"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

some fun.....

Old Town Spring
Today we were able to go to Old Town Spring and visit with my Grandparents (who are in town from Utah) and my Uncle and Aunt who live a little over an hour away from us. It was fun to get the kids outside and to see family!
When we got home from Old Town Spring we started doing some work in our backyard, cutting down small trees and clearing some more space for the kids to play. We (Chad) ended up building a burn pile and it got me in the mood to cook dinner over the fire. Well, I had nothing prepared so we ended up eating hotdogs over the fire followed by smores! YUM! It's been so long since I've had a smore. Carly and Sam LOVED it! We will definately be doing this again!


Carly trying to make her "smarshmellow brown."

This was Sam's masterpiece.
(don't worry, I only let him take one bite of the delicacy)


Okay, I love this picture! It was so funny to see them both so intrigued by the fireball marshmallow!

Carly kept posing while I was taking pictures of her Smarshmellow face. She was having a good time!
