"Both abundance and lack of abundance exist simultaneously in our lives as parallel realities. It is our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present- love, health, family, friends, work, joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us happiness- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth."

Bear Lake Trip

Hours and hours of fun in the sun and very shallow water. 

Our Temple Sealing

It was a whirlwind of a summer and right in the middle, we took our newest kids to the temple to be sealed. It was a perfect weekend and we have some wonderful pictures we will always treasure.

Aladdin Jr

Halle was one of the 5 narrators in Aladdin Jr. this year. She made a ton of new friends and had an awesome time doing the play although by the end of the last performance, the yawns just kept coming. Time to recuperate now and enjoy the rest of the summer.




During practice, Jafar had a difficult time growling and getting angry with her in his part. 







And of course Neal helped build the set again and amazed everyone with his magic carpet.

Basketball Time

Neal is playing for the hospital basketball team again this year and they are in the championships so I braved taking all 5 to see a game. I don't think they would have done quite so well without the play dough.
