2020-2021

 Well, it’s that time of year again... First day of school! It’s so weird to have the house so quiet since the kids have been home 24/7 since March!

Yes, it is different this year.

  1. They have to wear masks
  2. Some activities are different, or can’t be done.
  3. Our elementary closed and Zain, Lydia, and Tyler have to go to a new school.
  4. Brichette is driving her and Xander to school.
But we are brave and strong! As long as we have each other, have Heavenly Father helping us, and we do our best, we can do hard things!

These kids are so smart. They have such caring hearts and worry about each other. They are amazing and I am so blessed and honored to be their mom! I can’t wait to see the amazing wonderful things they do!

Brichette is a senior this year! I can’t believe she’s graduating and will be an adult in January!



Xander is a sophomore. He gets to drive this school year!



Zain is in 5th grade. In January he gets the priesthood.



Lydia is in 2nd grade. She gets to be baptized and is so excited she can hardly wait.



Tyler is in kindergarten. He’s so excited to finally be in school like his brothers and sisters and he’s already lost 2 teeth!



I sure love these kids!

Here is our Pink Chicken Coop that we did ourselves. We built it in 2019. Nick built it and the kids and I painted it. He came up with the plans, after showing him some I liked, and built it. Then Brichette painted the Sunflower 🌻 and bee 🐝 on it for me. It wasn’t very hard to build and didn’t cost much. I love it so much!  We added party lights and pink lights for the night. 🤩

Popcorn

Today is National Popcorn Day (along with National Tin Can Day and Get to Know Your Customer’s Day). We love popcorn! 🍿 We eat it all the time.  We like to make our own, but also like the white cheddar Smatfood popcorn, kettle corn, caramel popcorn, from the movie theater, and even some gas stations. Today I made caramel popcorn. I got the recipe from Nick’s mom. You can find the recipe  Here Xander got this popcorn maker as a white elephant gift. This is the white cheddar popcorn we like. Did you know… Popcorn is over 5,000 years old. World War II’s sugar shortage led to Americans to eat 3x more popcorn. It’s gluten free Nebraska produces more popcorn than any other state. Unpopped kernels are called Old Maids Americans eat 17 Billion quarts every year. It’s the state snack of Illinois. What are your favorite flavors of popcorn?

Rain Chain

  We bought this watering can rain chain last year at Western Gardens, but I couldn't decide where to put it.  Well, I finally decided on putting it in the front yard. I really like it here.  I get to see it everyday and I can enjoy it through all the seasons. I like having stuff that isn't common... That no one else has.  This rain chain is unique to me.
