Last vacation for the summer

What a whirl wind week! I don't think we could have fit one more thing into such a short period of time. Jon's brother Michael was getting married in Logan, Utah this past weekend. Even though school was starting for our kids, we decided to make it a week long vacation. We were going to be seeing most of Jon's family that we haven't seen in over a year. We made our usual favorite stop in Utah county to Taco Amigo for french fries and tostadas.

After getting to Logan, Jon and I took the kids up to campus to buy new Aggie shirts and hats and to take a few family photos on the "A". Pier 49 Pizza serves a GF pizza crust, so we took the kids out to eat with all their cousins. Of course we had to go to Macey's and get an ice cream as well!

It was 10 years ago that Jon and I were standing in this spot at the ampitheater on Old Main Hill at USU. This is where Jon proposed to me. It was so fun to share some of those memories with the kids.

Hans and Laurel said...: I don't know how you did it. Your so fast at blogging all about the trip. I haven't even tried yet. But that is also because I still haven't put Makayla's birthday stuff up too. You guys got some cute pictures. I love the ones with the "A". It sure was fun seeing everyone.; August 19, 2008 at 6:03 PM

Innocence of a child....

Driving along the freeway in Lehi there is a new little amusement park called Liberty Land. They have a very large imitation of Mount Rushmore with the heads of the Presidents of the U.S. Sydney's see's it and says,"Hey, there's the Godhead!"

While passing through Farmington, NM, we saw a car graveyard. The cars were all lined up in rows and rows and more rows. Morgan says, "Hey, are those cars stuck in rush hour traffic?"

While reading how the Nephites and Laminites are always fighting, Sydney says, "How do you fought?"

Thought provoking thoughts...

A.S.A.P

Always Say A Prayer.

Don't count the days,

Make the days count.

Life is not measured by the breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Prayer changes things.

“Don't spend your life with someone you can live with, spend it with someone you can't live without"

"If I had my child to raise all over again, I'd build self esteem first, and the house later. I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off the watch, and watch with my eyes. I'd take more hikes, and fly more kites. I would stop playing serious, and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging."
