http://balmforthfamily.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Zach and the temple. When our friend Erica came home from her mission her cousin came to her homecoming. He noticed something different about her and wanted to learn more. He met with the missionaries from our church with Erica but then she had to leave for college. We were introduced to Zach and were fortunate enough to have him continue the lessons in our home. He was baptized the end of Febraury. I am so thankful to be a part of this gospel. I'm so thankful for these moment...

Balmforth Family Updates: Greek yogurt and chocolate
http://balmforthfamily.blogspot.com/2015/08/greek-yogurt-and-chocolate.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Greek yogurt and chocolate. The boys and I have a new love. Freshly made greek yogurt. It's a little pricey so we don't buy it very often but it's so delicious it's a necessary treat every once and awhile, so far our favorites are honey coconut and strawberry and banana.

Balmforth Family Updates: May 2015
http://balmforthfamily.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. Ben took Anna Berry to mormon prom. When the words "Mormon Prom" are mentioned to most people in the west, people say "Is that really a thing? Yes, Mormon Prom really is a thing. For a lot of kids this is the only prom they go too. I think this year 6 stakes (200ish kids ages 16-18) were invited. They had a blast. It takes a long time to take couple shots of that many kids so me and Anna's mom were having some fun posing Anna and Ben in our own little photo shoot. The mouse is now g...

Balmforth Family Updates: February 2015
http://balmforthfamily.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2015. We spent a better part of our weekend painting (that's for a different blog post) and cleaning the ice dams off of our roof. Ice dams are a common occurrence out here and are nothing more than a big inconvenience that can do a lot of damage to your house and roof if they aren't taken care of. It's a lot of work and I was sure proud and thankful that the boys were willing to work so hard. Sunday, February 22, 2015. 30-45 minutes later this is the "something" that he came up w...

http://balmforthfamily.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. An unexpected tender mercy. They kept talking about my mom and the kind of person that she was. They were each friends with my mom and also served with my mom in various callings. So from working together and playing together they developed strong friendships with her,. My mom was always looking for ways to help other people. Even if it was just being a friend she always seemed to be doing something for some one. I loved that they remembered this about her. He still loves my si...

http://balmforthfamily.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Meghan and I went to a Women's Conference in Lowell. I don't think I ever mentioned that my dad moved out to a place of his own in April and Meghan moved in in May. She will be here working until she leaves for her mission in January. We went to a womens conference sponsered by our church. It was for all women of faith, not necessarily just members of our church. The keynote speaker was Stefanie Nielson. And we just happened to be on the 4th row! Monday, June 22, 2015. They played...

Balmforth Family Updates: lobster, goodbyes and the temple
http://balmforthfamily.blogspot.com/2015/07/lobster-goodbyes-and-temple.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Lobster, goodbyes and the temple. Elder Trujillo just went home, but before he left we had lobster for his last supper. Like I said, they are spanish speaking elders so they are used to getting beans and rice for most of their meals. When they come to our house they say "can we have white people food for dinner? I have no idea what white people is but for their last supper they wanted new england food so we had lobster. They needed lobster bibs! July 30, 2015 at 11:08 AM. End of...

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. 19 catch up blog posts in one day. My New Years Resolution is to never get. That behind on the blog again. Our morning started early with kids scoping out their gifts. We spent the next few hours slowly opening our gifts. Christmas day is all about time with the family. It's the best day of the year. The homemade gift exchange is becoming one of my favorite traditions. Ben made for Josh a marshmallow gun. I made for Ben some signs for his room. Temple and the missionaries.

Balmforth Family Updates: October 2014
http://balmforthfamily.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Meghan and I went to Maine for our last hurrah before she went home. We went to Nubble light house and to the taffy store in the center of town. Megs loved watching them make the taffy. We hung out at the window for quite awhile. I loved watching her love it. It reminded me of my mom. Every time we went to Maine we had to go to the taffy store! We ventured to Perkins cove and had lobster for lunch. I think she had more fun playing with the lobster than eating it. We brought home...

Friday, August 21, 2015. I have a new calling. I'm the girls camp director for our stake. Ugh I haven't been to girls camp since high school, I know nothing about girls camp and now I need to plan it for more than 100 girls? Thankfully, I was called before this years girls camp so I was able to attend as an observer and at least try to grasp the concept of what happens at girls camp. Youth conference ended on Saturday evening and Monday I was unpacked and packed again or girls camp. As for the hair, I ke...
