The Dougall Daily: Father's Day & "Can You Beat the Daddy 4.0"
http://dougalldaily.blogspot.com/2015/06/fathers-day-can-you-beat-daddy-40.html
Monday, June 22, 2015. Father's Day and "Can You Beat the Daddy 4.0". Every year Rich wants to downplay Father's Day but I can't imagine not celebrating this terrific dad. In what has become a true tradition, Rich received the "Can You Beat the Daddy" box filled with a new batch of Minute to Win It games. This year is was Kids vs. Dad. Game #1: Bite Me. Game #2: Pink Elephant. Rich redeemed himself with this game because he was the only one able to stack the slinky on his forehead without using his hands.

The Dougall Daily: November 2014

Sunday, November 30, 2014. No Charlie Brown tree for us! Did you know that Oregon has more acreage devoted to Christmas tree farming than any other state? Just a little piece of Christmas tree trivia for you). So it is almost embarrassing to admit that for the past four years we have resided in the heart of Christmas tree country and have had fake trees. FINALLY this was our year to make that right and we went out to CUT DOWN OUR OWN TREE! The decision of what tree to get was tough. But we didn't give up.

The Dougall Daily: March 2015

Monday, March 30, 2015. Spring Break Part 2. After having the first half of our Spring Break to ourselves, we welcomed my brother and his family to Oregon and spent the second half of our Spring Break playing at every opportunity. Was spent at the coast. We toured the Tillamook Cheese Factory, bought cheese curds and enjoyed delicious ice cream cones outside under blue skies. I am lucky they were still talking to me by the end. Once we completed the hike we went to Oceanside for a quick visit to the ocean.

The Dougall Daily: July 2014

Thursday, July 31, 2014. C kind of likes basketball :). Next summer he wants to attend Basketball Camp at BYU and we are completely supportive, but supportive or not, we have told C that he has to earn a portion of the camp tuition in order to attend. Earning large sums of money is not exactly the easiest thing to do as an 11-year-old, but thanks to a generous ward member (and a dad who isn't afraid to offer his son's services) C is now delivering door hanger advertisements for a house cleaning company.

The Dougall Daily: April 2014

Sunday, April 27, 2014. A miracle for C. It has been a rough week for C since the coyote attack on Wednesday morning. He has accepted the death of the chickens, but in the quiet moments he lets himself think about it too much and the tears start all over again. As a mom I would do just about anything to take away the ache of his loss but there isn't a thing I can do to bring those chickens back. Boy, do I wish there was! She told us where she had seen the chicken and C was off! But little red was never f...

Sunday, April 26, 2015. Reading} a dad and his boys. I hope my boys know how lucky they are! At any given time, Rich has a book that he is reading to C and another book that he is reading to J and T together. And frequently the boys listen in on each other's books, which is cute. Not many days go by without Rich reading at least a couple of pages of each book with the respective boys. This year they have already read. Summer of the Monkeys". Where the Red Fern Grows". Another day in the Life of Katherine.

The Dougall Daily: February 2015
http://dougalldaily.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2015. She is an entire year older! After the whirlwind of the holidays, January and February tend to be a lot less busy, with significantly less activities to blog about. My lack of blogging has been commented on by the kiddos so I thought I ought to do a quick catch up on each of the kids. K celebrated her 14th birthday in January. I can't believe that I didn't post anything for her birthday sooner! But for each ache of my heart, she is in the background doing the excited dance.

Friday, January 23, 2015. How to raise a confident child. I have had three very good laughs from my three sons recently.and they all speak to the confidence that they each have within themselves. T's confidence in his physique. T was on the floor doing push ups and when I commented on what he was doing he told me that he was working on getting an "eight pack". I said, "I think you mean a six pack". To which he replied, "No. I already have a six pack. Now I want an eight pack.". Yep That's my boys. When h...
