Heaven on Earth

Going back to cover the summer and everything we did.... The first thing that comes to mind is Powell! We were lucky enough to make it several times! There is no place else I would rather spend my free time! Even in the midst of boating, tubing, wake boarding, skiing, and knee boarding you find time to relax. Heck, every trip we made we had some sort of mechanical problem on the trailer and one trip with terrible weather but it doesn't matter... As long as everyone is safe and we make it to the lake... Everything falls into place once your on the water. The pictures attached to this post are from our last trip of summer 2012... Willford's, Reed's and Jamey and Sawyer... September 8th!

Tanner has been involved in sports for as long as I can remember.  His passion for basketball and football at such a young age is a true testament to his dedication to be a great athlete. He always gives 100%.  The last four months have been spent participating in 5th grade Cowboy football.  Cole and I were definitely the mouth guard makin, helmet huntin', cleat findin', picture takin', facebook postin', always cheerin' football parents!  It was such a great experience.  His team had a great season, finishing with only two losses and making it to the semi-finals in the playoffs.  They were crushed that they didn't make the superbowl, as it is such a big even here in the valley.  As parents we were so proud of all of their accomplishments throughout the season!  Tanner had a great personal season and ended the year with 18 carries for 61 yards, 1 touchdown, 2 extra point conversions, 41 tackles, and 2 interceptions. Not bad for a little guy!  So proud of you Tuff!

Once again I have failed to keep this blog up to date.  I 'm not sure what its gonna take for me to be more consistent in my postings.  I just know that when I do come back and look at my old posts I love the fact that I have documented events, emotions, pictures, and stories.  Someday it won't just be me that enjoys these stories but hopefully my own kid, and someday their kids too.  Maybe that should be enough motivation to get going!

Life has been BUSY as usual!  Summer is long over and we are in the full swing of school.  Football, dance, homework, basketball, arts and crafts, and family and friends are just a few of the things that keep us ticking.  It's been amazing watching out little family grow... I never thought the day would come when my life was fully engulfed in my own children. They have always been the center of our world since we were blessed with them, but I find the older the get they more they are doing and the more EVERYTHING revolves around them and their schedules! Running them from here to there, helping them do homework, entertaining them and their friends and just trying to soak it all in.  I wouldn't change it for the world.
