Time moves so slowly (when everyone is sick for instance) and yet so quickly I scarce have time to catch my breath and another year is gone. And look how everyone has grown! Junior Mint showing off his first tooth! Taking a break from pictures Ganache will only smile for the camera if someone burps. […]
Thanksgiving Day Fun
Thanksgiving was spent with Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s side of the family. We had a total of 56 there and that’s with two siblings and their families missing! Mr. FR’s sister brought this donkey head which people had fun with.Junior Mint was being cute while his Uncle B was holding him so I had to get […]
Haying is Done!
The weather cleared up enough that the teens (and two 12 year olds) were able to finish raking the rest of the hay and the men were able to bale it shortly after that. They are currently hauling the last five pivots of hay bales as I type this. Hooray! My sister-in-law took these pictures […]
She’s gone
Bon Bon is now officially a college student! We miss having her around, hearing her play the piano, eating her fabulous meals but growing up is a part of life. She’s having a great time, has adjusted well with a bit of homesickness but not nearly as bad as we thought she would have so […]
Silly me
The organist for our church was gone fighting fires in Oregon yesterday so I substituted at the last minute. I was particularly pleased during the intermediate hymn as I played the prelude thinking, “I am doing pretty good for not having played this hymn for a while.” Two measures into the hymn I realized I […]

La Familia July 2013
Monday evening we headed out to Water Canyon to update our family photo. It was windy and we could see storm clouds in the distance. It was those storm clouds that brought lightning that sparked the wildfire. Regardless of the weather we actually got a few good photos! Hurray for cooperative children, a tripod and […]
Being Goofy
It seems that I am not cut out for the sophisticated somber life. Unless it is a really important setting, like in the temple or a spiritual church meeting, I just can’t keep a straight face for long. It makes life fun! But some people take it the wrong way and assume I don’t take […]
Junior Mint’s Crooked Smile
I just love when babies start learning to smile back at you! Junior Mint enjoys cooing and smiling and has even made a few giggly noises lately. When he smiles the right side of his mouth goes up first which makes his smile just a tad crooked. We love it! Next Wednesday Junior Mint will […]
Sights of Summer
Summer. The word used to mean swimming at the neighbor’s pool, chasing fireflies, red Georgia mud squishing between my toes. Now I associate summer with swimming in the redneck pool, crazy farm work hours, and in the early summer stories of fawns and baby antelope being accidentally mown up. Ganache was telling the fawn hello. […]
Going Home
Friday morning I took pictures of the scenery as I came home from town. It had rained the day before so the desert plants were coming to life. It’s amazing how just a little rain makes a big difference out here in the desert. It may not look like much but to those of us […]

Junior Mint’s Blessing
Whew, we have had a busy, eventful April! Now that things have settled I have a bit of time to share some of our happenings. The most special event of the month was Junior Mint’s blessing on April 14th. For those that aren’t familiar with our LDS faith a baby blessing is similar to a […]
Introducing Our Newest Junior Mint
Jason Peterborn March 19, 2013 at 11:02am7 lbs 8 oz, 19 inches long At first mention of Jason’s name some people have said it doesn’t seem to fit the rest of our children’s names as they are all scriptural. Surprise! Jason is a biblical name. Jason was a Thessalonican who gave refuge to Paul, Silas, […]
Six for Saturday
because I’m late for Heather’s Five for Friday. ☺ 1. Watch this new Mormon Messages video. I think it is one of the best ones yet! It really hits close to home in many respects thinking about growing up and all my father did {and still does!] for us. And now all the work my […]
