t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

Playing with Mimi and Papa

What a wonderful, fun-filled, week we spent in California. Enjoy some of the highlights!

Riding the Carousel at the Pier in San Francisco.

Swimming like crazy in the pool...
Spending countless hours playing card games, barbies, trains and anything else the little ones could coerce their amazingly tolerant and loving Mimi and Papa into...
Hitting the links on occasion...scantily clad...
Ever so graciously enjoying snuggles with Great Grandma...again, scantily clad...
Some of us really enjoying our sweet, wonderful Great Grandma, whom we love so much!
Reliving the High School Dream of #10 to #1. Known by local groupies and football enthusiats as "The Mormon Connection." Hoping for a second generation...maybe if Emmett and Josh watch the highlight films a few more times...as if we didn't get enough while we got the two families together...
An astonishingly cute bunch of children....thanks to Josh and Jennifer for a wonderful afternoon swimming and catching up...
Becoming dangerously intimate with Mimi cats, at risk of spending time covered in hives and swollen eyes...darn it, we discovered Callista inherited my cat allergy...after this little cuddle session...
Timeless memories on all counts...
