He is my dirt bike loving, snowboarding, camping, entrepreneur son. During the spring, summer and fall he takes his dirt bike out most weekends. If he's home then he's off camping with friends. During the winter he's often is Brian Head snowboarding. He loves being outdoors! He has had a very "light" school schedule this year. He often only has 1-2 classes each day. He's loving life racking in the dough selling motor bikes. He has taken over my facebook marketplace account and is always on the search for a new bike. Over the past 6 months he has bought and sold over 20 bikes. He buys them, gives them some small mechanical upkeep, shines them up and puts new stickers on them. He may spend $20-$200 on each bike but then lists them for over $500 more than what he bought AND has into them. He keeps the bikes for as little as 48 hours so he has a chance to ride it a few times but usually is gone in just 2-3 days. He made $800 recently on a bike he bought and sold in 48 hours. He's got quite the eye to find these dirtbikes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjNXCtibF2uG0Nb5o1WhDZCWoEh0DvAQCaWBZAxXfbUmWlfWfO4OV_t3iizuCX8NoHSs65H1ZbPccwBNC_o_kkWOTvf-yw4S-LHJH5DBXaJFxS0-AZ0YHfcJBM5CZ6niqZIF-v_vGAJ-FkVPwCEgxGJW-EFGpDLva6EL84s1bbLJfq2IdjxJA=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We only have one other young man in our ward who is in his grade, everyone else is a year behind. Since the majority of Hunter's friends are Juniors this year, choosing to serve a mission now wasn't an easy decision for him to make. He has gone back and forth from serving now or waiting a year and leaving when all of his friends are leaving. We are also still in the midst of Covid-19. He has cousins and see's older siblings of friends who are currently serving. Their missions are not the norm. They are all being confined to their apartments with no procelyting, no going to church in person, and reaching out soley throught social media specifically Facebook, something Hunter doens't have nor has a desire to create. Even our own ward is still having Sunday services through Zoom. I don't blame him at all for considering waiting a year. I honestly don't know if I would submit my own papers knowing the world is still shut down. For several weeks now Hunter said he was going to wait a year before submitting his papers. We were 100% supportive. Then one day he came to me and said he changed his mind. He felt he needed to go now. And so he made an appt with our Bishop, Bishop Fawcett. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It took a few weeks getting all his doctors/dentist appts and all the paperwork together but at the same time it felt very fast. Then one Sunday after meeting with the Stake President, President Broadbent, the papers were sent to Salt Lake. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Two and a half weeks later on a Tuesday morning Hunter got the email...... he had his mission call. Tuesdays are CRAZY around our house anyways but this Tuesday was even more intense. All 4 kids including Kory had mutual at different times that night starting at 4pm. Kory's group was doing some night skeet shooting and so wasn't starting till 8 but the girls wouldn't be back until 8:30. Hunter wanted a "few" close friends to be present and so chose to open it the next day, Wednesday March 31st at 7 pm. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh my goodness! My emotions were all over the place. I kept busy at finishing the final touches for his world map for people to guess. We cleaned house and I made about 8 dozen cookies after Maddie posted the big news on Instragram and more and more people said they would be coming for the big reveal. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiRyctmyyP3cL9CycVSPM2piNxjZlHBmFLXzmD0DRQzi_cbjPB9gAQrytRJ4icC6yafQMSxoee6VG8LQzSW07NLiUF6JXYaQyhhN0o9jwJfninGSdoxKheMp_jx125vAitpDXqyI5WESC3UmScW_2LgP8PBRflHWQqd2pl4d6r5zyj6MZH0WQ=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiRyctmyyP3cL9CycVSPM2piNxjZlHBmFLXzmD0DRQzi_cbjPB9gAQrytRJ4icC6yafQMSxoee6VG8LQzSW07NLiUF6JXYaQyhhN0o9jwJfninGSdoxKheMp_jx125vAitpDXqyI5WESC3UmScW_2LgP8PBRflHWQqd2pl4d6r5zyj6MZH0WQ=w225-h400" width="225" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiog-e3Ztw87CzVTvmr5Qjj40_0mvfAuw1yIg8G8Nkz1j-0AeMM-zi-0iOf087bebFpSPmj619KHVifF0iUFOtYK0x08c0oHpEg4txGURQMvcB_QPMHLUbI0XL7Dgc80RA61GAxvDOhh6bdQ1TEFXC0a1DOdsCtpTjGSWVK0A1I8Igp4hdY2A=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiog-e3Ztw87CzVTvmr5Qjj40_0mvfAuw1yIg8G8Nkz1j-0AeMM-zi-0iOf087bebFpSPmj619KHVifF0iUFOtYK0x08c0oHpEg4txGURQMvcB_QPMHLUbI0XL7Dgc80RA61GAxvDOhh6bdQ1TEFXC0a1DOdsCtpTjGSWVK0A1I8Igp4hdY2A=w225-h400" width="225" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The amount of kids that came to our house blew my mind! We had kids in the kitchen, in the family room, upstairs, down the hallway and in the entryway. I only snagged a few pictures......I was little busy and trying to keep my emotions from getting the best of me witnessing the amazing support we were being given.

