Rylie's personal progress quilt.

Rylie started her quilt for personal progress. She is so excited. The only problem is she is so busy with school, homework and now cheering for Liahona. She is very busy and hasn't had much time to work on it. We are hoping this Friday to get a lot done. Will post pictures when done.

My dear friend Rachael

We had a ton of weeds this summer. I thought how are we going to get it all done. We work one Saturday all day. We had a swim, pizza party afterward. Then we had to hire the rest out. Wow I hope we keep up on the weeds and never have to do this again.

Carlie cheering.

Cute kids!

We went and watch Carlie cheer for Orem on Friday. Jessie and Jason came. Orem played a team from Raymond Canada. Wired. But we won. Fun night.

Avery, Boston and McCoy.

We were blessed to watch these beautiful kids while Jill and Jarom went to the temple the other night. No pictures of Avey she was busy watching a movie. So much fun. Thank Jill!

Count your many blessing!

Our water feature in the back yard.

I have had a great experience for about a month. With all the trial and hardship all around us I thought I would try and look at all the good and great things in life; to focus on my blessings. Well I have really enjoyed life a lot more lately. I am much more happy and find joy in the little things. I find that I have more faith in my God and trust in His great plan, and that it is more about God's will and not mine. I find that I smile more, hope more and enjoy more. I am truly grateful for the power of gratitude.

Going to the cabin for the weekend. Yay!!! Judy and her family will be coming! See you in a few days.
