A million miles

We drove back to Utah this morning. We’ve done a lot of driving.
Hannah is a way better photographer than I. She sent me some of her photos❤️
Tatum, almost 10 years old. Walking to the river. She is brave, and smart and helpful.

This morning I woke up with her standing by my bed, she was hot and couldn’t sleep. We opened the window and stood side by side enjoying the 2am air. It was cool and crisp. After a few minutes she felt better so she climbed back in bed and was soon fast asleep. I lay there for a short time feeling grateful. 

Papa. 79 years old. We had lots of time to talk, and for me to hear stories I hadn’t heard before. What a delightful travel companion. What an amazing dad. We have been immensely blessed by his goodness, his example, his keen mind and hard working hands. I love him.

Sawyer. I like this picture. He and Hannah were so welcoming and fun. He played games, had chats, was funny and kind. He makes Hannah happy and I’m glad.

This boy. The countdown is on...upcoming: last first day of school, last holidays home, last year with soccer balls all around the house, video games being played in the wee hours, long talks and soda runs. Next year he will be preparing to leave on his mission and I will miss him. 

Looking to the future, and it’s going to be wonderful!

I call this one “holding on a moment longer”. No longer my little boy who needs to hold my hand to cross the street. Now I need to hold his, to capture each moment and lock them in.





Tatum took this, we loved this funny print in the museum store.

Shenanigans in the back seat!
This afternoon is was birthday dinner time. We have 6 birthdays in 2 weeks and the plan was to celebrate them all. Sadly Andrea wasn’t feeling well so they got a late start to their day and travel is long:(

Anyway, Mom, Kelly and Ethan are in June 25. Noah the 24th. Kenz and Reggie are on July 8th.  So we had cake cake cake and sang happy birthday!

Then we played games, sat around and talked, and laughed.


Scarlett is a monkey!

T and G are BFF.


Love my family!
