~Autumn

 Have you ever had one of those days where you felt love, peace, joy, and  was overflowing with happiness? That was my weekend.  We headed out on Friday when Ward got home from work.  The trailer was loaded so all we had to do was hook up the truck and away we went.  We arrived in the mountains late.  In the morning it was like Christmas, I couldn't wait to see all the Fall colors, the lake and enjoy our days away.  While the girls and I got ready for the day Ward took off with for a quick 2 hour motorcycle ride. He took his camera phone and took pictures he knew I would love.  When he returned we had lunch then we all headed up the mountain to see all the colors!  I was so excited!  I love this time a year and seeing part of the country we haven't seen before.  I was overwhelmed with peace as we drove.  I couldn't stop thinking this world was created for our pleasure.  It was created for us to enjoy and love.  To look around its hard not to feel the power of Heaven.  I felt so blessed to be with my little family, laughing, talking and spending this time without the world getting in the middle.  We got back into camp in time to start dinner and watch a powerful lightening storm come through.  We all sat out under the awning enjoying the storm.  When we went in to eat I was asked to say the blessing on the food,  I could hardly get through the prayer.  My emotions were so strong for the love I feel for my Heavenly Father and the beautiful life He has allowed me to live.  I have been watched over, comforted, blessed and guided to  this stage in my life and am so grateful for all I have.  This weekend was very fast, but it was amazing in memories!

Cinderella Ballet

We saw the Sleeping Beauty Ballet a couple of years 

ago and couldn't wait to see more Fairy Tale Ballets.

Several months ago we bought tickets to see the

Cinderella Ballet, and it's finally here!

We headed to Denver early Saturday morning to spend the 

day around town, check into

a hotel, eat and head to the Ballet.  

What a beautiful night!  

The Ballet was wonderful,

I am so glad we are able to take the girls to 

the ballet, see plays and expose them to 

things outside of our small town. 

Every day make a memory

~Happy New Year~

It's the 2nd of January and we headed out on this amazingly

beautiful day for a drive in the mountains.  We headed out with

a direction in mind and where we would end up but not knowing

what we would find in between.  It was a perfect day in every way.

We saw some beautiful country we had never seen before, walked through

the snow in the middle of nowhere, saw this beautiful old church with

a bell tower, took some great pictures, bought cowgirl boots in a small town,

laughed, told stories, drank hot cocoa, and ended the day

with dinner together before heading home. 

It was a day I hope we never forget!
