Watch out Neighbors!

So, for awhile now Aaron has been working on this old go-kart that my

brother brought over.

Yesterday, he finally had it tweeked enought to let the kids try it out.

Well, I guess this is ONE way to keep them from sitting in front of the

television/computer/Wii all day!

Playing at the Hot Springs

We had a great time, and believe it or not, all "three boys" went down the steep and scary slide....even Enoch, who thought it was a blast. Sam only went down because he didn't want to be outdone by the younger sibling. Fun Times!

Wheat and Beet Days Parade

This is the second year that Shenna has marched with the Bear River High School Band in the annual Wheat and Beet Days Parade. This year, however, the entire family was able to be there to watch, and I ran by and got some pictures. She is the closest one on the first row. The first row is all the flutes.



It is a nice, relaxed parade to do before all the competitions begin.

Changes

Change.

Not my favorite word.
I've come to realize that the words LIFE and CHANGE are the same.

With Dad passing away on July 22, change happened.
I don't like change.

In trying to comfort my kids (and myself), I've talked and thought alot about what a wonderful time he is having.
Seeing so many people that he hasn't seen in so long.
Meeting all those new people he has never met.

I find comfort in words penned by Penelope Moody Allen.

Come home, loved voices call.
Come home where you belong.
Come home to live in joy
Forever in our family throng.

I'm sure the throng of family were so anxious to see him again.
but,
we are a throng of family here.

Does he miss us? Does he miss me?

I know one thing.

I'll never stop missing him.
