"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Camping at Fall Creek

We went camping with our friends for the weekend and we had a blast! Seriously we had so much fun and so did the kids. I laughed so hard at times I think I worked more stomach muscles than I knew I had. Our kids played so hard with their cute little friends and they got along so well with each other it was wonderful. We love to play and have fun with friends!!! We had a beautiful weekend except for maybe those pesky mosquitoes (I hate those things)!! This is our weekend full of lots of memories in the hundreds of pictures I took and stole from Rachel’s blog :)

Yard Work

I love yard work!!! It’s just finding the time do work in the yard that is difficult for me these days. It is such a peaceful, stress reliever for me to spend hours in the yard. Every summer I come up with something fun that I want to do in the yard, I don’t always accomplish it and sometimes it takes me two years to accomplish, like this fun project I have been working on. My husband got these beautiful rocks from Bear Lake. He was working on some apartments there a couple years ago and he would bring a few home every time he went. So we made a rock wall out of them and planted some trees and bushes. I love it!! It was a lot of hard work but I love the way it turned out. I had my cute little girls all ready for ballet the other morning and they decided they wanted in on my picture!! Life is so fun!

Fun Summer Days!!

We have all been enjoying this warm sunshine that has finally arrived!! My kids really wanted the pool filled up the other day so that is what we did and it was fun! Fun for them to laugh and play and fun for me to watch them laugh and play. I didn’t realize my three girls were so out numbered by all the neighbor boys until the other day when I told them all to line up so I could take a picture of them. There were a few other boys right before I took the picture and then they disappeared (probably because they saw me coming with the camera)!! I love that summer is so fun for the kids.

Happy Father’s Day

 

The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!

 

On Father’s Day I love to remember back to when I was little and we would all load in the car and go visit both of my Grandpa’s, that was always so much fun for me. I remember making my Dad special cards and pictures and I thought they were just beautiful and I am sure my Dad thought so to. Now that I have my own family I love to look at my children’s Daddy and watch what a good Dad he is to them. It makes me so happy when he takes time out of his busy schedule to be with his kids and it makes them even more happy. They love him so much and they look forward to seeing him every day. Sometimes I wonder if “Daddy” is the only word little Jaxon knows.

Kenna and Jaxon

Jaxon is so lucky to have Kenna as his sister!! She is so sweet and gentle with him. I love to sit and watch her play with him and listen to the things she talks to him about. Even if she does pick him up and put him in her dolly strollers when he doesn’t want her to, I know that she loves him so much.

Happy Birthday to my Mom

My Mom is the greatest!!! She does so much for me and my little family, I don’t know what I would do without her. My kids love Grandma so much and they are always so excited to go to her house. She always has a special treat for them in her cookie jar and they love that!! Grandma has a special room with fun toys in it just for the kids and they have a blast in that room! My Mom has been there for me with every baby I have had and she has been my saving grace on many occasions in my life. Happy Birthday to my Mom , I love you!
