Jacob Jones

Jacob lived with us in 1996. He and his son Aaron will be returning to the scene of those adventures next week. Seems like a good time to share our Jacob stories. We'll also give him a chance to rebuttal.

Great Family Friends: The Slovers

This is the first in a series on great family friends. We start with the Slovers. Dad and I interacted in our church callings. They were in our home weekly as I gave all of the children piano lessons. We attended Philmont Scout Ranch together and we had some great times at Shanghi, their getaway in the mountains.

Trampoline Stories

Hair Cuts

Share memories of hair cuts - either getting them or giving them. Some idea starters:

Carrie Jones taking Megan to get her hair cut because Mom couldn't bear to see her long locks cut off.

Haircuts at home or in a salon.

Experiences cutting your own hair.

Babysitting

Share your memories of babysitting - either doing the sitting or being sat on.

(This idea came from Darren)

Superheros

If you could transform one of your siblings (or member of the family) into a super-hero based on one of their personality traits, who would it be and what would they turn into?

(Question submitted by Kaylene)

Staying Home Sick

Staying home sick or staying home . . . "sick". Either way, share your memories or true confessions.

The MTC

In honor of Kaylene entering the MTC this week ( Wednesday, January 14) share your memories of entering the MTC or share memories of dropping a family member off at the MTC. Also, this is a chance for you to offer her any last words of advice.

Reverence Children

We have been thinking of Emily this week. She starts the New Year off with the adventure of her new Primary calling. One of her challenges is setting a standard of reverence. We can all probably identify . . . either with the ones causing the problem or the ones looking for solutions. I thought it would be fun to share these stories tucked deep into family lore.
