ThrowBack Thursday ~ Beautiful flowers...

from Chris

Grahmy time...

What could be better than having lunch with Grahm. We also did a little shopping for Father's Day. He helped choose ties for Grandpa and Mark. We were looking at cards and he said, "I hope there is one that says best dad ever." 

I enjoyed watching Grahm build a Star Wars Lego set. He struggled a bit with the last build. Grandpa tried to help but couldn't figure it out. Grahm never gave up and was thrilled when everything came together!

AT-RT Walker (All Terrain Reconnaissance Transport) is finished!

Grahmy time, nothing better!

Fix what you can...

Don’t assume you can fix everything, but fix what you can. If those are only small victories, be grateful for them and be patient. Dozens of times in the scriptures, the Lord commands someone to “stand still” or “be still”—and wait. Patiently enduring some things is part of our mortal education.

Oldest... Youngest...

Mark, Colby, and Grey all went camping this week so Grandpa took Cash and Grahm to a real lake to do a little fishing. Grandpa spent several hours getting the fishing gear ready. He even bought a small cooler and filled it with snacks. They had a fun day at Jordanelle Reservoir and even caught a few small mouth bass! Cash drove home and did great. He's getting his driving hours in before he turns 16 in September. Grandpa told me several times how much it meant to him to have this time with our oldest and youngest grandsons.

ThrowBack Thursday ~ Kisses for brother...

Perfect day at the park with Colby, Grey, and Grahm. Lots of love and kisses!

The first taste of summer with Grey and Grahm...

How I love getting the first snow cone

of the season with my grandsons!

Grahm always wants me to take a picture of his tongue!

We may get a few more snow cones this summer!

God's plan...

There is a God, who is the loving Father of the spirits of all who have ever lived or will live.

Gender is eternal. Before we were born on this earth, we all lived as male or female spirits in the presence of God.

“I Will Follow God’s Plan” ~ That is the plan God established so that all of His spirit children could progress eternally. That plan is vital to each of us.

Always sharing...

Tim is a wonderful grandpa who never misses an opportunity teach our grandsons. From fishing, flying RC airplanes, and woodworking to playing catch or pool. He's always sharing his vast knowledge and creating memories. He may give very thorough explanations now and then, but that's because he genuinely wants them to learn and succeed. He lives for the times we can be with Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm and loves them deeply.

We saw lots of fish swimming in the pond. Grey caught one but it got stuck in the seaweed. Grahm caught a fish and it wiggled away. That's our fish story and we are sticking to it!

We saw Ed Miller, he was our Bishop when we lived in Hidden Oaks. Ed is a humble and kind person. His son Tom and Mark are good friends and played soccer together. One of my favorite memories with Bishop Miller was at girl's camp. We went to Jackson Hole. Ed loves the outdoors and led us on the most incredible hike past a waterfall and when we made it to the top of the mountain, the view was breathtaking. It was actually a very spiritual experience. 

Grey and Grahm slept over and in the morning we played outside. Grandpa used his pocketknife for something. Grahm looked at Grandpa so hopefully, he asked him if was old enough to have a pocket knife. Grandpa said he thought he was and Grahm was so happy. He promised to be really careful and keep it in his cubby where it would be safe. 

Cash is driving, how is that possible? 

It was fun to see him drive up to pick up Grey and Grahm!

I'm so thankful for everyday moments with our grandsons-they are priceless. We are endlessly grateful for each one of them.