My younger kids snuggled up with me and together we laughed, and laughed, and laughed. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuHvZcBO6s3B21BweUHhcB4BTYlYo5EsFlBVZgv3jK-C5LwPLZ-AZRJY1Vmpr9YIAnqF6YgKWKDsruiGax6MLgKPziJ7O7CzN4z_aNF_b125EdyTEsiuDwbax0kWUHD8gderjx/s2048/2020-12-03+20.26.02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuHvZcBO6s3B21BweUHhcB4BTYlYo5EsFlBVZgv3jK-C5LwPLZ-AZRJY1Vmpr9YIAnqF6YgKWKDsruiGax6MLgKPziJ7O7CzN4z_aNF_b125EdyTEsiuDwbax0kWUHD8gderjx/w400-h225/2020-12-03+20.26.02.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Emily helped me wrap all of Christmas Books. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUGbUcngQ8w5ZRJl5I_cjbFCdTRzXtXMF3KBRmb4wMxLojOos3N97p9Zos4VIedKe7hiJUxPzuO0oIJXRHeQloHVqsYVKgyG3tTbyM6IpNndQSEA7oTvM2DzsQTTpZNES-znJ6/s2048/2020-12-02+12.11.45.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUGbUcngQ8w5ZRJl5I_cjbFCdTRzXtXMF3KBRmb4wMxLojOos3N97p9Zos4VIedKe7hiJUxPzuO0oIJXRHeQloHVqsYVKgyG3tTbyM6IpNndQSEA7oTvM2DzsQTTpZNES-znJ6/w225-h400/2020-12-02+12.11.45.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My parents gave us these rocking reindeer's when Hunter and Maddie were toddlers.

Our original plan was to take the kids to Mesa Verde in Colorado. We just finished our Native American lessons during Home School and I thought this would be fun. But thanks to Covid the National Park has opened the over looks only. So no hiking, no exploring the cliff dwellings. Bummer!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next we thought we would go to Panaca, NV and collect pine nuts. Due to the lack of rain this year the pine nuts are pretty scarce. It didn't help that I couldn't find a VRBO or 2 hotel rooms for our family. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had finally decided that we would do a stay cation and just go somewhere different each day. Then Kory remembered his Uncle Ronny offering his cabin to us in Alton that Kory had built the cabinets for. So Kory called to see if it was available for the weekend. It was! Yay!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So Wednesday night we made the decision to leave Friday morning. We drove to Alton where we unloaded our bags, stocked the fridge and then hit the road again.

Our Covid numbers have spiked and seem to be out of control. I wasn't terribly worried about coming into contact with a lot of people but it was on my mind. We hardly saw anyone else. There was one family quite a bit in front of us and another family behind us. When we came to a fork in the road we went left, they went right. We never saw anyone else again.

