FHE adventure











/
















For Family Home Evening we have gone four wheeling a couple times out past Eagle Mountain to a place called Six Mile Pass (I think?). Each time we go it has been about the same time of night and we see two things: the gorgeous sunset and a Blackhawk helicopter! The sunset is expected and even welcomed. The Blackhawk scares me to death!

They do training exercises in our four wheeling spot, so lots of dipping down and landing (about a half mile away!). It just reminds me of movies where the helicopter starts to spray bullets at the enemy. It has HUGE guns on each side and we would be perfect target practice most of the time. It is crazy loud yet Spence and the kids love it! I have yet to get a picture of the Blackhawk because we mostly just freeze and stare at it the intire time it is around.

Spencer went out with a couple guys to ride motorcycles in the same place and the Blackhawk chased them down, then would hide from them and pop up behind a hill and fly along with them while they rode. Spencer assures me that what we have experienced when we have gone as a family is quite calm compared to feeling like the "enemy" when he went with his friends!

Who would have thought Family Home Evening would turn into this!

Sweetness

Avery: "I am Jesus' number one fan!"

She said it so randomly and out of the blue. I love her process from thought to expression. How else can you say you love Jesus? There you go.

Father's Day Weekend

A devoted father was the second thing on my list of qualities I wanted in a man. Three years of marriage when Brady came along I found out Spence exceeded all my wishes. He is the BEST (my kids will back me up on this). How did I get so lucky?

For Father's day weekend Spence chose to go to our cabin ALONE. Weird for us, we love going with family and friends but it was nice to have just our family. On Friday Brady said "I'm glad I'm part of this family." We were having so much fun! I second the motion. I am too. While we were there we found a new beach that we fell in love with.......

Milestones and Silliness











Spence's dad had his 70th Birthday party at The Roof. His Mom and sister, Natalie, did all the decorations and details. It was a perfect evening to celebrate a wonderful man. We enjoyed a night of great memories, food, and company. I love the view from The Roof! It is on the top floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial building, so the SLC temple is right outside. I loved the sunset view....

The bottom picture is us at Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls, Idaho. We were visiting my parents and took some pictures. This was my favorite. We really do have that much fun together.
