I can't believe I have not blogged in a year. That is NUTS!! I guess its time to decide it I keep this up here, or if this phase of my life, (keeping an online journal) is past.
Hmmmm, lots to think about.

It's been a while since I've been up here. I've been reading Amys blog and am always inspired to spend more time keeping this up to date. But there just never seems to be enough hours. But just in case I needed one more thing to do, I started another blog. It's about our homeschool journey. I've had lots of friends ask me questions about how we do it and thought that it would be fun to share it up here.
If you are interested in following that part of our life, it can be found at http://ourfamilyhomeschool.blogspot.com
On another front. We had a great vacation in Utah. Things didn't go quite as planned, (Do they ever?) and we had to purchase a new car, everyone got sick and the weather kept us a couple extra days. But it was great to spend time with family. The kids loved being with their cousins, and dearly miss them now that we are home. We must find a way to get together more often. I don't know what we will do when they all finish school and take their families back to Alaska.
Mom and Dad got their mission call while we were there and are headed to South Africa in June. CRAZY!!! It will be strange not to have them here with us the next 2 winters. But I am excited for them and they will love it.

My husband and kids have been great. They have REALLY stepped up and taken over many of my responsibilities. I have also been blessed to have great friends here who have been a huge help. One of my good friend came over twice daily, early morning and late at night to massage my back and help with the spasms. Her support and help has been priceless, and I can never repay her. Thank you!
The ward has brought in dinner, and Brady work has been sending home the left overs from training lunch to supplement our meals.
We are very lucky to have so much support and love from those around us.
I am frustrated by the number of things that have had to be put on hold. I do not do well when I am unable to accomplish the things on my list. I can't even sit at my desktop computer and work on vinyl orders. I am in charge of the blue and gold this friday, but have had to hand off all planning and preperation to my committee. I signed up for the gym last week and have not been able to go back. I have bif plans to reorganize my craft/dining room....paint the family room/theater.... plans for life that for now are put on hold. But we have plans for a MAJOR road trip in 2 weeks so I need to take it easy and get better.
Wish me luck.

My kids are HUGE computer people. Who can blame them? Brady and I live our lifes, both professionally and personally, on the computer. Between our 2 laptops, 2 desktops, iphone and blackberry, we live via the internet in our home.
We are also a TJed family. We are trying hard to control the information they come in contact with, allow them to explore and learn at their own pace and surround them with the classics. For me this doesn't just mean books, though that is a HUGE part of it. We have spent the last 6 months building up a library of classics. Some of our favorites include Legos, blocks, Megaformers, Chess, Yahtzee, and many others. We play SpinUSA, read the Little House series and the Boxcar Children, cook, clean house and play outside.
But one constant remains, the desire to get on the computer. Don't get me wrong, there are some GREAT educational sites out there. The problem has been many are "too boring" or it's too easy for them to get led off to a place that is not so educational. What starts as building a city quickly becomes chasing bad guys around that city and shooting them. (Yes, I have 2 boys)
So yesterday during a meeting with our ES (educational supervisor) she mentioned a site she uses with her kids. Brainpop.com. We quickly looked it up and signed up for a trial membership. I LOVE IT!!!! Our new house rule is if you are on the computer, you are either blogging or on BrainPop. They can learn anything they want. There are cartoon videos for EVERY topic imaginable. Katrina is into health and diet and spent an hour learning about oral hygiene. Tyler spent time studing Benjamin Franklin because he's been reading about him in 39 Clues and Carter, last I checked was watching a movie about "The Twilight Zone" of the ocean. Apparently it's a real thing. While showing them around the site this morning I even learned some things about JFK that I didn't know. Not only does it have videos but it has quizes, activities, experienments and games to go with each topic. And with each topic is a list of related topics.
I enjoy homeschooling the kids. Everyday brings new challenges, but it is exciting and VERY rewarding. I was afraid it would be a nightmare. That not having several hours away from them everyday would drive me nuts, VERY QUICKLY. But I was wrong. The more time we spend together, the more I learn about them and TJed, the better we all get along and enjoy eachothers company.
