track meet (STATE)

We went  to watch abbie in the state "Hershrey" track meet for kids from about 9-14--her  4x 100 relay team took --second--she was the first leg and ran like a speedy fast--race to pass the baton and it was great--we love watching her and enjoyed the fun of seeing them do so well

bridal veil falls

growing up both bryan and I drove past provo river and bridal veil falls --many times--but just this last fri did we walk up to the falls  it was beautiful and a stroll by comparison to other falls we hike to (such as bell canyon, the falls on mt. timpanogus, and some that we've seen in hawaii)  so if you get the time--go exploring in the area--its neat!!

*you make eggs  sandwiches for the kids, you wrestle with kyle, you pack him in the back pack
you are an example of greeting your kids with a heartfelt "HELLO"  when you get back to them
