Yuba Lake

Our last fun activity until school begins. Cooper will be in 1st grade going full time. Chase in 5th and both in a brand new school about 10 houses from ours. Blake will be a sophomore in high school this year. I started to cry the other day when I thought about having only 2 more summers with him. I am going to relish every moment. I am so blessed with these amazing boys. The year gets so hectic with work, school, sports, etc. that sometimes we forget to stop and take in the moments that are shaping our lives now. It's easy to get sidetracked and caught up in trying to get through the day or week, waiting for something later. When, in fact, everything that is happening now are the opportunities we have to learn, love, enjoy and influence the ones around us. Have a great school year people!

Hiking

One of the perks of living in Utah is the unlimited activities to do outside and in the mountains. Curtis + 6 kids + hike to falls = sore muscles from butt to calves. They did have a good time though. A little disappointed in the falls, but that may be cause it was more of a climb than planned.....so, naturally expecting wonders! Cooper kept saying "I have 200 energies left....I have 120 energies left...." until the end when he had "zero energies left."
