Corbin's New Word

If you see us often, you know that Corbin never wears his hair this way, unless his sisters do it for him. But this picture correlates with Corbin's new "style". It's his "I'm two and I'll do what I want to do" style, and his message is driven home several times every day when he lets out a high-pitched scream (his new favorite expression). This means "You're annoying me!" or "Your hand is where I want mine to be!" or "Can't you see I had it under control?!" or "I'll do it MYSELF!" And several times a day I speak these words to myself: "This too shall pass." Then I look into his eyes (if he'll let me) and remind myself who he REALLY belongs to...and all is right again...until the next expression tumbles forth.

Caleb -Trek and Babe Ruth Perfect Game, June 2014 (Caleb's journal)

This week I attended trek in Wyoming and had a great experience. I was able to meet a few new friends while experiencing a little bit of what the pioneers endured on their journey. I wasn't bothered by the walking, which made the rest of the experience easy to enjoy. I had a cool family, with the keys being the  parents (the Mackeys).  This is me with Kaylea, a girl from my family. Last night   was probably the best night of my life. I had the privilege to live my life's dream, ever since I was eight years old: pitching a perfect game. We were playing in my Babe Ruth championship baseball game, the last one that I would be young enough to compete in .   It was Haxtun versus SedgeCo. I started off the game with a 3-0 count on a batter, and I was thinking that I had better make some adjustments if we were going to win.   Fortunately I proceeded to come back to strike out the next two batters. After 3 innings, I realized that not a single batter h...

Christmas 2016 thru Summer 2017

With my parents when they visited in 2017. A picture of me on a ride.  I haven't blogged for a very long time, so here's a recap of the last 22 months. December 2016: We went to Washington for Christmas. The kids weren't all sure they wanted to walk away from their lives for nine days, but everyone ended up having a great time. At the time, Caleb was a senior and was dating Allie, and it had been a difficult 6-9 months with him as we tried to navigate through that situation. Taylor had been to BYU- Idaho for an entire year, but had transferred to Ft. Collins and was midway through her first year at Front Range Community College. So we had some different dynamics at play than we had previously. We arrived on Christmas Eve afternoon and stayed about a week. Everyone was begging to stay longer. Caleb was cousin Caiden's buddy, Taylor and Kenna slept the vacation away, Isaac had fun playing with this new drone, and Corbin enjoyed pla...
