San Diego

La Jolla Beach in sunny San Diego

The water was so very cold. Braden wouldn't even get in and play. He found it more invigorating to rub stinky sea sand all over his body. The girls were a little disappointed that there were not any sea shells to collect. They did have fun chasing the seagulls around the beach though.

When we first got to the beach, this is what I saw out in the distance. JAWS flashbacks!! I wanted to scream at Jon to get the kids out of the water, but everyone else on the beach seemed to be so relaxed about what they saw. Turns out, it was a dolphin. It was pretty cool to watch it jump out of the water as it moved along the shoreline.

A very nice lady at the beach let the girls borrow her boggie board to float around on. Morgan had a blast. I can't say the same for Sydney. She does not like to get her face wet or even be under the water. So after she got dumped, she was done!!

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."
