Love My New Camera and David Wins for 1st One in the Pool for 2015

I love my new camera!!  

So awesome to be able to take action shots that are not all blurry!

Love My Sweet Rachel

Rachel curled her hair so of course we had to take 

pictures because she looked so pretty!

 Pink inpatients still going strong since the weather has had lots of rain but no freezing temps yet.

The Great Picture Idea That Wasn't So Great...for Rachel Anyway.

Julia 16 and Jared 18

Julia had a great idea to take a picture with everyone sitting on top of this stone wall... 

 They tried to get Rachel up first

 Then Jared next-

 Rachel started screaming that she was going to fall which Jared seemed to think was funny-

 Posing as Rachel continues to scream-

 Finally decides to help her but is too weak from laughing-              

David. cheering Jared on as he tries to get 

Rachel to stay on the wall-

 Rachel wanted down but David was happy to get up-

 Brothers on the wall together

Looking at the beautiful pink sunset

 Rachel vowing to never take another sibling picture again

Never did get a picture of all four of them together!

Brothers and Sisters at the Park Sunday Afternoon

Rachel and Leah

Rachel was able to stay with Leah for the weekend of General Conference because she was going to her on-line private schools distance education conference.  Liahona Academy has their own EFY type conference every year the week following our churches GC.  This was Rachel's first year attending.

Back to Blogging- Better than FaceBook!!

I miss my family blog and wish I would've spent more time posting pictures here than on Face Book.
I have missed a whole year of family pictures and events which makes me feel like I need to go back and make up all I missed but I think I will not over-whelm myself and just take it one day at a time.
I am teaching two levels in home-school, 7th and 4th, and with them both using Liahona Academy it is quite time consuming.  I also signed them both up for extra-curricular classes through my charter school on both Tuesdays and Thursdays so there does not seem like there is enough hours in my day anymore to get every thing done.  Live and learn... only one day a week from now on for extra curricular!!!.

Rachel's 11th Birthday Party

This photo slideshow customized with Smilebox

My baby boy started cub scouts yesterday night. On the way home in the car he must have said twenty times "I really love cub scouts!" First thing he asked me this morning, "How many more days until I get to go to cub scouts again?" Thanks Bro LeBaron and Bro Haueter for making his first time at scouts so great. (He was even practicing his push-ups this morning just in case the boys get rowdy again.)  — with Sheldon Maughan.

Polar Bear vs. Walrus

David was able to give an impromptu oral presentation after

 learning about polar bears and walruses on PBS Kids.
