A day at the Cave with Grandpa

Yesterday Hailee and Chase went to Timpanogas Cave with their Grandpa Al. He is awsome with them, he will come and get them at least once a month during the summer on his day off and take them for the whole day. This time he decided to take them to Timpanogas Cave. He came and got them at about 9 in the morning. They had so much fun, but got a little tired on the way back down the trail (it's about a mile and a half each way). It really saved us yesterday, because Todd's Grandma died yesterday morning. Since Todd is an only child, and his parents are divorced, we are all Karen has to help her cope with the loss of her mom. We spent the day with her helping her get ready for the funeral, and just being there to help. Thanks, Nana for taking Issac for us, we love you so much. Todd's family (one aunt, four cousins and three kids) are not members of the LDS faith, so they are having a really hard time with the loss. It is really hard when they think there is nothing left, that they will never see her again. It is still hard on us even though we know it is not the end, and I am so very grateful to know that she is no longer in pain, and she is with lots of family getting to know them again. Thanks to all who love and support us, it means so very much, even if it is long distance! Can't wait to see everyone soon.

Summer Fun

Okay, so we took advantage of the one day of good weather earlier this week. I have been telling the kids that I would go get them a little sprinkler to run through, but it has been so stinking cold, that I hadn't done it. Finally it got a little bit warmer, so I went and got this sprinkler. Hailee was off with some friends, so I told Chase that he could try it. I think Issac had more fun than Chase. Chase stil thought that it was too cold. Issac on the other hand could not get enough of it. He would just go stand in the water and shake because he was cold, but don't take him out or he will scream. They had lots of fun, and hopefully the weather will get warmer and it will feel good to get in the cold water!

Vietnam Wall Replica

Todd took these pictures while at work this week. He had the honor of installing the lights and power for this memorial. It was a really awsome thing to see, and he is really glad to work for such a great company who would donate all of the materials, and time. I know that the pictures can not do it justice, but we are so very greatful for all of the service men and women who fight for our freedom, then, now and in the future! Thanks doesn't seem good enough, but it's all I got.
