Family Adventure Day 2013!

I just realized that I did not do an entry last year for our annual adventure day.  We went to Columbia, a gold town in Northern California.  To see all the photos from that Adventure Day, click HERE and HERE.

This year, for our 6th annual Family Adventure Day, we went to the Kings & Sequoia National Parks on 10 August 2013.  We saw the Giant Sequoias and climbed to the top of Moro Rock.  We saw some beautiful country and then drove into Visalia for dinner.  It was a fun day!

The Nehring Christmas Card 2012

All year long I have great intentions to post things on our blog, but I never seem to have the time.  So, here, condensed, is our year -- in the form of our yearly Christmas letter/card.

Merry Christmas!

Our very late Christmas greeting

Well, here it is, past the middle of January, and I am finally getting to our Christmas card and letter. Enjoy! : )



Greetings to all our family and friends!! We are little behind on getting our greetings out this year. We loved hearing from all of you this year and are happy to hear that you are all doing so well. We appreciate and love all of you and hope that you are planning a wonderful New Year! When we consider our blessings for this year, you are all at the top of the list!!

Amanda turned 13 this year and is in 8th grade. She is one of the best snare drummers on the Middle School drum line and she tried out for Girl’s basketball and made the team!! She is doing exceptionally well in school and volunteers at the local library. Amanda got to travel all by herself to Alaska this summer and visited with Gma Kathryn and Gpa Herb. Among many things while she was there, she got to do a Wolf Encounter at the Alaska Zoo. She liked that very much! Amanda also went to her first year at Girl’s Camp and had a great time!

Rebecca is 10 this year and in 5th grade. She is doing well in school and she loves writing her own stories like crazy! This summer Rebecca got to spend a week all by herself with Gma Carol and Papa in Auberry. She had a great time and Gma Carol helped her to sew her own skirt. Rebecca is also learning how to crochet and is enjoying that very much. Rebecca has continued with her piano lessons and likes to memorize the pieces so she can play them anywhere there is a piano. Rebecca is also growing her hair out so she can donate it to Locks of Love. She can’t wait for it to be long enough to cut off. She likes her hair short.

Katrina is 5 this year and started Kindergarten! She has been waiting to start school for as long as she knew what it was and she is so happy to be there this year. She loves her teacher and is doing very well, reading and writing above her grade level. Katrina loves to read books, and loves to sing, dance, color, and play games on the computer. Katrina is trying to learn her place in the world and sometimes is fussy about not knowing this VERY SECOND. It is very hard for a 5 year old to be patient. Sigh. : ) Katrina got her ears pierced recently and is taking good care of them and looking forward to when she can wear different earrings!

Kevin’s work has steadily increased over the past six months, for which we are very grateful. They now have a backlog which they haven’t had for 2 1/2 years, which is hopefully a good indicator that the economy is slowly turning around. Kevin is involved in many different organizations, continuing his position on the Kerman Planning Commission, and as President of the San Joaquin Chapter of the California Land Surveyors Association. This year he has been serving on Sheriff Mims’ Fresno County Sheriff’s Citizens Advisory Committee and has recently become the Vice President of the Fresno County Neighborhood Watch Committee. He also continues as webmaster of the Honda Rider’s Group.

Lora is doing a lot of volunteer work, helping in the girl’s classrooms, serving on two school site councils, the Bond Oversight Committee for the new school being built in Kerman, and this year became the President of the Friends of the Kerman Branch Library. Lora lost weight this year and then gained it back. Grrr! She continues to work her own business from home and also attends the Temple weekly. She has done a lot of family history this year and is working on trying to compile it all onto a program that she can share!

We have had a few adventures this year. In March Lora and the girls travelled to the coast to see Lora’s Gpa and to have some fun. We also drove to the Palm Springs area in November to spend Thanksgiving with both of Lora’s brothers and their families! It was the first time we had all been together in five years and four of the kids had not even been born then, so it was a wonderful time to spend together. The kids had fun and so did the grown ups!! We have had visits from Lora’s parents, aunts, uncles and cousins, and past missionaries who served in Kerman. And, of course, we see Lora’s Gma Willie often and Kevin’s family almost every Sunday.