He helped us this day and I'm thankful that I could recognize that. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Leaving Losee Canyon we had one more stop to make, Willis Canyon. Some friends of ours who use to live in the area told us it was a "must see". Leaving Losee Canyon I put Willis Canyon in google maps and we began following it's directions. After conversations with friends I thought the turn off was after Cannonville and maybe even Henrieville. We are in the middle of Cannonville and I see our GPS is telling us to turn up ahead to go to a park. Immediately my maps then tells me we have lost service and it stops working. Do we turn? My destination wasn't a park, it was Willis Canyon. Thinking I must have touched or done something we decide to continue on down the hwy. 15 miles later, we have passed Henrieville it is obvious we are not where we are suppose to be. Out of no where we get reception so Kory pulls over and I call our friends because GPS still won't work. She tells me the turn off is in Cannonville not afterwards. Oops! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So we turn around and go back. Once we make the turn off the main road my GPS starts working again. Weird! We eventually make it to a dirt road. We knew it was a dirt road but was told it's pretty easy on a car. A mile or two in we get flagged down by a park ranger. He lets us know the road is pretty bad, worse than what we just came through, and we wouldn't make it in our car without ripping the bumper off. He suggests we turn around or park when we get to the 2nd cluster of cars and walk 1.5 miles in. Thinking the road we were on wasn't bad at all like the ranger was portraying it was we decide to keep going. We soon pass the 1st cluster of cars. Yep, the road was definitely worse, lots of ruts and gouges in the road. Going carefully and slowly we make it through with Hunter following us in his even lower to the ground car. We had no issues, just took it easy. We continue on until we come upon the 2nd cluster of parked cars. It's bad! We can see it from the car. We pull over and Kory gets out to examine the road. He's hoping to see a path we can take around/through the ruts. These ruts run from one side of the road to the opposite side. And they were deep, like 12-24 inches deep. You can see where tires have spun out. There's random pieces of cars that have been pulled to the side of the road. These ruts aren't in just one spot it was one right after the other. Kory's walking back to the car to tell us he's not seeing a way around (we really don't want a 1.5 mile hike in) when a truck comes around the bend coming towards us. All of a sudden they stop and yell out Kory's name. It was a cousin, Tracy Johnson and her husband Moyle, who live in Tropic. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tracy and Moyle had been working on their family cemetery where their adult daughter, April was buried a few weeks ago (died from cancer). They were headed into town to pick up family members to help, knowing they wouldn't be able to make it out in their cars. They were so nice and kind! We hopped in their truck, they turned around and took us the last two miles to the trail head. Then they said they'd be back in 2-2.5 hours to pick us up and take us back to our cars. The little miracles we were given that day. We were are all a little grumpy. It was early afternoon, we hadn't had lunch, we had gotten lost, the 30min drive had now been over an hour, the "easy" road was not easy and we felt we weren't getting anywhere. Some of us were ready to turn around and go back to the cabin. But some of us didn't want to go back, we kept trying. If the GPS hadn't stopped working, if we hadn't gotten "lost", if the road hadn't been as bad as it was we would have missed Kory's cousin. Because all these little things happened we were at the right place at the right time. They wouldn't have recognized Kory driving in our car. They recognized Kory because he was walking right next to the road. Heavenly Father knew we wouldn't have made it. He knew I desperately wanted to bring my kids here. He made it happen by all nuisance's taking place that day!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What a wonderful time we had! This was our favorite part of our trip. The canyon doesn't normally have water running through it this time of year. The water this day was the irrigation run off from Kory's cousins field. At the beginning we tried to keep our shoes dry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXuGm89jtjCjSdJY4uc3xJ6Twi2XUki2An8R6Sp-gRl19uJYiuVnJkqA6qzYBEAh-6S83W6V5HoUEM18851d1MniHaY2UoAhwjq7FsqMNe1qBWq75YL5dq2V18Vo9r1Bbqqz1R/s2048/IMG_3728.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXuGm89jtjCjSdJY4uc3xJ6Twi2XUki2An8R6Sp-gRl19uJYiuVnJkqA6qzYBEAh-6S83W6V5HoUEM18851d1MniHaY2UoAhwjq7FsqMNe1qBWq75YL5dq2V18Vo9r1Bbqqz1R/w266-h400/IMG_3728.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But then there were spots that you couldn't NOT walk or jump over it.

