Gratitude

I just thought I'd take a minute to be grateful for all that I have and all I've experienced throughout my life. I'm so indebted to my family and all they do for me. My Husband is such an amazing person, I love that I get to spend my life and eternity with him and our beautiful kids. Also thank you to my friends, you are such a great strength to me and help me balance my daily life with wonderful new perspectives and support. I am so thankful to my Father in Heaven for blessing me so richly. The world is a wonderful place and I'm grateful to be in it.

Fun With Boys

This was a project that Reese and his friend Danny decided to embark on. Create your own sweet camo gear. It was great, they were busy out in the front yard for four hours, literally! They had a few episodes with trial and error and used two entire rolls of scotch tape before starting all over with the stronger, more efficient packing tape.
Reese is always talking about being a scientist and all the inventions he's going to come up with.. we thought this was a pretty cute one.
They finally got the result they were looking for, way to go boys! Good job sticking with it!



Reese, covertly maneuvering "operation camo"...

Keep it up little buddy, you're already a great scientist!

Summer, Summer, Summertime...

Feelin' cocky before the plunge, do I have a couple of hams or what?
There's the face I was expecting....
relaxing in the hot tub, Reese's floaties from the big jump still in tact... he does know how to swim but just wanted that security blanket for jumping...

Pool buddies


Lost a tooth!!
There was considerable worry and discussion as to whether or not the tooth fairy could find us in St. George...

With Grandma Mary and Grandpa Tony, aren't they the cutest?
(the kids aren't too bad either...)

Nothing like palm trees..