We hope you have a great year in 2011. Please keep in touch. We love to hear how you are all doing!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

This was a wonderful holiday weekend!! Absolutely wonderful!! A few weeks ago my brother Jordan -- who lives in Alaska with his wife, Sioux-z, and their two daughters, Isabel and Ivy -- called and said that they were going to be in Palm Springs (actually, La Quinta, a town a little bit to the east) for Thanksgiving, and he was hoping that we could come down to spend it with them. He was also going to call my youngest brother, Jeremy -- who lives in Castaic with his wife, Renee, and their twins, Lily and Zachary -- to see if they could be there too. It worked! The last time we were all together was five years ago. I was pregnant with Katrina, Sioux-z was pregnant with Ivy, and Lily and Zachary were not even a twinkle in their parent's eyes yet.

We left Kerman on Wednesday afternoon and drove out through the high desert and then down to La Quinta. As we drove through Tehachapi it was 29 degrees and there were mounds of old snow that had been plowed off the parking lot of the gas station where we stopped. It was cold, but the sky was clear and the moon was bright! We got to La Quinta very late and quickly unpacked and got some sleep.

On Thursday morning we had breakfast and then went to one of the community pools. It was a heated pool, and the girls had a great time! Jordan and I got to sit and talk and we had a great time. Usually when we are getting together it is for an event of some sort (wedding, graduation, etc.) and the event is the focus, but this time we could just sit and talk and relax. It was so nice!

When Jeremy and Renee arrived all the cousins were so excited to be together!

We started getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner. We had a ham, a turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing, vegetables, sweet potatoes and rolls. We brought the large patio table in and, together with the dining room table, we had a perfect tablefor all of us. We set the table with the place cards that the girls made with Gma Kathryn while she was here visiting a few weeks ago.

Dinner was lovely! As we began to eat we offered a Thanksgiving toast and then Jordan asked everyone what they were thankful for. Most of us said how grateful we were to be together this Thanksgiving! After dinner we had pie (I made the pecan and pumpkin), checked out the deals for Black Friday in the newspaper (nothing enticed us out early), and watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

We also tried to Skype with Dad and Mom. There were 13 million people on Skype, so we had a bad connection with Dad. Later, we got to talk to Mom on Google video chat. (I forgot to take a photo of that one.) It was great to be able to have all seven grandkids waving in the camera for each grandparent to enjoy. And for all three kids as well. Technology is pretty cool!

On Friday morning we all went for a hike up the Indian Trail. When I say up, I mean UP!! The trail went up the hills behind the community. Sioux-z, Amanda, Rebecca and Isabel forged ahead and got to the top long before the rest of us. Katrina did not want to hike up, so she and Kevin stayed at the bottom. Jordan, Jeremy and I, along with Lily, Zachary and Ivy, worked our way slowly to the top. About 3/4 of the way up, the rest passed us on the way down. Sioux-z took the little kids, and Jordan and Jeremy and I finished the climb together and spent a few minutes at the top of the climb.

In the afternoon the kids went on the boats with Jordan, Jeremy and Sioux-z and then they went to the pool again while Kevin and I went to see what was in the area (we hadn't left the community the whole time), and Jeremy and Renee drove around so their kids could get a nap. Kevin and I found a few caches and then drove back.

Friday night, after the kids had gone to bed, the six adults sat in the kitchen and played Go Fish and War with Hello Kitty playing cards. We all laughed and talked and laughed and laughed and laughed some more! It was so much fun!! We wished that could have lasted forever!!

Saturday morning we packed up and headed for home. It took us seven hours to drive down, and we had a few other stops to make along the way, so we started how at a little after 10am. We all waved and yelled good-bye and waved some more! It was hard to leave after such a great few days!!



As we headed for Riverside, Katrina suddenly yelled out that she could dinosaurs on the side of the road, so we stopped in Cabazon to see the dinosaurs. It was incredibly windy, so we snapped a few photos and then got on the road. In Riverside, we went to the Riverside National Cemetery where my grandfather, Donald Caman, and his wife, are interred. The last time I saw my Gpa Caman, was when Amanda was 18 months old. I have a photo with me and Amanda, Jordan and Jeremy and Gpa Caman together. We found their headstone and took some photos.