Two weeks ago Hunter came home from school on Friday and took a nap. Something he's never done. Friday night he said he wasn't feeling good, felt cold and went to bed early. Saturday he went to hang out with friends but came home much earlier than expected. He said he was just tired. Again he was cold and went to bed early. On Sunday Grandma Heaton was throwing a Sunday lunch in Losee Canyon, near Bryce Canyon. After he ate he went and sat in the van and fell asleep. He said he just didn't feel good. That night he complained to be cold again and went to bed early. I no longer have a thermometer but feeling his forehead he felt pretty warm. Monday morning he woke up feeling almost normal and went to school. During the day he realized he had lost his smell and taste. Did he tell anyone this? Of course not. And so Hunter continued to go to school. He no longer had a fever, he sniffled a little here and there but no real symptoms of being sick. Hunter said his lack of smell and taste lasted about a week. Loosing your smell/taste is a sign of having Covid-19. By the time he told me about this symptom it was too late to have him tested, not that I would have had him tested anyways. But I would have kept home and quarantined him to be safe. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Three weeks later......It's a Wednesday and the kids and I spend our afternoon outside pulling weeds, raking leaves and re planting my flowers that the wind literally blew up and out of the dirt. After being outside for an hour working we ALL start to sneeze, have watery eyes and feel itchy. It's how we typically feel working outside during "allergy season". That night we were all struggling a little bit but by Thursday morning we all felt better. I still had the sniffles and was tired but I hadn't slept the best because my nose was running the whole night. The kids symptoms were pretty much gone. Friday we participated in a park day with other home schooling families. While at the park my allergies and Brayden's started to flare up again. By the time we get home from the park I have a headache. By bed time my allergies are out of control but Brayden feels better. I feel overly tired, is it because I'm getting sick or the allergy pill I took? I go to bed feeling a little cold. During the night I wake up feeling absolutely awful! I am so, so cold, Kory says I'm burning up and my headache is awful. I struggle staying asleep during the night. By morning my head ache is barely there, I have still have a fever, I'm super cold and my whole body aches. It's conference weekend so I stay in our lazy boy chair with the intention of watching conference. I'm not sure I was even awake by the first speaker. I was out! I slept through the entire 1st session. Kory fixed lunched between sessions. I ate and went and took a nap thinking this would allow me to stay awake during the 2nd session Nope! I took my nap and then slept through the session in my lazy boy chair. After the session I was feeling better. Walked around the block with the family. My fever had broken and I was feeling better. Went to bed thinking all was well. About 2am I woke up super cold again a horrible headache and body aches. Sunday morning my headache was almost gone but I still had the other symptoms. I did the same dang thing I did the day before. Slept through almost all of Conference. It was during the 2nd session, near the end when my fever broke. I started feeling better almost immediately. Thankfully the headache, body aches and chills didn't come back. I slept peacefully that night. Monday I felt good but was just tired. Tuesday I still felt good but overly tired. Maddie and I decided to make cookies. After I put the 1st batch in the oven I sat at the table helping her with a project. We totally forgot about the cookies! By the time I remembered they were charcoal black. I couldn't believe I had forgotten about them. Why the heck did I not smell them burning? I was in the kitchen the whole time! And that is when I realized I couldn't smell them! That night before going to bed I put my nightly OnGuard on my chest. Guess what? I couldn't smell it. My smell remained lost for the following 5 days. My other symptoms never came back. Each day my energy was gaining and my tiredness weaning. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I refused to be tested. I do NOT want to add to the paranoia some are feeling about our pandemic. I don't know why it effects everyone so differently. I don't know why some have lost their lives from this. I don't know why no one else in our family "caught" it. Part of me feels relieved that we have now had this new strain of the flu and we can move on! I am grateful that Hunter and I have fully recovered with no long term side effects. </p>kory and tina familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04496841989119001032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35124895.post-35451069652860112382020-10-04T14:51:00.000-07:002020-11-08T17:26:41.331-08:00Homeschooling. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love Home Schooling. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I knew it was something that I was guided and inspired to do this year.

It's not part of any of our curriculum per say, just something I wanted them to learn. Here we are playing Scrambled States of America. It's helping us learn the name of the states and where they are in the U.S. It teaches us the capital of each state along with the nickname. It's one of our favorite games so far. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNpX1BwGPrHKCSQWreLzFxQgnASL1vh49XoWrw6JBBpblnVp2kDr0cbO_v2eZonYEE8ALrtqQ6mxn4r8cD8gm42smEVsrtSDqJ3pDqRvE6T_En-vBKga0fq5pS0EXvl0kYK1sm/s2048/2020-09-21+15.37.28.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNpX1BwGPrHKCSQWreLzFxQgnASL1vh49XoWrw6JBBpblnVp2kDr0cbO_v2eZonYEE8ALrtqQ6mxn4r8cD8gm42smEVsrtSDqJ3pDqRvE6T_En-vBKga0fq5pS0EXvl0kYK1sm/w400-h225/2020-09-21+15.37.28.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I found this Leap Frog USA at D.I for a whopping $3 it's helping us learn too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvSRNTSEiSSeKdIwfwJ3GXW3etDWQ0RG5eQ_7pyqTasv6iqkIHzOJUr99YC-KNLtL-tnxzqBXhR7uqiN1ntymoURAGmCbSrOFE9ZVhyJp-g8nqnKXHorxOWTUjlBLojZaC6Ik4/s2048/2020-10-29+21.02.50.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvSRNTSEiSSeKdIwfwJ3GXW3etDWQ0RG5eQ_7pyqTasv6iqkIHzOJUr99YC-KNLtL-tnxzqBXhR7uqiN1ntymoURAGmCbSrOFE9ZVhyJp-g8nqnKXHorxOWTUjlBLojZaC6Ik4/w225-h400/2020-10-29+21.02.50.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our first unit in science has been Human Anatomy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is our playdough brain.

