I've Just Remembered I Have a Blog...

Time has been slipping away and 5 years later I realized that I have a blog.  Of course, many excuses come up as to why I have not kept up with it such as the desire to sleep, but I was looking back at it today and had to acknowledge it's worth.  I have been taking the easy way out.  Yes, I have been posting pictures occasionally on Facebook.  It was quick and it made me feel like I was documenting our family life.  There were no in-depth posts or any actual writing about our experiences.  So, I am repenting and going to "catch-up" on my blog/journal.  Over the next while I will be adding in posts for the missing events on the blog.

Christmas Dinner 2015

Jerry jr. always has great ideas for unusual meals and this year he decided to make Cubano Sandwiches.  He researched recipes for roasted pork and made delicious sandwiches for us for Christmas dinner.  It was so good that people are still making more sandwiches this week.

Off to Church

One of the few pictures with me in it.  We are at our church building in Leona Valley.  Having all six kids look at the camera at the same time doesn't happen very often and it didn't happen here either.

Playing Around in Homer, Alaska

Jerry was intent on finding rock to polish.

Charlotte thought this huge seaweed was so cool. I'm actually surprised she picked it up since it was kind of gelatanous, but she used it to chase the other kids with.

Jerry jr. skipping rocks. The kids loved being 'allowed' to throw rocks.

Everone got to touch the ocean in the Gulf of Alaska. It was pretty cold, but the color was amazing, so blue and clear.

Welcome, Baby Ashley

Ashley Quinten James Harris was born while we were on our girl's week trip. He is so sweet. Congratulations, Tiffany, Jerome, and Peyton.

Girl's Week Out

My sister, Heather, and I spent a kid free week in Las Vegas. Here are our 'glamour' shots.
Heather on her horse Goliath. We really enjoyed our ride (it was my first), but I was sore for three days afterward.

The fountain in the lobby of the Palazzo, probably the most beautiful of the hotels we saw.

Scout Camp Three Years Running

Levi and Jerry III had a great time at camp this year. I was one of the den leaders for Levi's den so I missed out on pictures of Jerry in action. They both earned shooting award for BB guns and archery.
