Father bonding time

Adams mom needed some work done on her house so Adam took the boys to Mapleton to help do the repairs.

After the work came play.  The boys went fishing for several hours in Hobble Creek.

Island Park 2019

The kids are growing up and getting to be really independent with their off road vehicles.

Cabin

We purchased a lot in Island Park this past winter.  We are building a cabin.  We aren't sure if it will be a cabin that we rent out for short term rentals or if we will turn around and sell it immediately after it is build, it will all depend on the market.  In the mean time we get to spend lots of time together working and playing.

Beauty

Every year as I ride through Island Park it takes my breathe away to see the beauty around us.

I feel so humble and grateful that the Lord has given me this opportunity to spend time with my family in such a beautiful place.  It is wonderful being together and enjoying time as a family.

I don't know if it is just me or if it is the opposite in all things but 10 years ago my life wasn't what I had planned.  Everything happening seemed to be out of my control and each day was a struggle.  We had no money, many health problems, and a lot of struggles.  I thank the Lord every day to be where we are today.  (Obviously life isn't perfect and there are always struggles) ...

But Im so thankful my Husband has a job that can take care of our family and provide enough for us to do fun things together as a family.  Im eternally indebted for the atonement and its healing powers in my life.

Im thankful for my children and their health and strength.  Im thankful for a healthy body that allows me to be with my children.  After many years in pain, in bed or sick I am so grateful for the medical procedures that have given me freedom and joy.

Im thankful for the strength that has risen from our weakness'.

I would like to say I would feel this blessed and thankful without the struggles we suffered years ago but I don't know.  I do know that everyday I am thankful for all the Lord has blessed me with and I never forget that it is all from Him.

Summer 2019

I have been putting entries into my blog all summer but I saved them in my draft box until I finished writing on each one.  Now I have a ton of entries to posts so this will be a land slide of information.
The beginning of July brought our annual trip to Island Park.  This year was a little different.  Instead of renting a cabin we have purchased an older bumper pull trailer.
I recovered the couch/ kitchen table benches/ windows and I made curtains.  Its been a fun trailer and I like glamping much more than camping.

Thankfully we had another wonderful week in island park and everyone was safe and had fun.







I prepared most of our food ahead of time so we had some great meals over the fire and in dutch ovens.

This year some squirrels ended up making a nest inside of Adams truck!  He had to rip off his dash board to find the nest, and a dead squirrel.
