Wow!! What a crazy month it has been...July 4th we had all of our kids!!! Yes all of them. I was great!!! Annikan & Mike came with their little girls (grandpas a sucker for when the say Grandpaaaa) Alexis is getting so big, Kamree is having fun with us, she really likes to ride in the old car (Thanks again Dad). And Shelby she is getting to be soo cute and fun. Amber and Kelly were here with Mckoy. Those three were down in St. George for a a few days with Amber being the JV Soccer coach, Kelly & Mckoy just enjoyed the sun and pool. Jeremy came over for Mckoys birthday party in the park and then came out to play volleyball and dinner. It was GREAT!!! Having the 3 kids home was a blast. They played volleyball while grandma tended the kids. We ate, played in the water and played and played. Then later that night Skyler & Brandon treated us to a fireworks show. Misty and Chey were there with their kids. The only down side was that Mom lost her camera somewhere (I think someone has it and just doesn't realize it. Too many diaper bags floating around here...)
So that was July 4th weekend. This past weekend Sandra and I went camping on our own. We grabbed some food and loaded the camper and away we went. We found a spot to camp on our third try and it was perfect. We just camped and enjoyed Gods country. We talked and walked, sat around and talked. It was very relaxing.
Today, Tuesday the 14th Sandra is at Girls Camp. I am loading up to go to Scout camp for 2 days. Sandra gets back late Wednesday. Then on Thursday she goes to Kylies(spelling) Wedding in Bountiful. Friday to Vernal for the Reception and Saturday return home. (Kylie I am so sorry I missed it).
The weekend of the 24th Sandra and I go camping again. This time up past Rexburg.
Time with the kids is Great, time with the Grandkids is even better, time with my wife is priceless (to steal a line)....But I love all my kids, always will and always have.
I think it is great that Amber and Kelly live here in Preston. I love having them here. I do not get to see the others often enough.
Remember to enjoy life, sometimes I forget & I'll see a picture of my mom and she reminds me to use my words and say " I love you" to those whom I do. Some will listen other won't, but I do, I love you guys. Thanks for being in my life. 12 years ago God put you in my path and since then my path has been "Glorious"...Thanks

MARRIAGE
"...the most important single thing that any Latter-day Saint ever does in this world is to marry the right person in the right place by the right authority."
--Bruce R. McConkie
"While marriage is difficult, and discordant, and frustrating, marriages are common, yet real, lasting happiness is possible, and marriage can be more and exultant ecstasy than the human mind can conceive. This is within the reach of every couple, every person."
-- Spencer W. Kimball
"The most popular--and the roughest--contact sport in the country is not professional football; it is marriage. Consider the statistics: over 90% of us try our hand at it, either ignoring the dangers or simply hoping for the best. A third of us, however, sustain so many injuries that we are willing to suffer the humiliation of divorce to get off the field. Yet the promis, the attractiveness, is so great that 80% of those divorced put themselves back into the marriage game--most of them within 3 years. Clearly the problem isnot how to make matrimony more popular; it's how to make it less hazardous."
--Carlfed Broderick
I found these quotes today on a blog and I just love them. They are so true. They really make you think especially after the wild weekend we had on the Fourth of July. I love my parents for the example they set for me in marriage. I am so sorry that it took me so long to make the right choice for my marriage. I am so proud of my girls for the choices in their eternal partners. They make me so proud. I am eternally grateful for Rob and the marriage we have now. Boy....... it took a while to get there!!!!!! This past year has made me closer to Rob than I ever thought I could be. Thanks hon..... I love you forever.
