We have had such a mild winter. It is not what we need. We needed tons of rain and snow to build up the snowpack in the mountains. Our fields are watered with wells but the farm in Fallon is irrigated from the Truckee River. They might not get any of their water this coming […]
A Valentine’s Day Surprise
Yesterday was a very fun day! The kids woke up to the table all decorated with balloons and candy. They read all the Valentine’s they made for each other and then came the best part. I put little surprises in each balloon so they got to pop them! Gideon liked the balloons popping but at the […]
DNA, Ancestry, and Who You Are
Genetics is fascinating. What makes you who you are, at least genetically? Does it matter? Does having a specific set of DNA give you a certain identity? In the October 2013 National Geographic there was an article called the Changing Face of America that explored how multiracial the population of America is becoming. My family […]
HOME
This past month or so I have realized I need to focus more on my family and home. Even as we face new adventures with the older ones leaving the nest for college or getting married it’s time to reassess and refocus. There will be a lot of organizing this year as a result of […]
We’re moving into a new kitchen!
It’s a new year and I’ve been contemplating and thinking about changes I need to make in all areas of my life. And a post about that will come soon, I hope. But we have a BIG major change going on at our house right now that is taking up a lot of time and […]
Christmas Day
Christmas Eve the kids dressed up and acted out the Nativity while Mr. Ferrero Rocher read from Luke 2. We watched a movie and then sent them all to bed. Christmas morning everyone came out at 7am (per tradition) and looked at the goods in their stockings. Then we recited The Living Christ before opening […]
Making Gingerbread Houses
We had a wonderful Christmas! The two oldest are back for a couple of weeks break between semesters. If you haven’t noticed I’ve stayed away from the blog to enjoy more time with the family. Today I’m documenting our annual gingerbread house making party. We look forward to it every year! If you click on […]
To infinity and beyond!
Twenty years has gone by way too fast with this wonderful man! Mr. Ferrero Rocher is kind, caring, funny, sweet, self-disciplined, and believe it or not, shy. I am so grateful to be married to such a faithful family man and one devoted to the Lord. He is definitely the love of my life! Here’s […]
Snapshots of Life
My daughter is driving us home from Reno right now trying to get some night hours on her driving log before getting her license at the end of the month. To occupy myself while she drives I decided to look at photos on my phone. Here are a few of my favorites from this past […]
A Wadsworth Thanksgiving
I was doubly blessed this year to not only have my birthday fall on Thanksgiving but also have so much family gathered together. ALL of the Wadsworths, except for two, were here as well as my parents. It is quite a crowd. My dad was kind enough to take a giant Wadsworth family photo for […]
Wreckage and Ruin
Wreckage and Ruin – those are the newest nicknames for the two youngest boys. Which one is which depends on the day. Things that survived all previous eight children without nary a scratch are now being systematically destroyed. I like that they are good buddies and all but please, oh, please why do they feed […]
Life on the Flying W Farm
Long time readers know of my love for the talented Young family and the varied ways they inspire others through painting, photography, and literary publications. Prints of some of Elspeth’s Women in the Bible paintings grace my daughters’ walls. I have subscribed to The Storybook Home Journal for several years and utilize it in my homeschool. […]

Working Together As A Family
There’s a joke we like to tell in our family about my nephew. When he was about 5 years old his mom asked him to do some chore and, of course, he complained. Someone asked him if there was anything he disliked more than doing chores. My nephew answered, “Yes . . .jobs!” Jobs were […]
More Photos and a Digital Arts Fairyland
For the county fair I also entered this black and white photo of Cookie playing her guitar. It won a superior ribbon (the best you can do). A also really love these two photos of Cookie. She loves taking guitar lessons and practicing! Her older cousins asked to play for them and they were impressed. I […]
