Back to School Memory

By -

My favorite subject in school was English/Literature. I remember my Elementary School teachers reading to me. "The Boxcar Children" and "A Wrinkle in Time" were favorites. I loved how these books would carry me away to a whole different place in my imagination. Later in High School, I loved learning about some of the great writers of our time. I also love to write-but mostly about life, ideas and people who inspire me. I have volumes of journals I have kept since my very first little diary complete with lock and key given to me when I was 8. If I live to be a hundred years old I still won't have lived long enough to read all that I'd like to. What was your favorite subject in school?

She couldn't resist sharing him with her best friend Jaden and his little brother Teagan.

It has been a really long time since we've had our family pictures taken (7 years to be exact). So with Caleb about to leave for the mission field we decided these pictures were a must.

Fashionable Fan

Hot off the runways of Paris, it's the most stylish trend to wear to your sons football games (or any outdoor sport of your choice). My Dad thought this would be a great idea when I mentioned to him how cold I get when I watch the games. After seeking many thrift shops far and wide he finally showed up with this little beauty which came in an extra-large and was complete with it's own official patch (which means I'm apparently now part of the Scorpion's snowmobile gang). I must admit I felt a little like a grown up version of the kid whose Mom dresses him all up for winter in "A Christmas Story". Wearing this, you may be your kids number one fan, but they'll pretend not to know the crazy lady in the snowsuit hooping and hollering from the sidelines.
