The outdoors

I do struggle at times with missing the beautiful mountains of Teton Valley, but I also know that life is what you make of it so even though we have to drive a distance to enjoy the mountain every weekend we try to spend our whole Saturday enjoying the outdoors.  This Saturday Grandma and Grandpa Dalley invited us to go four wheeling.  It was a beautiful ride, so hot but luckily we were so high that the wind blew the whole time keeping us a little bit cooler.  We all had a great day.

Girls Camp

My baby attended her first girls camp this year.  It was tough for me to let her go.  I think I stressed her out with the constant reminders to brush her teeth her hair, not to chew with her mouth open ect..  I know a little crazy but I felt so helpless not to be their.  In the end I was grateful I did not go with her though, she needed to go and have experiences without me there.  I wanted her to go and to feel the spirit and have her recognize it, not me pointing it out to her.
She had amazing leaders and women that went with her.  So Grateful to those who sacrifice so much of there time to help.

The best part was her birthday was on Wednesday while she was there and they let us come up and bring a cake to her.   It was fun to surprise her.  It was also comforting to see that she was OK and and having a good time.  One of the older girls even made a Pinata. 

I am back!

I have negected our family blog for too long.  I stopped writing because I got nervous about some creepers, then I did not write because I was super busy, then I became super lazy, it happens.
I have made a goal to try and write again on Sundays.  I figure this is great way to remember all those small moments that my little brain has a hard time remembering.
A lot has happened since our last post, the biggest being our move back to Utah.  Yes we moved back.  I swore when I was younger I would never live here I swore when we moved I would never come back......  we are back.
One of the many reasons I decided to write again in the blog is because when I blogged I was very good about taking picture to blog about, since we have moved I locked my camera up and have not even tried to take pictures.  This will be good for me to start taking pictures again because I know that someday I will look back and be sad at the moments that I forgot to document.

Sam is now 11 but turning 12 on Wednesday.  She is getting ready for girls camp this week.  I am so sad I have always had some calling in Girls camp/YW and the first year one of my kids are going I do not.  It is best though that she goes and experiances it without her mother her first year. 
Lexi is 9 and full of a ton of life and silliness.  She loves to make people laugh, she has a big heart and a big smile.
Josh is 4 turning 5 in a week.  He has a ton of energy a love for farming and tractors.  We have to have at least one conversation a day that revoloves around tractors.  He is continously teaching me to have patience.  I work very hard on it!
Steve is now with Partner Fusion.  He loves this job so much and I am so happy for him.  He loves the people he works with he loves what he does and he goes home every day with a big smile.  That make me happy.
