English Language Camp 2015!
It's official! We are going to have another language camp this summer, 2015, with our company, Wasatch Language Camp. Scott got back this week after doing our first recruiting tour in Taiwan. We are excited to announce that we aren't just going to have one camp in July, but we are hoping to fill a SECOND camp in August!
We will be looking for host families to host our students, so if you live in our area and are interested, please check out our host family page and apply. We'd love to have you become part of the Wasatch Language Camp family!

Gratitude and Service
It has been the third week in a row of sick children, little sleep, and few outlets for momma! That is what happens when five kids (and a husband) all take their turns for getting sick. Thankfully, we are blessed to not get sick very often. Phew! This momma couldn't take many more sleepless nights.
After such a rough stretch, I've been feeling a little down and overwhelmed today. Nothing particular was wrong, I'm probably just sleep deprived. So to try to turn my frown upside down, I decided to write down all the reasons I am grateful!
1. After such a rough stretch of sleeplessness and sometimes feeling under-the-weather myself, I should have had an MS attack, but I didn't! My body has felt "heavy" and tired, which is a signal that I am on the precipice of an attack (which is waking up numb, unable to walk and/or use my hands, etc.). But, partly because I have been working so hard on watching my diet lately, I have been ok.
2. The kids were never bad enough to have to take to the doctor. This is great because I hate going to the doctor. I'm a bit pessimistic when it comes to the medical profession. They usually seem to have less of an idea of what is wrong than I do, and resort to prescribing antibiotics or some other kind of medicine that I won't fill because I don't think it is necessary (or is good to take). I'm sure there are more balanced doctors out there, but I haven't found one yet in my area, at least one that my insurance will cover. (If you know of one, I will take suggestions).
3. I have 5 beautiful children and a wonderful husband!
4. And it is Chinese New Year! Time to go start cooking for my family and our friends. Service always brings a smile!

Kami's Bon-bons
My friend Kami brought these by to me on one of those horrible, no good, very bad days and since then they have become my go-to for a little chocolate fix. The only bad thing about these scrumptious balls is that you will be tempted to eat the whole batch!
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup coconut (I use Bob's Red Mill unsweetened flaked)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup coconut oil
3 T honey
pinch of salt
Mix into balls and chill (if they even make it to the refrigerator!)
I'll add a picture the next time I make them!
