Quotable Quote


" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

Camping Trip #2

For our second camping trip we decided to dry camp up Payson Canyon. Since Jackie is about to have her baby we knew this was our last camping trip with them for the year. Boo hoo! We stayed for 3 nights and it was SO nice to be up in nature. Annie and her family came up to join us one evening for dinner and Grandpa and Grandma Gene came up another night. I love time spent with family like this. It's always so fun to watch the kids play together and be able to get in some adult conversation. I'm so grateful that God has given us this beautiful earth to enjoy. 
Utah is so diverse geographically and I love it so much!

Happy campers! Mom only buys sugar cereal for camping and Christmas morning.
They get too much sugar without eating sugar cereal too!

Camping Trip #1

It has taken me forever to post mainly because our computer has been acting stupid and not allowing me to post pictures. What is a blog post without pictures?? We went camping with Jackie and Christina and their families up Nephi Canyon at Big Mountain Resort. Course it wasn't truly camping with a pool but all of the kids had a fantastic time and so did we. We laughed until we literally peed our pants. Well one of us anyway and I won't mention names. You know who you are. They were having an activity for kids up the canyon that weekend and our kids got to practice shooting muzzleloaders, rifles, bow and arrow and rock climbing xcetera. I'm so grateful for these fun adventures especially in the beauty of nature with my family.
