Poor Little Buddy!

Little Daniel is sick again! Two weeks ago, Daniel had a very high fever and ear ache for 4 straight days. He stayed in bed and slept most of that time away. He didn't eat and lost weight. I took him to the doctor, and she said that he had fluid in his ear causing vomiting, dizziness, fever, etc. After a few days of no fever, he was back to his normal self~for a week or so.

Sunday morning he woke up with a terrible cough and a fever of 103.1. He had no appetite or energy. Again today, he had a high fever, but was able to eat soup. He looks so pale and thin.

I feel so bad for my little buddy! If he has a fever again tomorrow, we will return to the doctor.

Beauty and the Beast






The Hickman Honor Choir just finished their final performance of Beauty and the Beast last night. Life has been so busy preparing for this performance. The students attended choir 2-3 afternoons a week for the past month or so to learn this show. Daniel was Monsier De Arque, a wolf, and a townsperson.

Oh The Memories!

We are home now from our summer adventures~busy in our world of school, piano, church, seminary, etc. We all miss Nauvoo, family, friends, the activities of the Nauvoo pageant. It was a wonderful opportunity for our family and something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We hope to be able to return next summer!








Hair today~gone tomorrow!
Doug couldn't wait to get his hair cut and face shaved. Let's see~we finished with pageant clean-up at 2:30 in the morning, and Doug was shaved and cut by 10:00 AM.



Although we were super busy as pioneers, we did steal a few moments to enjoy the modern parts of life. Four-wheeling is a favorite at grandpa's house.


Grandpa Fligge's horse, I mean dog, Fador! A favorite site at the pre-show field.


Walking a few weeks "in their shoes" gave us a new appreciation for the pioneers and their lifestyle.


The Davis' are pulling their load~Aunt Darlien and the cousins. :)


Grandpa, Steph, and Fador.


During the second week of the pageant, Stephanie was invited to play the part as daughter of Hyrum Smith. She got to be center stage for several scenes, including the final scene. She told me that she was not nervous, but "hyper" inside because she was so excited.

Canoeing Fun!

We enjoyed a magical afternoon canoeing on New Melones Lake. The water was crystal clear, and the weather was perfect! We even caught some fish, which was a first for our family in California. We hope that this canoeing trip will be a first of many for the summer of 2009.
