Back Home

We said goodbye to David's sister Becky Patterson last week.  Becky past away last Saturday, September 15th after a 2 year battle with leukemia. We were able to take a week off of work and life to go to Utah last week to spend time with David's family and attend Becky's funeral.  Our heart's ache for Becky's wonderful and steadfast husband Garon and her three beautiful children.  They will fare the worst in this story but we are grateful for Becky and the wonderful life she lived.  We will miss her laugh and blushing at her frequent off-color jokes.   David was able to give a really great talk at her funeral and  the spirit we felt was so strong.  I am so grateful for the gospel perspective we have.  For the atonement of Jesus Christ, and for temples and the opportunity the we have to be with our families forever.  

Summer 2012

 Summers are for riding bikes, playing in the mud, enjoying the outdoors, and playing with friends, and that's exactly what we did this summer.

 The kids learned to ride their bikes without training wheels!

 We got dirty in the mud and dirt while we were camping at our family reunion.  We also played hard with our Adams family and had tons of fun and I got about 2 picture of the whole thing so if anyone has any more, let me know.

 We ate a lot of fresh veggies and berries from out garden and they were so delicious!

 We went to Wilson Springs Pond a lot and fed the ducks. 

We ran and played and got sunburned and swam and visited family and worked and went to bed late and ate popscicles and ice cream way more than was good for us.  I guess you could say it's been a good summer, You can't ask for more than all of the wonderful things that we got to do.  I love fall but I do hate saying goodbye to summer, I love the warm days and the flowers, the fresh food and the smell of a freshly mowed lawn, the sound of crickets singing at night, and eating lots of ice cream.  I guess  if I ever get lonely for summertime, I'll just break out a half gallon of Dreyer's and eat my cares away.    It just might be a great Autumn after all. :)
