"Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit."
- Richard G. Scott
MY BROTHERS
"When suffering, we may in fact be nearer to God, than we have been in our entire lives. That knowledge can turn every such situation into a would-be temple. Regarding our earthly journey, the Lord has promised: "I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left. My spirit shall be in your hearts and mine angels round about you to bear you up. That is an everlasting declaration of God's love and care for us and perhaps especially in times of trouble."
We went camping this year while Isaac was off track in August. We had a blast. We went with our friends the Ketcham's. It was really fun to be in nature and enjoying each other's company. It's so nice to have good friends that you can do fun things with. The men also took time to be able to go bow hunting. Neither of them got anything but saw a lot of elk and enjoyed being out in the moutains. I am so thankful that all my kids love to go camping. We were able to borrow my aunt and uncles pop-up trailer which made it like a home away from home. Thanks David and Paula for letting us live the high life in the mountains. While we were camping Mandy and I took the kids on a nature hike. We collected leaves, berries, sticks, rocks, anything that the kids thought looked interesting. We were half way through our nature hike (we hadn't made it very far from camp) the men came back for meal time and were able to join us with the kids. We went back to camp and used the leaves and things as stamps and made pictures with paint. The kids had a really great time and the pictures turned out great!!
Our family consists of us (Reed and I) and three adorable children. Our oldes Isaac is a ball of fun and energy. He started Kindergarten and absolutely loves learning. Abbie is second and is our little darling girl. She is smart and is always keeping us on our toes. Kaden is our baby even though he is no longer a baby. Our baby is two and is growing up before our eyes. We love doing everything fun and like to try a new adventures. The kids love the outdoors and everything that goes with it. We hope you find this blog entertaining and hope that our family and friends are able to keep up on our lives even though time may not permit that we get together as often as we would like. So, Enjoy!!
