Pondering......

Well life I guess is always the same, bad always comes with the good. I continually have to stop and remind myself to count all my blessings. Through work and family lately I seem to continually meet negative people and it's made me all the more appreciative of what I have at home, and what really matters. Life is full of obstacles that are negative, family is always there to lift you up and I think that satan is continually out there trying to tear families apart. In the end FAMILIES ALWAYS STICK TOGETHER. That is why the church if focused on family time and love. It is the one thing you can count on to bring you joy and happiness. Time and time again I have seen people struggle and it's because they have turned away from their families. If we remember the carefree days when we were younger, and that love that can be found in the home, we will always find happiness.

Bear Lake 2010

I had only driven by Bear Lake once so I was so excited when we planned a trip there.
It is such a beautiful place.
The kids really enjoyed the beach. There wasn't a day that
we didn't find sand in mouths, food, diapers, and about everything else.

It was really nice just getting away and enjoying the sun!

During Raspberry days there is a craft fair and the kids were wanting to play on the bouncers. We decided to leave it up to the guys. Well the owner thought it would be fun the let the men race. I think they had a blast, but they both were limping
around for the next day.

Raspberry Days Parade

In the condo Brigs and his cousins loved playing peek a boo. The boys had so much fun together, and I think we are all going to have our hands full in the next couple years!!

Turning One

Brig's turned 1 on August 1, but we celebrated July 31.

We had lots of fun, even though Brigston wasn't too sure about what was going on.

He usually is a big eater so I was so excited about letting him have his own cake. He wasn't interested at all. He was playing in it but would spit it out every time we put some in his mouth.

We ended up going to Gardener's Village after the park and went to the petting zoo. The kids had a lot of fun. They all even enjoyed the pony rides.I really didn't know how I would react to my baby turning one, but things went pretty well. I love the fact that he is getting big because he is so much fun. We are seeing new things on a daily basis now and I'm just anxious to see what Brig's loves next.
