We had a ton of fun exploring the little
grove of trees they have there....until we got
attacked by mosquitoes and Zack got attacked
by allergies!!!
All in all it was a fun day though!!
Enjoy the photos!!

STARS
Perhaps they are not
stars in the sky,
but rather openings
where our loved ones
shine down
to let us know they
are happy.




After Glow
I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done,
I’d like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing
times and bright and
summer days.
I’d like the tears of those who
grieve, to dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.



As We Look Back
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.

Randomness....

We couldn't help but give this
silly little monkey some Ice cream
one night while on an outing
with Sherida and her kids.
Isaac LOVED it...as you can plainly
see below!!!

Kaydee did Awesom Tuesday in
her Program called
"Utah...This is the place!!"
She has always has l0ved
performing in front of others..
so she did exceptionally well
in her parts!
We were so proud of her!!!


Then..... there's Levi.
After tonight's bath, I was searching
through some clothes to find his
favorite P.J's...
walked in his room to find him sitting
on his bed watching TV.....
Still stark naked....with his Helmet on.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS
(i guess)
