Family Fun Night 2012

Our school has a "Family Fun Night " put on by the teachers and students every spring. The theme this year was the progression  of the USA starting from the Pilgrims coming to the new colony to our modern era that we live in! We ended with McDonalds type food which was a lot of work, but it turned out good!
We had grilled hamburgers, and chicken and good old fries and chicken  nuggets and ended with homemade  ice cream topped with yummy hot fudge! drool...
The brains that go into a project like this always amazes me!

The General Store

Samantha and Kendra cooking over the "fire" in the mining town
Rebecca "plowing " her field

The "Mayflower", guided by Captain Dominic
A miniature "Mayflower", the captains had a lot of fun guiding this ship! It even had a lower level !
The indians in first grade, pioneer girls in the background...
The pilgrim and the indian at the "First Thanksgiving"
The high school's project , a really cool "space shuttle"that you could ride in and go flying thru space thanks to a flight simulator. The guys got to rock it back and forth, it was nice and bouncy thanks to it sitting on some basketballs on each corner!
Emily and her friend Jennifer were Civil War nurses, they were busy in the tents with the "wounded soldiers".
The entrance of the mine where the miners inside were panning for gold in the dark and cold..Kaitlyn sat on a platform above the people as they toured and spritzed water down on them, a highlight of her evening..They felt the water but couldn't see her 'cause it was too dark!

    My girls and I have really enjoyed these pictures. We home school and get into these type of activities as much as we can. We would have loved to be there and to participate too.  It’s things like this that they never forget and that make learning so much fun. It is amazing too how much they learn through it all.

I’m Back!

 I’ve been thinking the last few weeks of this poor forsaken blog, so I looked up the other day and it was actually 2012 that I quit. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and our family has grown and there’s been lots of changes and a wedding and a daughter-in-law and grandbaby coming and now we’re having another wedding In a few weeks! Wow , you never know what will happen in six more years! I thought about trying to catch up over our lives the last few years, but most of you already know What all we’ve been up to so I’m not gonna try! I’m just going to start where we are now! This is going to be a year to remember for sure! 2018, Who would’ve thought, that we would be facing cancer, looking forward to being grandparents, having a 19-year-old daughter getting married, another daughter dating!  It’s almost mind-boggling, but I am reminded  that when I started this blog and I was a busy younger mother with six little kids, that I literally took one day at a time and

The pros of owning a bulk food store!

  ...trying out a Himalayan Pink Salt block from a customer! "would I carry this, please"? (Do I crush it or just pass it around the table?) :) .....i take all the produce home that get bumped and briused. Onions get chopped and frozen, which I love having on hand ,just don't like too many at a time! ....grabbing baking stuff off the shelves,including many items I normally wouldn't get, like mini m&m bits! Funny tho', my spices containers are emptier than ever, I forget to pick them up 'cause I don't have a grocery list anymore! ....farm fresh eggs from local farmers! ....i get to test out the latest kitchen gadgets,including the broken stuff! ....meat and cheese ends from the deli, they make wonderful snacks when having  friends over!

Kitchen Remodel...

This was the beginning of a terrible messy job of remodeling our kitchen. Norv and John Schlabach did the work of ripping off the ceiling and putting a new one on, insulating the new part (Samantha did that, crawling around up there) and then installing new cabinets. But before that could be done , they had to move the window, put drywall mud on the walls to cover up and blend together all the different wall coverings, rip out old cupboards, move the water lines for the dishwasher and new sink.... and this was all done in 5 days! This was open to the outside for a few days, so we stayed at Norv's folks while this was being done... see the original trailer roof shape? Here is the finished product! I got my curtains hung and the only thing missing is the microwave hood that may never be! I'd like to actually put a shelf in it's place. Looking toward the living room from the island...I love my shelf that just happened to appear after the ceiling got ripped off, the end