Sometime they are still in their p.j's and sometimes they are dressed. The kids like doing math first. They all sit at the table with their math workbook in front of them. Emily is in Algebra, Brayden Pre-Algebra and Kylie in 3rd (times tables). They each do 2 pages, both sides. We get through one chapter almost every week, just like public school. Math generally takes us 20-40 minutes. Just depends if it's a new concept or reiterating what they learned during the lesson. They generally do math by themselves with Mom checking their answers when they are done. While they do math, Mom's making breakfast. By about 9:30 at the latest we are doing our Language Arts. Again each has their own notebook with lessons. I dictate spelling words and sentences to them out of their individual books. Their lessons can include writing several sentences about the book they are reading, using words such as witch/which in the right sentence. Lots of Grammar, correct sentence structure and writing essays. Our program also includes a little Geography. They have learned the names and where each ocean is. They are currently working on States and Capitals which totally helps me accomplish my goal. This typically lasts 45 min- 1hr. By 10:15 we either move on to Science or Social Studies. We do each two times a week. I try to be completely done by 11 when Kory gets home from work for lunch. After lunch we play! We play our "educational" games that most of the time they don't even realize that's what they are. We subscribed to Kiwi Crates this year. Once a month each child gets their own activity kit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was Kylies first crate.

When they have essays and other projects they are assigned this is the time they use to do those. I love the extra time I have with my kids. We go to the library once a week, the kids are in a group swim once a week and Emily is on a club swim that meets 4 times a week. We participate in a Common Wealth on Thursdays for a few hours that we have met more homeschool families. On Friday mornings several homeschool moms meet at a local park. The kids usually end up playing something like kickball, or flag football. The younger kids play on the equipment. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am really enjoying our school schedule this year and the kids seem to also. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /> </div>kory and tina familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04496841989119001032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35124895.post-89957517702315428362020-09-30T14:15:00.001-07:002020-11-08T14:33:10.984-08:00Home Coming 2020<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It has been so fun to watch my daughter get ready for her 1st dance.

A few weeks ago her and I went prom dress shopping. Although the decision making was driving me CRAZY it was a great feeling knowing whatever she chose it was going to be modest. Maddie's day date was hiking. They were then taken to Freddy's in St. George for lunch. They went to Fiesta Fun to bowl and play miniature golf. Unfortunately many others had the same thought. After spending 45 minutes in both lines they decided to call it day and get the girls home so they could get ready for the dance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9D7CYGmwtf3r5iD4t40zSuyn69ajS7N5ZMb9KarFceJzoLYAkLecrTZP7MZ6rfml9gPzWVxUC19hEyELw4IpkN_2NLj6JufnExJjCANs9z3lbSsmL-Mj-Eu3tMkhzUIn9Acv/s2048/IMG_3369a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1463" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9D7CYGmwtf3r5iD4t40zSuyn69ajS7N5ZMb9KarFceJzoLYAkLecrTZP7MZ6rfml9gPzWVxUC19hEyELw4IpkN_2NLj6JufnExJjCANs9z3lbSsmL-Mj-Eu3tMkhzUIn9Acv/w286-h400/IMG_3369a.jpg" width="286" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Hunter's date was with Miss Emily Dobson. Although Hunter doesn't prep quite as much as Maddie it's still fun to watch them get ready and to look their best. For Hunter's day date the boys picked the girls up at 8am to go hiking in Zion. I had 6 young men at my house at 7am making sandwiches and packing lunches for their day I'm thankful for the good kids we have been blessed with. And the good friends they have made over these past few years. </div><p></p>kory and tina familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04496841989119001032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35124895.post-47326834636523808672020-09-27T20:04:00.001-07:002020-10-29T20:14:04.481-07:00Junior Powder Puff<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Friday night before our Football homecoming game the Junior and Senior girls dress up in the boys old uniforms and play a little game.

Dad was suppose to come home for breakfast for her favorite, waffles.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But he ended up leaving earlier than expected to do an install. Hunter had to go to school a little early and Maddie was late getting home from her college class.

