't do this without the help I'm getting from my family! Tuesday, September 30, 2009 Joey's parents came up today and took our car to get it fixed. We haven't been able to use the car for over a year and it isn't even licensed, so we are so grateful that they were able to come up and get it. Our parking space looks so bare now since Joey's car is gone and we moved the van over to the guest parking until ... [Read More]
