Beating the Summertime Heat

-

It's hot out there!  Never fear!  We're finding lots of ways to enjoy these long summer days, beat the hot temperatures, and make fun memories along the way.  

The splash pad has been getting lots of use this summer in the front yard.  It's a great way to cool off on a hot day, enjoy the beautiful garden, and convince neighborhood friends to come over and play.  :) 



Fun hikes/walks at the Ogden Nature Center and the Ogden Botanical Garden are also a fun way to stroll through cool shade covered trails and enjoy the beauties of nature.  
Check out the dragonfly that decided to become friends with Diana!  He stayed on her cute, chubby little foot for several minutes.  It must have been a nice perk for a dragonfly to rest. 



In addition to the splash pad at our house we have taken advantage of the Morgan City splashpad at the park.  It's a wonderful place to cool off and spot friends from school. 


And last but not least, we are doing a state tour of public swimming pools to see how fun they all are!  We just love splashing around in a fun swimming pool for the afternoon.  I love how well everyone sleeps after this activity. :D

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

We Returned to a Blessing

We came home to a HUGE blessing. Our house is still here and didn't sustain much damage. We just have to rebuild a portion of our fence and clean up dead branches and we are good to groove again. We don't have power yet, but I anticipate that it will come online soon. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I know the Lord greatly blessed us on this one. We came home and made sure we gave a prayer of thanks for His mercy on us. We hope we can get out there and start helping folks who didn't fair as well as we did soon. Here are some pictures of our home:
