Ward Youth Conference

Sam and Evelyn got to go to Ward Youth Conference this last week. They did lots of hiking, swimming, fishing, etc.... It was a great time.  My neighbor Emilee said, "It was fun getting to know your kids better and see their personalities for longer than just on Sunday or Wednesday."  I feel like that's a true statement. We don't know someone by meeting.  We know that better by being together often or always. 

They came home happy, tired and dirty.

 

Moab trail run

Jer's knee/back is doing well enough that he registered for and ran his favorite race ever.  He loves the Moab trail run.  Ada went with him to make sure that Dad made it home in one piece.  I'm very grateful she was willing to do so.  The rest of us went to Vivien's baptism.  I played the music, Evelyn and Seth were the witnesses and Sam helped grandma lead the music.  It was a blessing to be a part of. I've got pictures on my camera.  I'll upload a couple later today.

After the race, they chose to stop by Arches and go on a couple of hikes.  They loved their time and took some awesome pictures.

Everybody was kung fu fighting
