Release the ANIMALS! (Halfway to Flaming Gorge)

Remember those Summer Nights!

We had such a great time this summer with our Family home evening group!

My cup

Everyone has heard the saying "Is your cup half empty? or Is your cup half full?"

I'll tell you what my cup has runneth over today! I had the opportunity to attend 5th Sunday lesson that was taught by our bishopric. The topic was Joy or Despair? It was a great discusson. Damon is a good friend, and someone I look up to as a role model. He always says he is nervous, but always comes across so confident. One of his favorite quotes from his lesson today , if I remember it right "If you don't like your lot in life, build a service station on it." I love it!!!!! Anyway it was a great day, and I was deeply touched.

For mature audiences only. Pictures of the dead.

At the end of the day, this is what we encountered.

In mid sentence and then out.

The shower photos.

The shower photos after a day at the beach.

It was great entertainment watching them trying to get all the sand out of small crevasses.

Sand or no sand that is the question?

Autotopia. I think?

Hello we get our own drivers licences.

This was it he had his licence and off we went.

A little rockie in places back and forth, nothing a little pepto can fix.

Eleven years, Eleven years. All in good time, I guess driving comes with age.

We laughed so hard, he said next time maybe you should drive mom. What a moment for him to be so proud that he accomplished his first driving lesson.

AAAhhhh the autographs!

Pluto tried to run it was rather cute. The kids loved to follow him.

Donald had a war going on saying he was #1.

This is my favorite picture. Chip and Dale raced to see who could write their name faster. I don't recall who won, instead they messed Shelby's hair up. The kids just soaked it up.

Mickey aahhhh Mikey need I say more!

Derrick was a kid on Christmas morning. He was done. He carried that autograph book tall and proud.

Patiently waiting for the parade!

Seeing their faces as we waited for the parade was almost overwhelming . My heart was filled with joy knowing we as parents made this possible. Their face tells all. What they must feel? I remember this moment in my life and I am so happy to have made it possible for my kids.
