This and That :)

Rain, Rain Go Away!


It rained much of the day yesterday and has been raining most of today. This is the last thing our swollen rivers needed!You can't even see the mountains today ~ they are in a cloud bank.


Last night was Dani's year end concert. It lasted 2 hrs. and was worth it. The Acappella Choir she's in does an amazing job! At the end the seniors stepped forward and sang Ogden Highs hymn. I couldn't help but think that this time next year Dani will be one of those seniors singing her school hymn for the last time. That brings such mixed emotions. Sadness that these years have gone by so fast but joy at the blessing it is to watch our kids grow towards adulthood. I'm proud of all 3 of them!

Last Saturday was a rough soccer game for Ben. He was red carded for being to aggressive. I could see it being a yellow as Ben is the fastest kid on his team and he collided hard with an opposing player. Red was not an appropriate call but what can you do? A red card means he can't play in this Saturday's game :(

He made the first goal of last Saturday's game though and it was impressive! Yeah Ben!!

Friday night DJ, Heather and I took a drive up to Causey Reservoir. It was a beautiful evening and it was nice to drive up in the hills again.

As I write this blog post my dad is on his way here from Oregon for a visit. No special reason. Just a visit. He loves photography as much as I do so we'll have fun over the next week taking pictures as we adventure around the area. I'm sure I'll share with you :)


Have a beautiful day!
