Summit

This past week has been looming ahead for our family and now it is gone and over with.  It seems weird to have something over with so quick that we talked about and Bracken prepared for for so long. Bracken took the bar, climbed Mount Rainier, and I took the kids on a road trip from Las Vegas to Cache Valley.  The kids and I got home last night at midnight and Bracken flew in this morning. Now what we have been looking forward to-- a whole month of playing until he starts work!

Here is Bracken and Jeff Paul at the summit.  (those are clouds behind them!) He said it was well worth the time & money and I'm glad he got home safe. A successful climb!

Church was a bit crazy alone with three kids. They all decided they needed to be on my lap at the same time. Eliciting laughs from the seasoned mother sitting by me and looks of pity from the new mother in front of me as I jostled them on top of each other.  Bracken got home right after church and we were all so excited to see him. We went to Rod (my dad's cousin) & Cindy's for dinner. Hayes & Kamri love playing with their grandkids, I explained to them that they are their third cousin's so now they call Rod & Cindy their third grandparents. We are grateful they let us join their family for Sunday dinner!
