fun in Yellowstone

Years ago we used to take you kids to Yellowstone--these past couple of days--we stood on the edge of the water of Yellowstone lake and think back when you kids were there throwing rocks--we enjoyed many hikes, walks, sunsets, waterfalls, wildlife.  We really had a good time--we came up to the park through Jackson hole wyoming.  It was fun.

The Jacob cabin

We had a fun weeken spending time with Joe and Hayley at the Jacob cabin
Dad caught a fish fly fishing ,  we road the four wheeler, played ping pong--relaxed , ate , sat by a camp fire, hiked, used the paddle boat on the lake--the time went by so fast.  We really enjoyed ourselves

we love to hear in your comings and goings--we are thankful for what you do in your callings too-

 we do want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers--just thought we should tell you that once in awhile

  

so many blessings

as we helped assemble bed and then watch the kids (in the kirk family) just into them --in their new home--we couldn't help think --of the anticipation for that long awaited day--when they could be in their beds all snuggly in their new -home--this will be the beginning of so many memories--they will build together there--we are ever grateful that  Heavenly father has seen fit for this miricle to happen.

where the wild things are

we enjoyed watching a little skit production 'where the wild things are'  with megan and her other friends that joined together to perform the skit as part of a summer murray theatre program--it make us smile--and she did a really good job

soccer games

we've really enjoyed that soccer games have started again--we surely love rotating to the different games--between the grandkids--they give it their all and they make us smile--wow its a lot of running