We travelled back towards home, stopping here and there to find some geocaches. We stopped in Tehachapi for dinner, and we had sleet on the window. There was snow on the hills surrounding the city. It rained on us all the way down into the Valley and on and off all the way home. We got home before 9pm and were happy to be sleeping in our own beds! It was a lovely, lovely vacation!!! It was so nice to be together with my brothers and their great wives! The kids had a great time together and had a wonderful time!! I hope it won't be another five years before we all get together again.

Lora the Cheesemaker

A few months ago when I was reading the book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" the author mentioned making her own cheese. I was really intrigued with the idea and looked online for the company she mentioned. I found the New England Cheesemaking Supply Company online and ordered their starter kit.

I got the kit a few days later and I was very excited to try it out! I even enlisted the girls' help and they were excited too. We poured in the milk, heated it up and stirred and added the acid and the rennet, we let it cook, and it kind of, sort of separated and then when we put it in the microwave, it just sort of turned to curd soup. Hmm. Not very inspiring.

The recipe very clearly states that you are not to use ultra-pasteurized milk, which I hadn't, but it also suggests trying a different brand if it doesn't work. So, I bought a different brand and tried again. Again, curd soup. Even soupier actually. I was supposed to be making mozzarella cheese and instead we had wasted two gallons of milk.

I emailed the company and said, "Help! I really want to do this, but I am having trouble!" They emailed back saying that dairies are getting away with heating the milk hotter and hotter and so the "regular" pasteurization is actually too hot to make cheese.

So, I went in search of a place where I could get milk straight from the cow. As luck would have it, we have an organic raw milk dairy just a few miles from our house. I went and bought the milk (and holy cow! -- no pun intended! -- it is amazing the prices they can get away with when it is organic!) and tried again. This time as I was getting everything ready, I was refreshing myself on the instructions and I read that the water you use to dissolve the rennet and the citric acid needs to be chlorine-free. I asked Kevin if he knew if we have chlorine in our water, and he said we probably did, so I used a bottle of drinking water instead.

I started to make the cheese and it all started working just like it was supposed to! Yea! I fact, it worked so well that the cheese was already stretching before I even got it out of the pot! A few minutes later I had a beautiful, shiny ball of mozzarella cheese! Wahoo! Finally!

I emailed the company and told them of my success and asked about the chlorine. They said that would definitely affect the rennet, so I am going to try again with a regular gallon of store bought milk and use drinking water instead and see how it goes.

We tried the cheese out with some crackers and it was good, and tonight we are going to have spaghetti and I am going to grate some to put on top! Yum!

Happy Mother's Day!

A day at the Zoo

Today was a gorgeous spring day and we went to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. We had decided to go last week, and then the Sister missionaries asked us if there was a Zoo in Fresno, and so we decided to go today so they could go on their P-day. We hadn't been for a while, so Katrina was especially excited, as last time she was a little too young to really appreciate the Zoo.

Since it was still cool the animals were all pretty active and we got to see most of them. The Winged Wonders Bird Show was not doing shows during the week in the month of March, so unfortunately we didn't get to see that, but other than that, we saw most everything. With the new camera, I took a TON of photos of all the animals, as I was able to get some great upclose shots that I hadn't been able to get before! We saw the birds, monkeys, reptiles, elephants, tigers, giraffes, zebras, flamingos and much more!

The Stingray Encounter was back and so we got to pet the stingrays and we also fed the giraffes. It was a lot of fun!

Oh, and Happy St. Patrick's Day! (Amanda is wearing a shirt with green on it under her red sweatshirt!)

Yosemite

Today we took a trip up to Yosemite. It was me, the girls, our friend Cory Molloy, and the Sister missionaries, Sister Clegg and Sister Cooly. Sister Clegg goes home soon and hadn't been to Yosemite yet, so we wanted to make sure she got a chance to see it before she went home.

