About Us.

Hi, we're the Eastmonds. Rob, Amy, James, Elli, Emma, and Jake. We love to work together, play together, and just be family together. We are beginning a new adventure. We are moving from the city life to the country life, and are anxious to share our experiences along the way. We will be learning how to be more self sufficient through gardening efforts, raising animals, and trying new energy sources while becoming more green. We love our world, and want to be able to use it better and safer as it has been given to us from our Heavenly Father. We are very blessed because of our beliefs in our savior Jesus Christ. We hope you enjoy our blog, and hope to hear from you again!

TREK- June

I've always wanted to go on trek as a ma with Rob. This year, I got to go with Rob and James. It was truly amazing. What an experience. We honor our pioneers! They were such great examples of faith and devotion to a righteous cause. Freedom to worship and reach Zion, that they may fully partake of the temple covenants.
The company getting ready for the big day. The 1st day, we walked about 5 miles and the 2nd day we walked about 10 miles. It was long and hard, but so worth it. I was blessed to be able to go and do it, even though I had a torn meniscus.


The company all lined up and ready to go.


Our cart and our pioneer kids. We had 4 boys and 3 girls. Good kids. We had a good time.


Rob and some of the men, trying to relive what it must have been like crossing chest high water, against the current, in the middle of the winter. We had it easy in the summer.


One of the breaks. James playing the harmonica. It was fun to see him periodically throughout the trek. He had a good family!
James dancing. One night, we had lots of dancing and learning different country dances.


More dancing. All in all, everyone had a good time. It was hard, but an amazing spritual experience. So glad we could go. Hopefully we can go again with all our kids.
