Diana’s elementary school is going to have a Chinese Immersion Program next year for select 1st graders. What? An elementary school in Utah with a Chinese language immersion program for 1st graders? Pretty amazing if you ask me. I agree that it’s important to speak a 2nd language and you can’t [...]

Some more Art from Anne
Anne just finished this beautiful piece of artwork. She is also going to write a story to go with the picture. I think she is very good artist and her best work medium is pencil.
Holiday Lights
I finished up the semester in early December. What better way to enjoy the elation of starting winter break than to take your family on the annual trip downtown to view the Christmas lights on Temple Square?
Of course, we have to ride the train – even though it’s much more cost-effective to drive [...]
Anne’s art for our Christmas Letter
This year I asked Anne to draw me a picture I could put on our Family Christmas letter. She asked me, “what should I draw mom?” and I told her to come up with something that made you think of the Christmas season. This is what she came up with.

First day of School
I took these pictures a long time ago but am barely writing about them. This year my youngest started kindergarten. She has been excitedly looking forward to the day when she could get on the school bus with her older siblings and finally the day was here. Usually on the first day [...]
More canning news
I got a call from my aunt Kathy on Monday inviting me to go with her and her daughter to Brigham City to go get some peaches for canning. Unlucky for me is that all my kids are in school and there is no good time for me to go except for weekends. [...]
Anne’s Birthday
After my kids turn twelve then they do not get anymore friend birthday parties. When you have five kids it just gets too expensive. This year Anne turned twelve and had her last friend party. This year she wanted to have a swim party. It almost didn’t happen because the weather [...]
