PRESIDENTS DAY HIKE


At the start of the hike
 We went on a different trail and Kai started rock climbing on his own!!!

 Cute boys!!

 They are so cute with their camelbacks!!!


 AJ took Rowan all the way to the top!!!!

*update on my goal of no games on my phone*
So far so good.  Its been hard because I have been sick and the kids were crazy this week. But I have been more productive (other than getting lost in my books).

Almost 2 years since I have posted on this blog.  The ability to post my pictures so easily on Facebook and feeling like my blog posts were not as well worded as many of my friends blogs made it easy to stop.  But I know that the only way to get better at things is to practice.  So, whether my post are well worded or not, boring or not, silly or serious, I will post weekly.  I have an amazing family to tell all my family and friends about. And I am trying to use facebook less and this will help.
One of my good friends has set the example for me of doing what she calls "Mormon Lent".  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints does not usually practice lent. In fact, I know very little about it except that you are supposed to give up something until Easter.  So, I am giving up my phone games.  Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE my silly, mindless games.  I will replace this time with reading scriptures, being better at playing with my kids, and updating this blog.
I will leave you with this picture of my amazing family!!
