"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

Slip N Slide

Josh brought home a huge orange tarp and built the kids a homemade slip n slide with water and soap! This was a huge hit at our house, the kids loved this and they played on it for hours. It was so fun to watch them laugh and slide down the slide. Josh took pictures with his phone and I took pictures with my camera we were loving it! We love fun summer days like this. The kids will never forget their Dad’s homemade slide.

Cast off

Kynzee finally got her cast off yahoo!! That’s stinky nasty cast has caused a lot of problems for Kynzee’s summer activities and we were so happy to see it off. Her arm healed up nicely and looked great. She is so excited to be able to swim without having to wrap her cast up first!

Silly Kids

I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard in my life as I did when I saw this come up the stairs. This is Maddy with Jaxon on top her her in their Dad’s clothes! The things my kids come up with!! This was so funny to watch as they walked around the house. They were all just in a silly silly mood this day. There is never a dull moment at my house with kids around.

Our 6 acres of corn is growing so nicely and so fast it has been so fun to watch this field transform. We have had a raccoon in our field so Josh had a friend of his come and trap him for us. This has been a really fun summer project for our family and we cant wait for it to be all grown and ready to eat.

Going to Grandma's

We took the kids to go visit my Grandma Pasley in Palisades. The kids always love to go see Grandma and she has fun little toys and things on her shelf that they like to play with. Raegan took everything off of Grandma’s tables and then we put them all back on at least 5 times!! My Grandma is always so happy to see us when we stop by, I need to go visit her more often.

Alpine Park

After going swimming at Granite Hot Springs we decided to stop at Alpine park on our way home and let the kids stretch their legs and play. The kids love this park! It looks like a park for adults because all the toys are HUGE! The kids loved this! We ordered pizza and salad and ate dinner in the park it was so relaxing and quiet and fun! Summer evenings like this are the best, no wind…just calm and warm and beautiful…love it!