Something we have never done before. We participated in a rally/protest, call it what you will. And this is why......</p><p> <span style="text-align: center;">Our School district began last Thursday. Per David Blodgett (Director Southwest Utah Public Health Department) it was up to the individual of what kind of face shield/mask they wanted to wear. Face mask, bandana, face shield, etc. Although I think this whole Covid-19 thing has been hyped up for political reasons our political leaders and church leaders have asked us to wear a face covering when social distancing isn't possible. Even though we still have a 98% chance survival rate, we will obey and wear a face covering. Everyone had a really good first 2 days back to school. And then Friday late afternoon after everyone had gone home for the weekend our Governor announced face shields could be worn to school but masks themselves were mandated. Meaning you would still have to wear a mask under the shield. What's the point of wearing the shield then? Why is he doing this? The parents, the teachers, the principals were very upset. Our Governor has been saying for months that he wouldn't mandate masks and yet he just did for our kids. Our Governor last week AGAIN said face coverings would be left up to each school district and their local health department although it was his opinion it should be an actual mask. The Governor also said that when our numbers dropped to under 400 positive daily cases he would lift some of his mandates. This week we have been under 300 every single day. Has he lifted anything? Nope just more restrictions. 2 months ago our numbers were over 800. Our school district sent out an email saying they would discuss this new mandate with our local health dept and get back to parents. I wasn't surprised when they came back this week saying they were going to follow the mandate. This really doesn't effect my younger kids. When we go to stores and church we already wear our masks. But this does effect Hunter and Maddie. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What really has me upset is that our STATE school board superintendent created his own school board (didn't go through the elected state school board) ummm....illegal. This new board along with the state health department and our Governor created a new set of rules for all of us parents to play by. These are just some of the new "rules". The elected school board members were NOT privy to this info. They weren't invited to their meetings. They had no idea this group had been formed. They found out with the rest of us. Our Governor and state school board superintendent has gone to far. They have both OVER REACHED their power. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikzD3CuCXjJcVY_FGVVvOVNKvVTV7o2zWYvPcCMF0OxN3uaTFm403ucTOGGmyMu19zQsO6Fye4y3Eq6Wpbrtg8V2RiAHSTwhbjifeUD5MvPKFQxfO5ieOrKnlkuBZl6X7KxYdY/s2048/2020-08-18+15.26.25.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikzD3CuCXjJcVY_FGVVvOVNKvVTV7o2zWYvPcCMF0OxN3uaTFm403ucTOGGmyMu19zQsO6Fye4y3Eq6Wpbrtg8V2RiAHSTwhbjifeUD5MvPKFQxfO5ieOrKnlkuBZl6X7KxYdY/s640/2020-08-18+15.26.25.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Our Governor is threatening/bullying our kids. A misdemeanor for ANY kid that refuses to wear a mask? For reals? Who the heck does our governor think he is? I have spoken to an attorney and 2 law enforcement officers about this. All 3 told me this will NOT happen. It would never stand up in court. But you may have to get to court to make it go away. At our rally on Friday it was good to hear the St. George PD announced they would not pursue this. Why? Because wearing a mask at school is NOT law. The Governor does NOT have the power to make it a law and thus make a punishment if this non law is broken. <div><br /></div><div>It is also AGAINST the law to deny any child a public education. If they don't want to wear a mask they can do distant learning from home. But that's not what this new rule says. If my child refuses to wear a mask then the school district has the right to refuse my child an education, in person or virtual. Again this would NOT stand up in court. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have heard many times that doctors are being told NOT to write out an exemption note for any child saying that they shouldn't/couldn't wear a mask. It wasn't put in this little synopsis I saved from the internet. I read the letter but it's to long to share here but it does state that the Utah Health Department has told doctors not to give exemption notes. These new rules also say what will happen for those kids who already have a doctors note that has been granted an exemption to wearing any face coverings. That note is to be sent to the "other" school board and they will look at them individually and decided which notes to uphold. So now this group of people know more than our doctors? This also breaks HIPPA rules. It is against the law to share the medical records with this new board of people. