It's Not What You Think

It has been several months since I blogged. Wow, that sounds weird for me! Other than my poetry, I usually don't just write on my blog I always have pictures. Often to many pictures. However, I am now going to try and catch up on everything.

Chad began his sophomore year at Snow College at the end of July. He is the punter on the football team again this season. My baby boy also turned 20 on September 26th. It's funny that no matter how old your kids get you still refer to them by their birth position in the family. Kevin also celebrated his birthday. He turned 25 in August. He celebrated with his friends this year. It was a weird change for the rest of the family.

We have gone camping and riding in the Manti La Sal Forest above Ephraim Utah. It was strange to only have two of the kids on that trip. We had a really nice Labor Day Weekend. In September Mike and I invited Cynthia Walker and Matt & Karla Berhold to go to the San Juan ATV Safari in Blanding Utah. It was really fun and we stayed in a hotel so that made life easier. We were able to see alot of the beautiful South Eastern part of Utah. The indian ruins were amazing to see.  We also met some really great people from the area.

We had some family and friends have some scarey surgeries. Everyone is doing well now but we spent alot of time on our knees in prayer for them.

These are just a few of the  links in the chain that is our life. They are held together by the every day activities and responsibilties we all have. I'm grateful for all the blessings I have that make the trials in life worth it!

Sorry no picture today!
