Proud of my soldier

Last weekend, my family was involved of our 60 day Yellow Ribbon Ceremony. Its amazing David has been home that long. This included a ceremony called the Freedom Salute. My husband was given the following items:

He received a medal, a coin (military members know the significance of the coin), A flag in a case, The certificate, lapels (one for him, one for the significant other) and the kids received a special future soldier case (seen in the back) which included games and military trading cards. It is a great feeling to see my husband be called and be shown appreciation for his sacrifices along with his fellow brothers and sisters in arms.

Saibrynn's Baptism Pics

I am kicking myself in the butt right now because we didnt get any group pictures that day. I did get pics of everyone eating, just wish I would of got ones of everyone together. Other than that, it was a wonderful day.

Hiking

Today, we decided that every Sunday we are going as a family and hiking. We are going to find different trails to go on and this week we went up to Mount Ogden. The kids were wonderful. They played, found golf balls, and ran around and got nice and dirty. Even Colten had a great time and didn't complain about anything, suprising for a teenager. If anyone has any good trails let us know, there is a long summer waiting for us. See colten is still a kid, he loves swinging

Searching for golf balls and playing in the water.

Chasten loved playing and throwing the rocks

They could hear a squirrel but couldnt see it.

Of course, nobody could all look the same way.