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Governor also stated a "cap" will be put on homeschooling numbers that run through the school district in this letter. Can he do that? He just did! There are 2 programs that I know of right now, Harmony and MyTech High that will reimburse homeschooling families (from property taxes). I was going to homeschool regardless. When I learned I could get reimbursed, I thought why not? Words getting out our Governor has capped Harmony. There are many, many families that were accepted into their program a month ago, they have acceptance letters but THIS week have received emails saying, "Sorry, we are at a max and even though we said you were accepted you really aren't." This has never happened before! What do these families do now? Continue on knowing they aren't getting reimbursed or put their kids back in public school. It's almost as if the Governor is throwing a temper tantrum. Many school districts declared masks up front because of the Governor. Many people are anti-masks! So parents pulled their kids out of the school district and joined the homeschool community but in a way they could get some money back. Governor didn't like that so he made his next move, took some of their funding! </div><div><br /></div><div>And last but not least that I will mention is that masks are mandated until a vaccine is available. If our government is willing to push this hard about masks how much harder will they push for the vaccine? In the letter he didn't say vaccines would be mandated but reading between the lines you know its coming.<p></p><p>Covid had been around for centuries, it's what we usually call a common virus. Not typically treated by an antibiotic. It's got to run it's course. Scientists have tried but have been unsuccessful in creating a medicine or vaccine in treating a covid strain. Yet we are being told by January of 2021 or when school starts next year in 2021 we will have a vaccine for Covid-19. Ummm scientists have failed for how many years to make a vaccine for any covid strain? But now you want me to believe that scientists will have a vaccine for Covid 19 in 18 months of discovering this new virus? I think not! Typhoid fever was discoverd in 1880, first vaccine was 1909. How about the flu shot? They began researching in the 1930's. In 1945 it became available to the public. But it was quickly discovered that the strain changes every year so some years the shot is better than others. Ummm pretty sure covid-19 will be similar in changing strains. Or that's what they say. How about the chicken pox vaccine? Scientists began in the 1950's. It wasn't licensed until 1995. I understand that scientifically we are farther ahead than we were even just 5 years ago. Back in March we had a special world wide fast. A part of that fast people were hoping for a vaccine. Back in March we thought this Covid 19 was extremely deadly. A few month's later we know it's not. Is it contagious? Yep! But not super deadly, remember we have a 98% chance of survival. We'll see how long it takes for a vaccine to be released. With Heavenly Father's help I'm sure it won't take years and years to make. But Governor's new rules for public school kids state masks will be mandated until a vaccine is available. So masks will be mandated in schools for how many years? 1,3,5? </p><p>This is why we protested Friday. NOT just because masks were mandated at school but because of all the over reach our Governor has done in these past few weeks. He himself has broken the law. We the people did not give him the power he feels he has to do what he has done. He has changed his mind on mandates not based on scientific proof but because of his own personal feelings. More than 50% of our legislature did not want to re-instate a "state of emergency". But he did it anyways. Why? For money! So that it is easier to receive federal funding. The state of emergency from Covid has passed. We are no longer in an emergency state. And that is what most of our legislature has said. But he did it anyways. He has over stepped his reach! And that is what we protested about. </p></div>kory and tina familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04496841989119001032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35124895.post-54358229861671908912020-08-19T21:25:00.006-07:002020-08-23T15:39:15.870-07:00 New School Year<p> My heart has been heavy over these past few weeks. I know Covid is real. I know it has taken lives and made others feel miserable for weeks on end. But so has cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity the flu and many more. We have had an alarmingly increase of suicides in the past 5 months. Why? Because people have been laid off for weeks and months. People can't pay their bills, can't care for their families. Those suffering from depression don't have the help they had before Covid. We are being seperated from one another. Social distancing has created very little interaction with others. Who are we protecting now? </p><p>Five months ago we were told "don't wear a mask", save them for the medical field. Then we were told to wear a mask, doesn't matter what kind of mask, just wear one. Then many states "mandated" masks whenever you left your house. Lets not forget the never ending keep "social distancing of 6ft" from those around you and plexi glass everywhere you go. Some chose to wear face shields in leu of the mask. Others wear bandanas over their nose, my mom wore an eye mask once to Costco cause that's all she had. Wish I had a picture of that! Some wear the tube mask. It's a tube that sits around your neck but you can pull it up over your nose. Hunter has several he has used for snow boarding. They are just hot and make your neck sweat in this heat wave we are experiencing. We are 110+ almost every day this week. This week I heard tube masks don't do anything and should be avoided. OK, but bandanas and masks are so much better? Whatever!