The little girl turned 10 yesterday. Every year we take the kids out of school on their birthday and go to lunch. With a big family of eight, one-on-one time is a scarcity. It’s such a great tradition! This year it was Ellie’s turn for a friend party so she also celebrated with many of …

Happy 7th Birthday Ellie!
This year Ellie’s 7th birthday happened to fall on Thanksgiving. We had plans to spend Thanksgiving at my dad’s home in St. George.

Jacob, Megan, and Katelyn had a church “mini-mission” activity that would keep them busy (and supervised) all Friday night and most of the day on Saturday. I was home with just Claire, Drew, and Ellie. So, instead of sitting around and playing on iPods …
