Having Sime Fun

Some days it is only me with the younger three.  We do home projects, go swimming, to the beach, hiking or find some other adventure.  Today it was a bike ride out on the rail trails.  We stopped to catch our breath...wait, my breath and snap some fun photos!

Eli’s Alert Basic Training

Eli loved the adventure that Alert Basic Training offered.  It challenged him in new ways.  He realized the benefit of hard work, team work and overcoming hard things.  I love that the men of Alert loved on him in his struggles, challenged him to do better and cheered him on when he needed it.

Darrell flew with Eli and brought him to school.  It is always hard saying goodbye but knew this was his time.

 

Family Dinner

A family gathering is always a lot of work but also a super blessing!  Working together and enjoying the fruits of our labors.  Isn't it beautiful?

                        Sweet memories and everyone put their own little touches on our meal!
