Oh the Places You Will Go

Today we dropped our boy off at college. It has been so busy getting him ready I haven't had too much time to worry or be sad.  We have had to simutaniously work on his mission papers and all of the appointments that involves. So very,very busy. It reminds me of Ambers wedding. I was just too busy to have any time to feel sorry for myself about loosing my baby.
I only got a little weepy during the  welcome. And that was mostly from feeling very the spirit and being very grateful that he was attending such a wonderful school. Where people care as much about his spiritual growth as well as his academic growth.

He didn't even make it a mile and a half  to the freeway before falling asleep. He had stayed up all night packing (but mostly hanging out with Kaj) the car full of stuff. The car was so full there was barley enoufh room for one in the back.

Goldwater Lake

We spent most of  Labor Day down at the lake. I always say I am going to leave after a couple hours and come and pick up the kids but I never do. They are so fun to watch I barely get in any reading.

Spruce Mountain Hike

This is my favorite hike that doesn't have a river waiting for me at the end.

Groom Creek Cabin

It is always such a blast when we get together with the family for the holiday weekends.  Th kids play and play.  We do a lot of lazing around.  The food is always awesome.

Happy birthday Dad

Today is Dad's birthday. I just love this poster Kaylynn made for him. He loves turtley. The balloons are so cute, green his favorite color.
