Happenings


A bear. A brown bear. On the highway from Vernal to Provo. (This isn't the real bear FYI). This is what Nathan saw 10 feet away from his car on the way to.....





Ski-dive. My nerves are shot because I thought these events were making a good story of how Nathan died. As in, "He wrestled a bear the night before he jumped out of a plane and his parachute didn't work." He even had the nerve to go over our life insurance before he left. I did ask him if he wanted "How Great Thou Art" or "God Be With You Til We Meet Again" for his funeral. (This was a gift from me for his 32 birthday).







His instructor was from South Africa and was on his 2342 jump.

















































Emma is so naughty right now. Lots of "kitchen surprises", cutting stuff that shouldn't be cut (her sound machine wire and pillow last night), toys in the toilet, messes EVERYWHERE. Tyler and Hailey never did any of this. She is a handful.









Cave family. Emma was terrified but Tyler and Hailey were all over it. Mason was perfect as usual.
































First day of 3rd grade.














First day of second grade.














We traveled to Las Vegas a few weeks ago, and I want you to imagine Nathan pushing all of these suitcases on the smart carte and powdered baby formula starts streaming out all over the place. Nathan kept walking and every few steps leaned down to blow a little of the 4-inch high powder into the air to disappear. Soooooooo funny. Of course I acted like I didn't know who he was just so I could watch him struggle for a little while.







I started Emma in a preschool and she loved it the first day, but the next few days they had to pull her away from me.It wasn't worth it at all so we decided to wait another year. She does fine at home and is very attached to me, and of course I love it.















Paris. I wish I could say the real thing, but I can't. :(
















Dad has a huuuuuuuge orchard of fruit at his house. The kids loved picking grapes.

















The blondies.
