Weekend Wakeboarding in Wahweep!

We had SO much fun wakeboarding last year in Lake Powell that we decided to do a long weekend and repeat this year. The water was AMAZING, the company was FANTASTIC and we had a great time. Here are a couple pictures.

This was my Ab-workout while I was on the boat!

Go Rob!

Can't Stop Thinking...

There are just a handful of books that I've read that have really made an impact in my life. I just finished one that I can't stop thinking about. I know it is a good book when I think about the characters and wonder what they are doing, or I think what would so-and-so do in this situation. I have to admit when I read I want to escape and live in a alternate world for a while. "These is My Words" was such an incredible book, full of hardship, love, and great perseverance. Most of all I was impressed with Sarah the main character...she is such a ROCK. Knowing that there are women in the world who rise above all despite being given a lot more than their fair share of trials gives me power to know that truly anything is possible. If you need a good book to pick-up this is most definitely one!

Last Week in Pictures

We had a totally fun week last week. It was busy, but we had lots of fun play-dates and family-fun-nights. USA vs. El Salvidor World Cup Qualifying Soccer Match, hanging at the Driving Range...Jack's new love, Zoo with Taylor, Emma and Clara and the Children's Garden with April and Aryiah. Not to forget fun Birthday lunch with Becca and Steph for Becca's Birthday and our nephew Isaiah's Baptism, oh and the UTAH game! Great week and a fun what to start of September!

GAME DAY

A long awaited season has arrived. We started it off right with a win...here's hoping for many more to come!

"Living the life you've imagined" (a la Henry David Thoreau)

I just came across a blog from a friends...blog stalking I know, but I was so touched. You know in olden days that women used to sit in a RED TENT and talk and rally around one another. Women in the 1950's had their friends/neighbors that they would chat with over the fence. Now we have moved to a whole new age where we rally together and glean from one another via our computers. I know the intimacy of face-to-face communication is less, but we are still being connected and uplifted. I am grateful for inspiring words from real women who want to better not only their lives but all women.

The title of this post is a quote I grabbed off of this new Blog, BLOOM. "Living the life you've imagined". Are you living the life you've imagined? I've been contemplating those words...and I can honestly answer, YES! I have been so blessed with so many things, but most important to me is my family, friends and my beliefs. I'm excited to rally with a new set of women, who I don't know, but will soon come to through this new and exciting age of technology. To quote BLOOM again, "we believe in evolution - that getting from where we are to what we imagine is a process." May you all be blessed in the process that we call life...and may we all grow the life that we imagined!

Summer of Golf...

- Over 20 golf balls LOST in our backyard bushes
- 3 broken golf clubs (not just the plastic ones...real metal golf clubs)
- One broken sprinkler head from being used as a "T"
- I can't count the times the golf clubs have been put in TIME OUT
- One downed pepper plant from an over anxious golfer
- All clubs are named with correct corresponding names (Driver, Putter, Iron etc.)
- Not enough trips to the driving range, but we did get there


Am I raising a golfer? Does your two year old know what a Birdie or Par means? Does your two year old have an obsession with Golf, mine does!
