Swimming Fun and The 4th of July

-

July brought a record heat wave so we made the best of all that beautiful sunshine and heat to hang at the pool.  Owen and John took swim lessons, the rest of us took relaxation lessons, and we even got to invite Barra cousins and a friend to play at the Farmington City pool with us too.  We couldn't think of a better way to beat the summer time heat than an afternoon of swimming fun. 


And of course it wouldn't be July without 4th of July fireworks!  Dustin and the boys had WAAAYYY too much fun buying and launching fireworks on July 4th and July 24th (Utah Pioneer Day) at Grandma P's house.  We had a fun time celebrating America with fire!









Big Boy train engine went through town on the 4th to help Morgan celebrate the opening of the new historical society building.  Xavier played with the high school band during the parade and for the arrival of Big Boy.  It was pretty exciting stuff!




I helped the Morgan Elementary School PTO run games for the community at the fair grounds.  It was fun to help everyone celebrate a fantastic 4th of July.

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:
