Wildflower-a-palooza!!!

Hit the Albion Basin (Cecret Lake) this week. Unbelievable beauty. We kept talking about how awesome it is to live in Utah and how we wouldn't rather live anywhere than right here and how people travel across the country to see this sight and here it is in our own backyard. I LOVE UTAH THE GREATEST PLACE ANYWHERE. (Ya, so I've never lived anywhere else but I don't think I'd want to... I've travelled around a bit and nowhere compares to the diversity and natural wonders of Utah.)




What kind of mother lets her kid try to catch "dinosaur lizard fishes" in the freezing mountain lake? haha

Why I hate ward softball...

Steve tore his hamstring at ward softball the other night. The dude doesn't know how to play with anything less than 110%. And there's just something about ward softball that doesn't agree w/Steve. A few years ago he broke his ankle/tore ligaments at ward softball! So thats it! I'm exerting my wifely authority (BAH!) and no more softball for Steve-o. It's messing up all my summer plans... :( poor me. haha j/k

Fun hiking sans Steve...

I could never count all of the blessings that have come into my life from that one best decision to marry Steve 15 years ago, but one of my favorites is the blessing of getting to go to Lake Powell every summer with his wonderful family. We always have such a great trip together and there's just something special about that place. It remains my favorite place on earth.





Fave discussion with Wyatt lately:
After a Primary sharing time about the Holy Ghost
Wyatt: "Ya know how you're more into the church than Dad?"
Me: "What?"
Wyatt: "Ya know how you are more into the church than Dad?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Wyatt: "Well remember when I faked that I was sick so I could stay home from church and Dad stayed with me so he could watch football?"
Me: "Ok"
Wyatt: "I wanted to do it again the next week, but I think the Holy Ghost told me that it wouldn't be a good choice."

Funny to get a glimpse into the mind of a 7 year old. Hahaha
