There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

APRIL 21, 2012 -- PROM

PROM -- APRIL 21, 2012

Wow! the children grow up so fast!  We have loved enjoying Hyrum's high school years.  Hyrum has been the "master party planner" in the family so far and Hyrum's senior prom was no different.  After the dance, Hyrum and 34 additional friends came to our home for an "after prom party" and we had a blast until 3:00am!!  The kids enjoyed the big bon fire, they did the cha cha and the swing on the basketball court, played ping pong, and enjoyed just hanging out and talking.  At 1:30am, we served them breakfast of plain pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, OJ, and milk.  It was a hit.  The kids all seemed to enjoy being at our home and we loved having them.  We really appreciated the help from other parents and were glad that parents felt their kids were safe in our home.  What a great memory!!!
 This is a picture of Hyrum and his date, Sami Belford.  She is one of our most favorite gals at the high school.