It was a gorgeous, albeit chilly, day as we started out from Kerman. We drove through Coarsegold and Oakhurst and then as we got closer to the gate, we were stopped, along with many other cars, by a CHP officer who was enforcing the "Chains Required" rule. Cory was driving and they had just bought an SUV and had not put chains on it yet. We pulled out the chains and attempted to put them on the front tires of the car. These were not the thin cable-type chains, these were the big 1" link chains. We could get one side of the tire attached, but the second side was less than an inch from connecting, and it was not going to budge! We found some large elastic bands with hooks on them and jimmy-rigged the last bit together, on both sides. It was very cold and it was very dirty in the wheel well.

After we got past the CHP officer, we started slowly down the road. We got a little ways and one of the chains started to come off, so we had to stop the car and realign the chain and reattach it. In the meantime, the CHP officer drove by us. After we got back on the road we came up behind him and he came back to talk to us. He asked if we were okay and when we told him we were just fixing up the chains, he asked us if we had the chains on the right tires. The SUV was not 4-wheel drive and was an automatic. We had not been able to find any information about which wheels were the drive wheels in the owners manual, so we just weren't sure. We drove on to the gate and stopped and scoured the owner's manual again. I wasn't able to find anything that said which wheels were the drive wheels, but I did finally find something that said that chains should go on the back tires only. By now we were pros and we got them switched within a few minutes!

We got into the park and started driving down the snow-free roads, and by the time we reached Wawona, Cory had had it and we took the chains off the truck. We were driving so slow we were never going to make it anywhere before we had to turn around to take the Sisters back home.

Glacier Point, where we really wanted to go, was closed, so we went down to the valley floor. The fog and clouds were obscuring most of the scenery, especially Half Dome, but there was one point where we were able to get a quick picture of it with nothing obscuring it.

We saw a coyote, but that was it. I was disappointed, as I like going to Yosemite in the winter because with less tourists, there is usually more wildlife roaming around, and this time we only saw a coyote. He was a good looking coyote though.

We went to the gift shop and then we hightailed it home to get the Sisters back in time. The day did not go as planned, but we had fun. We saw some beautiful country, saw some snow and did a lot of talking and laughing. It was a good day.

7/21/07, 00:29

The time stamp on our receipt read 00:29. That is what time it was on Saturday, 21 July 2007, when we finally got our hands on Book 7 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows!

8:30am on Friday the girls and I went and stood in line outside Borders Books, and when they opened at 9:00am, we inched forward until we got inside and got wristband #121!

During the day we did a few last minute preparations, and then at 10:00pm I got Amanda and Rebecca up, we got into our costumes, and, wands at the ready, we drove back to Borders Books. Amanda and Rebecca were dressed as students from Gryffindor House and I was dressed as Professor Trelawny. We got there too late for the costume contest (which several people said I would have won), but we did get to be on tv. Several of us stood behind a hispanic newscaster and waved and said "Univision!" for the 11:00 news broadcast on Channel 21 Univision (the local Spanish station).

There wasn't a whole lot else to do, so we wandered about the store, taking pictures of great costumes, and getting our pictures taken as well, and then it was finally time. At midnight, everyone counted down, and then we were called up to the line in groups. I asked Amanda what she was going to be doing in the van on the way home, and she said, "probably sleeping." I said, "Uh uh, you are going to be reading out loud!"

So, at 12:29 on Saturday morning, we got our book. Thankfully there were no evil Voldemort followers shouting spoilers out in the parking lot, so we are still going to find out what happens to Harry Potter the old fashioned way! Amanda is on chapter seven, and I got my copy from Amazon today in the mail, and I am on chapter three. I have to go now, I've got to catch up!

Anchorage to Kerman

Whew! We made it home! And it was only 85 degrees when we got here! The girls spent the whole day talking about how part of them really didn't want to leave Alaska, and the other part couldn't wait to be home!

Our flights were great! Our flight from Anchorage left only a few minutes late, so there was no worry about a "short" connection in Seattle. I rented DVD players for Amanda and Rebecca on the flight and so they got to watch "Night at the Museum" while we traveled. Katrina colored in her coloring book and crawled all over her seat and me.

