Mom's Field Trip/Mr. Mom

Today I spent an entire day away from home. I honestly can remember only one other time that I have left Corbin for an entire day in the two years since he's been born, so today was very unusual and really fun. I went to our church's cannery and helped can pears to give to our community's food bank. I'd never done that before, and I really enjoyed it. The day was made more fun by having good friends around to talk with. After getting back to Sterling I went grocery shopping, and being alone for that was nice, too. I "browsed" rather than "ran". Then I stopped by the home of a family who is moving into our ward (church congregation) and helped them unload a few things before heading home just in time to get kids to bed. My day was a nice change of pace. Jared's day was a little hectic. He had planned to be here all day, but had to go to a meeting for a couple of hours. Taylor had a 7:30 am piano lesson, and just before she left, the plumbers called to see about working on our bathroom. Jared and the other kids quickly readied the basement, then went to school. Jared went to his meeting, the plumbers came, and Jared and the kids came home. Apparently it was pretty crazy, because Mckenna and Jared both forgot her piano lesson this afternoon! Didn't I pick a good day to be gone? And wasn't it great of Jared to pick up the slack so I could go?

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

Image
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...
