Geocaching

While we up in Idaho

we found a bunch of Geocaches, so what

better way to contribute to the fun than

to make our own and set them out.

Each of my kids made their own and

found their favorite place about our cabin

and hid it there. They had so much fun.

Cabin #2

The Schreiners invited some families to go to Lake Powell

the end of July and then her dad found a job and we

were unable to go, so since we all had the week off

we packed up and headed North to our Cabin.

The weather was perfect (wish it had rained) the kids

were crazy (as we expected) and we all had a blast!!

It was very very dusty on the 4 wheeler rides.

Mesa Falls

Us girls went to Home School Musical

It was hilarious. Linoleum Dynamite was

there to greet us!!

We tye dyed shirts and socks

Yellowstone

We drove 27 miles on rhinos and 4 wheelers to

West Yellowstone. It was a long tough

ride, but the kids did awesome!!

Thanks Peeps for an awesome trip!!

You rock BC!!

Funeral

Sunday was the viewing for my sweet Grandma.

It was so fun to see all my cousins and relatives

that I haven't seen in a while. We laughed at

the fact that we only see each other at funerals.

I took Peyton and Stockton so they could

experience the whole Funeral thing, and I am glad

I did. They asked lots of questions and luckily

I had my Mom to help me answer them. Stockton asked

where her legs were, so we opened up the casket

to show him. Skee ended up in Idaho for work,

so I did the funeral solo with 4 kids in tow.

Monday morning was the family prayer and graveside.

It was raining like crazy so we did it inside and then

headed over to the dedication of the grave.

It was so beautiful and the kids were so respectful

and well behaved!!

My Dad was so cute with the kids,

telling them how she will be protected from

weather and be kept safe and warm.

I am so thankful for the Gospel and the

fact that I KNOW that we will see her again.

It was sad to see the cousins who don't quite

believe that and how sad they were.

We will miss you Grandma, but I am so

happy that you are with your Eternal Companion

and everyone else that went before you.

Until we meet again.
