We returned from a FABULOUS Dyer family reunion, more on that later =). But can I just say, I absolutely love vacations, especially when it includes AMAZING family! {Oh, and no I was not bored on vacation or staying up late posting on my blog =). I am behind and am still trying to catch […]
I don’t know
At “Ma and Pa Trek Training” we practiced cooking with a Dutch oven and made dough sticks. We came home anxious to share and practice our new found skills with the kids. We had a delicious meal of chili, dough sticks, and peach cobbler. It was a good thing we practiced the peach cobbler, […]
On being a peacemaker
Today as I watched my children interact I had a sudden realization, “Being a peacemaker is not a passive behavior. It requires action and work.” There was a great need to discuss the word peacemaker with the kids =D. We sat down for a morning devotional. We read Matthew 5:9 I asked them, “What is […]
Dyer Reunion
July 20th through July 25th Shirl orchestrated an incredible Dyer Reunion for over 100 people. Holy camoly!!!! I would not even want to begin that feat. She is outstanding! Thursday Wes, Mark, Cameron and a few other’s climbed Mt. Blanca. I seriously considered going, but once I heard their report of altitude sickness, heat, and […]
On a Rope
Climbing dates are by far my favorite. If I had a guess, they would be one of Wes’s too . Way back at the beginning of June we went on a date to Marymoore and climbed the walls with a few of our friends. We had tons of fun and good laughs. Later that month, […]

One girl, Two wheels

I saw the SUN!
{ah, the memories… LOL! I just found the lyrics, in all these years I thought she saw the sun. =D} Despite the gloomy weather forecast we decided to pack up and head for the hills =). Hey, at least we were out of the house. Our drive was cloudy and occasionally rainy. As we crossed […]
Lemonade
The weather has been less than summery. And I have been grouchy. really grouchy. so, grouchy that I have felt like a horrible rotten no good very bad teenager. A major attitude adjustment was essential, because in our home, unfortunately, the old sang hold’s true, “If Mama Ain’t Happy, Ain’t Nobody Happy.” I made plans. […]
