 Aunt Lani and her cute family!

 It was freezing!  I'm playing a game of tag with the kids to stay warm.

mckay's big day

It is so great to turn 8!  What an exciting time for our family!  It's also hard to think about how fast the children grow up, but it's mostly wonderful.  What a beautiful choice McKay made to follow in the footsteps of the Savior.  We are proud of him!  I can see positive growing up changes in him now that he's "accountable".  

summer coastal camping

We went coastal camping this summer at Mt. Madonna County Park.  I love this place!  It is so beautiful!  It was chilly and a little wet because of the fog, but so good.  We had a great time relaxing at camp, eating good food, and taking little walks.  I can definitely feel a tradition coming on.  Who's with us next year?!
