Gordon B. Hinckley said, "My plea is that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life, we accentuate the positive." This year we hope to focus more on the positive blessings in our life. Hopefully, this blog is a source of optimism for us now and in the future.

Grandpa and Grandma C. came to Town

My mom and dad came down for the weekend. For 3 days, we worked hard, played hard, and laughed hard. What a great few days we had together. Here is our weekend in pictures:


We (re)planted 20 raspberry starts from my mom's garden. Hopefully, next year they will start producing yummy berries.



Dad and Jonathon spent many hours rebuilding our broken gate. 



Grandpa built the boys an awesome new sandbox



They took advantage of the sandbox bright and early the next morning (in their pajamas, nonetheless).



Uncle Ben took Christian bowling. Christian is doing his "happy dance" after knocking down some pins.



Grandpa, Jonathon, and Christian got to go to the BYU homecoming football game against SDSU. The Cougars won, and the boys came home happy!

Activities not pictured included:
*Cleaning the Garage (now we can actually put the car in it)
*Shopping and Decorating help from Mom
*Playing Scrabble, Scotland Yard, and Settlers of Catan
*Wedding Reception for my cousin Mark and his new wife, Samantha
(This included seeing about 50 cousins, and Aunts, and Uncles that I haven't seen in several years.... so FUN!)

FUN! Smart callon putting the sand box far from the house. We have ours right next to the house and I think half the sandbox is in my kitchen!

It was so fun to see you guys at Mark's reception. I missed those kids of yours though!

Your house looks great!