When we arrived at Seattle, Katrina was as thrilled as ever to see her stroller waiting for her in the jetway. Each time we have landed somewhere, she has walked off the plane and then jumped up and down, pointing, "My stroller! My stroller!". This leg of the trip she was much more brave about taking that step from the jetway to the plane and visa versa. She is getting to be a pro at this flying thing!

The Seattle Airport is really nice. It's like they are making airports into little cities these days. Anyway, where the food court is, there is a two-story wall of windows and you can sit there and watch the planes take off and land. It is really neat. We had some nachos and spent a little while figuring out the big, huge hanging art in the food court, and there was a kid's area, but since we had enough time to eat and then get back to our gate, I didn't point it out to the girls. There is a really fun drinking fountain in the B concourse that has a speaker below it and when you push the button it makes a loud water gurgling sound.

In Seattle we had to go out on the tarmac to board the plane, so this was a little different than before, but the girls did very well. Katrina got in her seat, looked out the window and squealed, "Momma! My stroller!" She could still see it sitting at the bottom of the ramp before they loaded it into the belly of the plane.

We flew around a storm on the leg between Seattle and Fresno and Amanda was excitedly reporting every time she saw the lightening flash in the clouds, while I explained to a much less enthusiastic Rebecca that the pilot was flying us away from the storm and we didn't have to worry.

I told everyone I could about how smooth everything was going on our trip and how grateful we were for that. They were all very appreciative to hear positive comments, rather than the usual negative. We were very happy to be able to have such good reports.

When we got to Fresno, the terminal was empty and almost dark. (I miss the days when people could meet you right off the plane!) We walked down the long corridor, and finally the girls could see Kevin, who was standing there with a Welcome Home sign for them. They ran to him, and Katie did not let go of her hug for quite a long time.

The girls were thrilled to see the van again and they talked excitedly most of the way home, telling their dad all the fun things they did and had seen. They will have enough stories for quite a while!

Last Post from Alaska

We can hardly believe our visit here to Alaska is nearly over. In any case, this will be my last post for this trip. It has gone by REALLY fast! We have loved being here and all the great things we have been able to do while we were here! We are also looking forward to being home.

What we are not looking forward to is the doubling of the temprature between here and California. We have been watching the heat wave build and we are not looking forward to plunging from 65 degrees to 110 degrees (Detail) in a course of eight hours! Yikes!

Today we started working on packing and cleaning, etc. and then the girls and I went out to the Alaska Native Heritage Center. But by the time we got there it was pouring rain and most of the displays there are outside, so instead we went to the Imaginarium and played there! There was a fun touchy-feely tide pool area where the kids got to touch starfish and anemones, and then we also got to watch the reptile encounter and the girls got to pet a snake, an alligator and a turtle. Fun!

Tonight for dinner we went to the Lucky Wishbone, a really great family-owned restaurant here in Anchorage. It was one of my favorite places when I was in high school, and I always try to go there when I come to Anchorage. It was so good, and I got to have my pineapple shake! Yum!

Tomorrow we are home! We are hoping for as smooth a flight on the way home as we had up here!

See all the pics here.

Happy Fourth of July!!!

It's past midnight again! The fireworks didn't start tonight until 11:35pm, so we were up late!

Today was a lot of fun! We started the day off with our own little private pancake breakfast, rather than head downtown in the rain for the one that the city was hosting.

We left for the parade and got good seats that gave us a good view of the staging area and the end of the parade route. The weather was nice enough to stop the rain for the parade time. It was a lot of fun! We saw all kinds of great floats and the patriotic spirit in the crowd and with the participants was great! There were a few highlights for each of us! Me, I am always a sucker for bagpipes. Amanda went crazy when she saw the Star Wars contingent round the corner. Rebecca loves polar bears and when the Alaska Zoo float went by, the polar bear mascot passed by everyone else and walked up to Rebecca and gave her a hug. We all thought it was great, and Rebecca was so thrilled!

After the last parade float had gone by, they were headed toward the Parkstrip, where the food was, so we followed and unofficially became a part of the parade. We had hot dogs, gyros and a funnel cake. Then it started to rain.

