Summer Fun

This has been a very fun summer. I have been so busy that I haven't taken much time to update our blog. We have had some fun reunions and family vacations as well as all the fun we have had showing at the fairs. Cora decided to show her miniature horse at the Weber County Fair and did great, winning 3 first place ribbons. Cassidy and Cora also showed 4-H calves at the Franklin County Fair. Cassidy did great in showmanship and her calf won 3rd place overall in the show. She was also able to show her 4-H pig and had a great time. David and the kids also took a few days and went riding in the Uintas. They spent time fishing and riding and playing in the water. It was great for them to have some time together without mom and I had a good weekend with my good friend on our spur of the moment road trip. We are so blessed to be able to have these fun times and make memories that will last forever.

Happy Birthday Cora

Happy 11th Birthday Cora.( I know I'm late!)  We are so happy that you were sent to our family.  You always make us laugh and are such a peacemaker in our home.  We love you.

This was an awesome (but very hot) night.  It wasn't nearly as emotional as I thought it would be.  I didn't   even need my kleenex. We are so proud of you Josh.

One year ago today we lost you.  We are thankful for the things that you taught us and the love that you gave us.  We feel you with us whenever the kids have a concert or performance.  That was such a big part of your life and we loved that you supported us all in everything that we did.  The kids miss the cookies and treats that you always had for them when they came to visit.  They miss their Halloween sacks and how you had us open presents from the youngest to the oldest at Christmas time.  The "Kids Store" at the reunion just isn't the same without you.  You were such an important part of our lives.  We know that you are always watching over us.  We love you and miss you.

Happy Birthday Cassidy.

It is so hard to believe that you will be 12 years old this week.  The time has gone by so quickly.  We are so proud of the beautiful young woman that you have become, both inside and out.  We love your sense of humor and your beautiful smile.  We are so happy that you were sent to our home.  We love you.  Have a happy birthday!
