Just a couple of funky pics we took.... the one of Patrick kinda creeps me out. I am waiting for a Jack Nicholson voice - eeek!

Do you remember?

Eight years ago - this nation suffered a terrible tragedy.  But many good things came from this tragedy - people were more friendly, more kind, more giving, more patriotic.  Our great nation was an even greater nation - it arose from the ashes of 9/11 like a phoenix - bringing hope to its citizens.  Sadly - most of the patriotism, kindness and kinship of that horrible time has faded.  This nation is again in turmoil - we need to pull together again.  We need to pull back together.  We need peace.

Today - I hope we can remember the tragedy, the lives lost but also remember the days after 9/11.  Reach out to your neighbor, the stranger on the street.  Be kind.  We should never forget that day, the heroes of that day, the people who died and the people who lived.  We should remember...

Labor Day!

Welcome to Bear Lake!!

I love this pic.  My kids...

On Labor Day - we decided to head up to Bear Lake.  Wyatt had to pick something in the state to focus on for the school year - he chose Bear Lake.  We decided to show him the lake.  We had such a great time!!  The weather was beautiful!  It was a great day.  The water was COLD but it didn't stop the kids from enjoying it!  

We had a great time!  I hope to make it a tradition!
