Ricks Family: December 2010
http://dougmallena.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. Where did the year go? 2010 started out with us being together for a brief few days before Doug headed back to Omaha to finish his last two rotations before graduation. Even though it was painful to have him gone, we did so well without him. I know that sounds bad, but it was such a blessing. Yes, there were many tears and many phone calls, but we did it! When I say we, I mean, Doug, Miriam, Shaylynn, me, and the Lord. It was a group effort with the Lord carrying us all. I'm ne...

Ricks Family: July 2010
http://dougmallena.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. I braved the Yakima roads by taking the girls to their Primary Activity on Saturday. The GPS didn't get a signal until I passed my first turn so I ended up on all these random side streets. I ended up staying for the whole activity because I was afraid I'd get lost driving home. I figured I could follow someone home after we were done. Why not use the GPS again? Well, our location is so new it is not an address in our GPS. Pulling Taffy- - My kids, not fans.

Ricks Family: September 2010
http://dougmallena.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 20, 2010. Stylish and Ready For School! Miriam started school on August 31st. She was really excited to go to school, me not so much. She and Shaylynn play so well together and I just love having her home. Second grade just sounds so grown up and it's hard to believe my sweet baby is no longer my sweet baby. I'm just so proud of Miriam! I had an outfit all picked out for her first day of school. Miriam decided she wanted something different. I really had a hard time letting go a...Choco...

Ricks Family: I Can't Believe It!!!!
http://dougmallena.blogspot.com/2012/02/i-cant-believe-it.html
Monday, February 13, 2012. I Can't Believe It! This is such a lame reason to update my blog, but I'm SO excited, I just had to share with someone! Right before my birthday last year I "accidentally" bought a Cricut machine on ebay. Have you ever done that? Put in a price knowing there is NO WAY you'll get it for that cheap, and then won? What a silly story, I need to just show you the pictures. Sorry for the blah, blah, blah. Without further delay, here are the pictures:. I absolutely LOVE the shirts!

Ricks Family: Whisperings of the Spirit
http://dougmallena.blogspot.com/2011/01/whisperings-of-spirit.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Whisperings of the Spirit. Miriam didn't get off the bus today. I was terrified. "Where is she? Is she hiding behind the sign at the end of the road? No, is she one of the kids I can't see very clearly? I can't remember what she was wearing. NO, that isn't her. WHERE IS SHE? If I'm just walking down the street. If I wouldn't have grabbed my phone, it would have been like I said before- -more waiting time before I could ACT. Posted by Doug and Mallena. Oh I know that feeling&#...

Ricks Family: July 2011
http://dougmallena.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 13, 2011. It's been a long time since I've posted anything, but it's been a long time since I've had anything to report. Now I almost have too much to write about. Doug finished his classes and then came and picked us up and we headed back to Idaho. Doug stayed with his parents Saturday night and they took him to the airport on Sunday. It was sad not to be with him for Father's Day, but it was fun celebrating with my family. Playing at the Park in Salt Lake. Posted by Doug and Mallena.
