Family Home Evening
For our Family Home Evening this past week we reviewed the year and talked about what we were looking forward to this year. Here, in no particular order, is our list of things that were noteworthy in 2008: Andrew ate lots of Nanna’s hospital food Andrew got 2 trophies from bowling in the summer Lisa […]

Another year, another Halloween. I guess since they are getting a little older, Andrew and Matthew were particularly excited about Halloween this year. Lisa bought a few decorations and put them up. For one of our Family Home Evening activities we made a haunted gingerbread house. Andrew got to wear his costume to school on […]
Last night while Andrea, Andrew and Matthew carved a couple of pumpkins (pictures of that later), Julia and I made donut balls. I had a recipe around for a while that I wanted to try. Our first couple burned the second we put them in the oil. I guess it was too hot 🙂 We […]
No, that’s not the score of a game from last night’s Family Home Evening. It’s how many cinnamon rolls we all ate (Andrea left before they were done in the oven).
Last Sunday we had a welfare specialist for the Church speak in Sacrament meeting, and provided some training for the Ward leaders. Along those lines, our Family Home Evening lesson was on service.

On Monday for Family Home Evening I taught a lesson on the creation. Each of us drew one of the “days” of the creation and then I summarized the story of the creation from Genesis. We tried to explain to Andrew that it was like following a recipe… there were different steps involved. Then we […]
Monday night brought Family Home Evening. Julia bought pizza for dinner, Andrea and Mandy bought refreshments, Lisa taught a lesson on the vision of the tree of life. We need to hold to the rod… or to the jute (that’s what she had tied across the entrance way). I was in charge of an activity, […]
As much as I love the banner that Jason created for Dad’s birthday, I feel that the writing would be better suited in the middle or left side so as not to block my face. I haven’t been that cute for quite awhile and would hate to see my early years forgotten. Sorry it’s taken […]