We left there and I took the girls to the Alaska Railroad Station. While we were there, Kevin called. We talked for a little bit, and then we got on the subject of benchmarks, and Kevin went looking on line for where we were on an online map. Not only were there three Tidal Benchmarks on the Railroad Building, but there was also a Geocache nearby. I didn't have the GPS, so Kevin read me the cache page, and I was able to locate it. Neat! (Read our Geocache Log here.)

One of the reference point benchmarks was on the front of the building, but the other two were on the track side of the depot (where you are not allowed to go if you are not a passenger), so we couldn't get to them. I asked the lady behind the ticket counter if we could go out there to take pictures, and she was given permission by Security to "escort" us out there. Ironically, even with Kevin giving me the description of where it was in my earpiece, the Alaska Railroad lady was the one to find it first. Neat. We took a few photos and then left the station.

We drove up through town, and as I was turning onto C Street, my phone rang and it was Kevin. He asked it we were still at the train depot. I said no and told him I was at 9th and C. "Stop right there!" Kevin yelled. "That's exactly where I need you to be!" Miraculously there were no other cars on the road at that moment, so I was able to turn over two lanes of road into a parking lot. Kevin told us that there was THE original Anchorage benchmark across the street, and it was also a virtual cache. We went over and found it and took some pictures that then we headed home.

As we drove, I decided that I was going to give a cache I had tried twice before another shot. I had figured out what the cache was on the first try, but I had had no luck getting it out. This time it was backwards, so I knew I was looking for the right thing and grabbed it. Don't twist. . .PULL! Anyway, I called Kevin from the car and told him I had found another cache. He was surprised, but thought it was great!

Every Fourth of July, we spend time together as a family geocaching. So, it was really wonderful that we got to geocache together, even if we were over 2000 miles apart.

When we got home we had baby back ribs (I have a great recipie for when I get home) for dinner and s'mores for desert. (Katrina - "Mama, my sticky!") We did some sparklers on the back porch and then we headed out to see the fireworks. The fireworks show began at 11:35pm and even when it ended the sun had not gone down. It was a fun day!

Museum and the front lawn

It's past midnight, and I am still up, so even though the time stamp on the blog will say Wednesday, I am going to proceed as though it is still Tuesday, since it still feels that way to me.

This morning the Rock Gods showed back up to continue working on the front lawn. Today they started to dig up all the top few inches of dirt at the front of the lawn. This also meant a lot of roots. They used the digger and pulled most of them out, cleared the area and then brought in the topsoil.

In the meantime, Jordan, Isabel and Ivy came over and we all worked at finishing making the banana ice cream, and making ground beef. Each of the girls got a turn at turning the paddle on the ice cream maker and then they each got a turn at pulsing the food processor to grind up the steak that Herb had cut up. They all had a great time helping.

After that was finished, I took Amanda, Rebecca and Katrina to the Anchorage Museum and we spent a few hours there looking at all the exhibits. We started in the Alaska Gallery. Amanda really liked all of the dioramas, after having made a few herself. Rebecca liked the statues of the animals, especially the musk ox at the entrance to the gallery. And, Katrina liked climbing in and out of the stroller over and over, and taking off her shoes and socks, and asking for fruit snacks.

It is nice to have the girls old enough to begin to understand and relate to some of the things that they are seeing in the museum. Amanda got very excited when she saw all the things about the gold rush and began to tell us all about the things that we were seeing and what they were used for. Rebecca asked a lot of questions about what things were and what they were made of.

We went downstairs and looked at the paintings and then looked at the new exhibit which was contemporary art by native americans. Then we went into the Children's Gallery and the girls had a lot of fun playing in there. Katrina was well past her nap and was on the verge of a meltdown, so we left.

By the time we got home, the Rock Gods had filled in top soil, rocks, mulch and had completely cleared all the dirt and roots from where the sod was going to go at the front of the lawn.

Later in the afternoon, Jordan brought Isabel and Ivy back over and we had a little tea party under the fairy bower on the back porch. They had mini Oreos and apple juice "tea", and then we had the banana ice cream. That was absolutely delicious! Yum!

The Rock Gods will be back on Thursday to plant all the flowers, ferns, etc. The front yard looks really great already! It is going to be amazing!
