Winter Family Ball & Scholarships

Conference Discount Pricing Extended Once More! Get your tickets now!

I will be doing five drawings this week for scholarship registrations. If you know a homeschooling family that would like to attend the ball and conference, but their financial situation does not permit them to, please submit their name along with a couple details about them, including phone and email. You are allowed to nominate yourself. Their names will be kept private. Only they will be notified for privacy protection. Please privately submit that information to me at wcheftammy@msn.com.

On a very personal note: I grew up in a family where my mom was single much of the time with six of us kids. There were many days we didn't know where our next meal was coming from, literally. I know there are families who are homeschooling that are in need. I would like to help. Thank you for helping me to help. If you would like to donate to more scholarships, please also send a private email so we can arrange that. Thank you so much.

Warmly,

Tammy Ward

Brigham City Temple Celebration

I have posted a couple times about my two oldest daughters being in the Brigham City Temple Cultural Celebration that was held on September 22nd, 2012. Here is a link so you can see it!

Temple Celebration

The youth practiced for many hours. I am so proud of them! They are truly amazing examples. They have fallen in love with this Temple. My daughters performed several musical numbers with the crowd and dances, including their specialty dance which is the fourth one. It was in honor to the Latino community that helped settled our area.

Linking Eternity Family Unit Study

Our family is venturing into a year long unit study. It is super exciting!

Yesterday my older daughters got to do 'Baptisms for the Dead' at the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. It was beautiful to walk around the grounds with the other kids while we were waiting for them.

I asked George what his favorite part was and he said "Jesus!" How cute is that?

Kaden said his favorite part was when we toured the Beehive house. He thought the bees and the train track carved into the stair case.

Braxee enjoyed going to the Family History Library. We had a couple ladies there teach Kylee and Aubree some neat stuff on the computers there. Afterwards, we enjoyed the Joseph Smith movie there at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

We also went to the Records building which is across the street from the Conference Center. Their website was down but they still took the opportunity to show us a few things. Some of the key things I learned there are:

*You can request patriarchal blessings for your direct line ancestors
*You can request to see materials in the morning and they will have them all lined up for you that day when you come. You can request to see photographs, journals, family heirlooms, etc.
*You can donate your own items and they will preserve them for you. They are all about preserving and sharing. VERY COOL!

He also taught me that most of the old newspapers are now digitized. That is awesome. You can even go to digitalnewspapers.org and put a name or phrase in their search engine and it will bring up images of newspapers that have them. I just found out that my my 5th great grandfather was a SENATOR! Very cool. Here is the link:

http://udn.lib.utah.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/boxelder/id/12516/show/12561/rec/2

What a cool way to get to know your ancestors even more. It was a very successful day! The girls are even more fired up about getting to know their ancestors more. ME TOO!

Chesterfield, ID was a massive success. I love family UNITS!

Each week, we work a little bit on our goal. We have been collecting records, information, photographs. We even started a blog all about our grandma so we can preserve her memory and share it with future generations. Now, everyone can share images and stories of her. :)
