Thank Goodness for the Guffey's

I've been patiently waiting for 3 years for this back yard fence.  Thank goodness for the Coltdon Guffey.  It is finally getting done...just the way Dave likes it.  (Him watching and Coltdon working!)

Look At Our Front Porch

 How many people look out their front door (that's rather dirty) and see dogs, chickens and a lamb?  Probably only the Law's. 
 Here's Bubba our bummer lamb.  He is one heck of a friendly guy.  In fact he is so friendly that Blaine has had to bring him home, the Carter's have had to bring him home and the Wellbourne's just barely brought him home...after they said they had "taken him into their house and fed him their baby's bottle of milk!"  I guess we are going to have to start putting him in the field.  We'll still let him sleep in the garage at night though.

Bo and Roo's Easter Egg Hunt

 You would not think that Easter Egg hunts would be quite as exciting as they are when the kids are little.  Well the trick is to hide MONEY in the eggs.  Those kids search all over the house for them and they are still searching!
 Bo got his own Wiffle Ball set.  This will bring back all of the good memories of playing it with the Whitings.


Is It Really That Hard?

I am still stunned at my family's inability to put the toilet paper roll on the roller.  I have replace our rollers with the easiest ones possible so that all they have to do is slide the old one off and put the new one on.  Do you think they do it?  NOOOO!  For some reason, they think that setting the new roll clear on the other side of the sink is much more convenient.  I give up.

2015 Early Childhood Presentations


 Betsy and I presented together at the 2015 Early Childhood Conference.  She was sweet enough to jump in when my other co-presenter couldn't make it.  I was so thankful for all of Betsy's wisdom and help.  She turned my IDEA into a REALITY and together we were able to "hit it out of the ballpark," on a topic that was really quite challenging.  I have never had people telling me that they "love me" and "where have I been all their life!"  The director of Weber State University even came up afterwards and asked if she could use the materials we had shared.  She said, "I have been trying to do this for years without success.  I know how much time you have put in to this.  You have taken a very hard subject and made it make perfect sense."

 Here are our attendees hard at work writing down everything they know.
The best part of the weekend was that we got to spend Friday and Saturday together.  Sharing a king size bed and some really late night laughs was good therapy for both of us.