</p><p>In May our school board sent out a survey asking parents how they wanted school to begin in August. They received something like 48% of the survey's back. Of that close to 80% stated they wanted school to begin as normal and no masks. Well then our Govenor, Herbert, decided to mandate masks for all school personal and students. I was NOT ok with this. I know it's "just" mask. But it's NOT just the mask that bothers me. It's also that kids have to practice social distancing at school to. Masks will be worn at all times except during recess and lunch. Lunch the kids sit on a sticker dot that is 6ft away from their peers. During one of the school board meetings it was asked, "What happens if a student turns towards his neighbor and try to talk to them. The answer, "you tell them to face forward." While at recess if kids can't remain social distant they will have to wear a mask. In the classroom teachers have been told to remove all personal items (to make more room to separate desks. This also means no book shelves, no rug for group activities, etc. There will be no paper, no pencil. All work will be done on chrome books, easier to clean. Library, Art, Music class, those teachers will go into each classroom now. The kids won't be able to go from class to class. How sad! If more than 15 students in the whole school test positive for Covid the whole school quarantines for 2 weeks. If more than 3 kids in the same class tests positive the whole class quarantines for 2 weeks. If the student who sits next to my child for more than 15min during the day, so during class or lunch, tests positive, my kids has to quarantine for 2 weeks. If my child has the sniffles, cough or even just allergies they have to have a doctors note saying they just have allergies and are not contagious. I just couldn't fathom sending my kids back to school in this kind of a environment. Before school began our local schools did say that you just had to have a face covering. So a face shield would be ok too. But like I said, It was everything together. </p><p>And so I began considering homeschooling. I asked around and was blown away with how large our homeschooling community is here in Southern Utah. I attended a nightly meeting once a week where I gathered information on homeschooling and talked to other parents that have homeschooled. I talked to the older mom's who have homeschooled their kids through high school. These kids have all gone onto college. I wanted that. And so Kory and I talked and then we talked to the kiddo's. </p><p>Hunter is 3 credits away from graduating. I can't take that from him. He will finish his senior year. Maddie is a junior this year. She was accepted to Dixie Tech where she will earn her CNA. She will only be taking 4 credits at the Highschool. 2 each afternoon because in the mornings she will be at the college. As of now she will finish her Highschool years. But everyone else.....we are homeschooling and I am so excited! My younger kids are totally willing to try it too. I have spend weeks now and I have no idea how many hours talking to other moms, looking into different home schooling groups and scouring the internet for curriculum and ideas. I have been on my knees begging for guidance. I've been so afraid that I would "screw" my kids up with this choice. </p><p style="text-align: center;">We chose to join a Common Wealth. We meet on Thursday's at the Hurricane Rec center. Mom's work together and teach a language arts class or history. Classes have 6-10 kids. No masks, no plexi glass, because we choose to do social distancing instead. That's what we are being told anyways. If you can remain 6ft away you don't have to wear a mask. My kids loved their 1st day last week. Common Wealth also goes on field trips. Before school officially started Emily had the opportunity to go on a field trip, they took her class for 3 days and visited Yellow Stone National Park. How fun! She had to qualify to go. She had to write 4 different essay's all 300-500 words. She had never had to write an essay before. It was a lot of work for her to do. But she did it! I was so proud of her. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggxtJkHsiNX_6Ex14s7aW8ThRvM7-tNyelNdzpTy7zaz5-1O7YL7p3ATS5XMq_rAwbrcEecxaA4eciyiQ5UXDZYaCUbhTgunAcEVObb0L810YvZqpLZme72X1L5DE5AKJoHQa6/s2048/2020-08-05+06.27.12.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggxtJkHsiNX_6Ex14s7aW8ThRvM7-tNyelNdzpTy7zaz5-1O7YL7p3ATS5XMq_rAwbrcEecxaA4eciyiQ5UXDZYaCUbhTgunAcEVObb0L810YvZqpLZme72X1L5DE5AKJoHQa6/w288-h512/2020-08-05+06.27.12.jpg" width="288" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"> Here is our 1st day of school picture!

The kids have read 4-6 books. We are learning about the Paleo Indians. We are studying Human Anatomy. We do math, grammar and spelling. We've got this! I had a moment yesterday while "teaching" my kids and I just thought "what the heck am I doing?" "Why am I doing this?", "Am I ruining them?", "am I being selfish about the whole mask thing and feeling like we are slowing loosing our basic freedoms from a diseases that still has a 98% chance of survival?" Nothing bad had happened. We were working well together. I just had these doubts hit me out of nowhere. I was questioning myself all afternoon. And then I listened to a pod cast and I knew I had made the right choice. Our whole family felt at peace with this new adventure. Kory and I want to be in charge of my kids education. </div>kory and tina familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04496841989119001032noreply@blogger.com0
