We set a goal that we would do something fun as a family on at least one of Roy's days off each week, so this week we went to Bridal Veil Falls for a picnic and to hike to the bottom of the lower falls. I have lived in Utah practically my whole life and have never been there (just driven past). It was so fun! We should have gone earlier so that we could have spent more time, so we will have to do it again.

Lost and Found
...4 years later!
In July of 2006 I lost my keys. I was 8 months pregnant with Samuel, we were getting ready to move (our house sold in about 2 hours), and I was working part-time at Banta. One day I walked into the house after work, slumped down on the sofa for just a few minutes with my purse right next to me on the floor, and then when I got back up to go visiting teaching, the keys were gone. We searched everywhere, and when they didn't even turn up when we packed and moved everything out, we figured that Rebekah (who was only 19 months old) had somehow thrown them away.
A few days ago Roy found them! In his car in the track that the seat moves back and forth in. What's even funnier is that for the past year or so I have not been able to even drive Roy's car because the seat would not adjust. Now it adjusts just fine! :)

Memorial Day 2010
Sometimes I wonder how it is possible that we actually had a child die. Maybe it is because life keeps moving forward when it sort of seems like time should have stopped. It is very surreal. Yet, here is the proof, and we are thankful for the time we had with our little Samuel.
There are getting to be quite a lot of people we know who are buried in the Orem Cemetery. We were late getting flowers purchased, so there weren't a lot of options. (Note to self: don't wait to get flowers until you are on your way to the cemetery.) It was a beautiful day!
And it was made even more beautiful by the fact that our brother-in-law Nate was doing quite well following a very serious motorcycle accident two days before. We are thankful for miracles!
Last Day of School 5-28-10
Rebekah's Preschool Graduation
Rebekah was blessed to be in the preschool at Cherry Hill this school year, and she had a great time. The kids are all so cute! Thank you to Miss Ruth Ann and Miss Cecelia for being such great teachers. She really learned a lot, and it kept her busy since she was getting quite bored at home without her brother here to keep her company.
Elisabeth survived 3rd grade, even though she had sort of a rough start. Her teacher was Mrs. Threet, whom she really ended up liking in the end. I think Elisabeth grew up a lot this year. She is excited to know cursive and her times tables. She got 1st place for the third grade in the Arbor Day poster contest, and honorable mention on the state level. She is such a sweet girl.
At the end of the day (dinnertime) the girls were zonked!
