Introduction

My New Year's Goal for 2014 was to start a family blog to share our family's stories, experiences, recipes, ideas, etc... in an effort to keep in touch with family that lives far away and as a way to journal our life.  I have blogged before, using extended family blogs and I had a blog for our cub scout pack, but I never started a blog of my own because it seemed like it would be too much work and no one would really be that interested in it.  However, I do enjoy reading the blogs of others so I decided it is only fair that I let those whose blogs I peak in on to sneak a peak at our family as well.  Well, here we go. 

I do not know how often I will make entries.  I am hoping once a week, but please do not hold me to that.  My in-laws are currently at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah and will be headed to Durban, South Africa in February 2014.  I do want to stay in contact with them and hope that this blog will be a way of helping us do that.  I also need to something to force me to take more pictures and this blog should help with that.  We take a lot of pictures, but I am not great at sharing our private family pictures.  Please bear with me.

"We Just Call Them Son" is the title of our blog.  I had thought of other clever titles, but apparently they were not so clever as they were already taken.  This title was available.  This title stems from our every day life.  With so many sons in our home (there are six of them), it is sometimes difficult to get all of their names right.  I know we named them so we should get their names right, and most of the time we do, but we have said the wrong name on occasion.  My genius husband does not use their names often as he gets confused at times, especially if the children are not facing him (they all look so much alike).  In an effort to not confuse one son with another, my husband just calls all of them son.  It makes every day life simpler with less mistakes with name calling in our home so "we just call them son."  Life with sons is never boring and you are about to witness the many adventures of life in our boy home.  Happy reading!
