Update, Deep Thought, Summer Memories

Girls Camp Last week of July...It was so fun and a great time spent with the young women and the leaders. We have some great girls in our ward! Here they are as a rock band with a couple of the leaders.

I loved the week at girls camp and the spirit I felt there. I was ready to come home to my family and got a great surprise. My stairs and room got carpeted! Yea so fun to come home to my boys and new carpet!

My camera is a mess and I don't know how to fix it so some of my pictures are blurry. Ruby J came to play one morning. She is a month and 1/2 younger than my Gun Gun and so laid back.

We also had another cousin spend a couple nights at our house, Korben who lives in Island Park, ID spent a couple of weeks in Utah. Gunnar loved sitting and watching a movie with him.

Korben and Mack dressed Gunnar up??

Almost every morning we are home the boys and I go for a walk or a bike ride and end up at a park. Sometimes we drive somewhere new, get out and walk and try to find a park to play at. The other morning while walking I asked Mack what has been his favorite part about summer. He said playing at the parks. I realized then that simple things please this kid. Our trips to all the splash parks, the Legacy Center pool, the Owlz games, camping and four wheeling, Trafalga, fireworks, etc. was worth it and great memories for us all but the most memories will be our morning walks together and playing at the parks. We try to find a new park each week! I love my boys and love this memory and tradition we have created for the many more summers to come!

I am terrible at taking pictures so today I took pictures of our park in Cedar Hills we visited this morning.

I love summer and don't want it to end. I know I don't have any kids in school yet and it's not really ending for us, but just the thought of others going back to school always makes me sad that the summer is coming to an end. Mack will be starting pre school on the 30th going every Tues and Thursdays from 9 until 11:30. He is so excited and I am excited for him. He needs a break from his mother and younger brother to do something by himself. My boys for the most part play really well together and some of the games they come up with are great, but then they can get on each others nerves and fight for toys and my attention.

DEEP THOUGHT....

These past few days I have struggled with life. Don't get me wrong I love to be alive and I love my life for the most part, but a part of me thinks that I have more to offer this world, wants to be more busy, have more friends, have more family around, etc. That I am not fulfilling my full potential and yet I don't know how to go about reaching that potential. I am struggling to understand revelation from our Heavenly Father and to know what more I can do. I have peace and contentment about one thing and feel it is right and the next minute I am worried, anxious, and up tight and let down or disappointed trusting in Heavenly Father only to not understand my feelings. This makes no sense. I am having a hard time writing what I am feeling.

Do you ever feel like your life was the life you where always ment to live. Or this is the life you got because you didn't make the right decisions earlier on in life. You choose this career path instead of this one, or you choose this school instead of that one? My deep thought for the day. I guess I shouldn't dwell too much on it since this is my life and I need to be more thankful for it and enjoy the journey I have been given and strive harder to understand revelation given.
