    The Cushing family gathered for a reunion this last week. We met in Donelly, Idaho. The camp was beautiful and the weather was perfect for a retreat in the forest. We spent a bunch of time swimming and playing in the lake because the weather was hot and the water felt amazing. I didn’t take…

  • Finch Photo Booth

    We have a nice tree that sits in our back yard, just beyond the patio. Finches seem to love that tree, so we hung 2 bags of finch food there for them. We all love to hear their chirps and see them flitting around, especially in the early morning. I just purchased a new set…

  • Movie Night At Vineyard Boise

    Tonight was a good ole family movie night. It just included a whole bunch of extended family. Many of whom I’ve never met. The movie of the day was the Lego Movie. I love all of the smiles and excitement. Good movie, good FREE snacks, good times.

  • Another Full Weekend

    Another Full Weekend

    What a beautiful weekend. Just as the weather begins to transition from spring time feeling temps to something more like the surface of the sun. Friday evening, we headed to the park to picnic and ended up picnicking indoors because a storm started rolling in just as we set up. It still ended up being…

  • Kindergarten Birds

    Kindergarten Birds

    The afternoon kindergarten class at The Ambrose School taught us about the birds we have in the area this morning. They each represented one of the birds and told us about them in the first person. The kids had so much fun. I think the masks actually make speaking in front of the crowd, some…

  • Egyptian Day At Ambrose

    Egyptian Day At Ambrose

    There are more reasons to love The Ambrose School than I could list. Certainly at the top of my list though, is the teachers. Every interaction that I’ve had with the teachers at Ambrose has convinced me that they honestly love God and my kids with every bit of themselves. They seem tireless in their…

  • Saturday Evening Sunset

    Saturday Evening Sunset

    I finally came up with enough money to pick up an ultra-wide lens. I got the Canon 10-18mm and I love it. It is soooo wide, and still is sharp and beautiful. I’m going to be trying out various things with it, but I had to start tonight with the gorgeous sunset.

  • It Was The Best Of Times, It Was The Worst Of Times

    It Was The Best Of Times, It Was The Worst Of Times

    Today was a day of mixed emotions for me. It was all about change. Today was Pastor Andy’s last day leading worship. It also marks the announcement of our new worship leader. I’m excited and encouraged at Andy’s faithfulness to follow God, and sad at what I can see as a loss for now. I’m…

    A Hike at Camel’s Back Park

    It’s President’s Day and I have the day off. Jaidyn joined us for the day and we all decided to go out and get some exercise with a little hike down at Camel’s Back Park. The weather was almost perfect. Just a little cool and beautiful and sunny. This last one is a nice big…
