Fun in Park City

Warren and I spent last week in Park City. It is nice to get away where daily chores aren't calling your name. Allthough the chores and items are saved up to attend to the moment you get home! We arrived in Park City on Saturday. Jake, Aimee and Helen joined us on Monday. We drove to Mirror Lake on Tuesday midmorning. It was windy and cold. It didn't occur to us to take jackets and such. As we were eating our picnic lunch, Helen expressed her true feelings when she said, "Let's get out of here!".

Couldn't have said it better myself. lol

We enjoyed Thai food Tuesday night on Main Street. Then on Wednesday, Tyler, Ashley, Ryker, and Carter joined us for the rest of the week.

Thursday was a play day of riding rides and enjoying each other's company.

Cutest kids in Park City! Thursday was a full day of fun and sun!

We ate that night at Main Street pizza and Noodle. We have eaten there before when our kids were young.

Ready to go again?

Yes!

"My daddy can throw us so-o-o-o

high!"

"Now.... what did they teach me in swimming lessons?"

What a wonderful vacation!!!

Happy 31st Anniversary!!!!

Today is our wedding anniversary. At times it seems like we are still in our "early years" of marriage and at other times I can't remember life without him. I think back to years that bring tears to my eyes and wonder how we made it through--not our marriage but just living. Warren has been my strength in so many ways--physically, emotionally, mentally, --- everything. I can truly say that I know I would not be alive if I didn't have him by my side. We make a good team. I hope we have 31 more years together on this earth. we have been blessed with 3 wonderful children for which we are grateful. we started out in our marriage wanting 12 children --then it went to 8 --then 6 ---and by the time Tyler arrived we decided that 3 was a great number. What a wonderful life this is because of the blessing of having Warren by my side.

God didn't promise days without pain,

laughter without sorrow,

nor sun without rain.

But he did promise strength for the day,

comfort for the tears,

and light for the way.

My Mom

My Mom and I were able to take a trip up north to Yellowstone the middle of July. It was a nice drive and we had a good time talking. Since she didn't want to get out of the car at Old Faithful--we drove around the parking lot at least 15 times until Old Faithful blew--we pull off the road to the curb and watched. I did convince her to get out of the car long enough for me to take her picture. I have had Mom living with Warren and I since Dad passed away. I loved having her with me and my love for her grew so much stronger. I admire the strength she has. She was my father's ears and best secretary anyone could ask for. She moved back to Utah the end of July--couldn't keep her in this windy Idaho any longer. I miss her and love her very much! Thanks Mom for all you do for me!!!
