4th of July

We started out our day with the scout breakfast in Dietrich, then off to the three on three tournament, home for a nap and then a BBQ & fireworks!  I am thankful to live in a free country. I love that we had such inspired men to write our Constitution and do all they could to keep us free. Thank you to those men and women who still are out there fighting to protect that freedom.

Porter, Jake Smith, and Kade Shaw

One day Porter was going to a summer ball tournament and forgot his phone so I gave him mine for the day...I got it back and had all these pictures saved as my screen saver & locked screen!

Twin Falls, Idaho temple

I love this place and love going there even more! I am so thankful that we have a temple so close! I love that our kids can go, Aleigha is always asking when she can go in the temple:)

One day ...for time and all ETERNITY

Porter's Birthday

cookies and milk before presents:) I still had to make the cake...the next day, I am not a great birthday mom!

 

 

We got him a couple new shorts and shirts for his b-day!

 

 

He loved that it was a Lebron shirt (I had no idea)

Grandma & Grandpa gave him this camo jacket...he loved it, it is just like the Duck Dynasty boys:)

 

I really did make him a cake:)

Teresa giving me a foot massage:)

Kristy combing my hair...it looks like I was always getting special treatment...I don't remember it that way:)

Cleaning very hard after the Utah girls left us!

 

Playing games and posing for pictures...I don't have video of the Adam's family game-dang it!

a few more pictures!

11 year old scout camp

June 21-22nd at Heyspur fish hatchery...the boys had a great time! Kegan Telford, Kyler, & Raygn are my three boys! The stake did a great job putting it together! They got to make their own rope-the boys LOVED that, learn about plants, compassing, CPR and 1st aid, chip & tote, and never stopped eating!!

Scenes from my yard

I went for a walk and decided to take a few pictures for Paul and Becky who are in Arizona on their mission. Here is the grain with a beautiful sunset!

another grain picture with our house off to the left!  (this was back in June)

Dirk's Birthday

We like to make sign's for each other on their birthday...not usually NBA players but Addie even made Dirk a cake and frosted it blue! Go Mavricks!! 

 

 

24th of July celebration in Utah

We were in Spanish Fork over the 24th and got to witness what it would have been like to see the 2000 stripling warriors!! It was very powerful, they had the army of Helaman playing in the back ground. I will try to upload the video I have as well!

In front is Captian Moroni & Helaman

The banner says -we do not doubt

Each ward had a sign in a stick stating what ward/stake they were from!!

There was so many of them, what a powerful tool!!

Then they had the missionaries following behind! There is Kasia, Aleigha, & Allie sitting on the road:)

You can see how far down the road they went!!

Porter the mighty...

This was so funny Porter was walking around with Rockwells plastic bat in his shirt telling us how if he was fighting someone how he would do it!! I have to remind myself that when you are 15 you can do ANYTHING!! Even if it makes no sense at all to anyone else:)
