So I have been so terrible about keeping up my blog this summer. I have missed recording a lot of fun things. Last Sunday I had to teach Relief Society, I had to pray and decide what to teach on. Well it came to me as clear as anything... goals. Our church bases you in goals as a child. The teenage kids programs are all about goals. But I haven't been a teenager for ..hummmmm.... a few years. So I got completely away from setting them. I have set goals over the years, but not the right way. You have to write them down! I have done this for a week and I have done very well with them. One of those goals was to get back to my blog, so here I am!
Today we had the same church meeting as everybody in 2 counties. I thought that was cool about a half a million people were all at church listening to the same message at the same time. It was a good feeling.
Then we went on an impromptu picnic with some neighbor families. It was a gorgeous day in a gorgeous canyon!
The kids played.... Nathan joined in.
It has been unseasonably cool here for about 2 weeks. The trees are starting to show a little color.
This is how you get a teenager to look into the camera.
And this is him normal! BTW now all of Mikes boys are taller than their dad! (Nathan by an inch)

Conference and then a barbecue. Oh, my lands. It really was a great feeling realizing that we were all singing the same hymns at the same time - in all those valleys, singing - I wonder what the satellite picture of that would look like - all that energy and music and spirit rising out of the valleys like waves of heat coming off the desert, or like rainbows, arching over the fields - pretty cool.
