Day 27

Today was a very fun day at Lagoon with the kids.  The lines were short and we were able to ride everything we wanted.  It was fun to watch Emma as she loved all the roller coasters that she is now tall enough to ride.  It can be exhausting keeping up with her all the time, the energy is endless! But watching her enjoying life is also refreshing.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could all do that?!

Day 26

It has been a nice day! I have enjoyed taking it slow and easy.  Nowhere to go and nothing really urgent to take care of.  It was also fun to spend some time shopping$$$! There are times when I feel that I have to be very conscientious about what I say and how I act around other people.  I have criticized others for being easy to offend but I know that I can be guilty of that also!

Day 25

Drove the kids down to Cedar City today.  It was fun to see them so excited about the week ahead. I will honestly admit that the drive home (5 hours) by myself in the car with the windows down and the radio on was awesome! It was nice to have the time to think about things without the distractions of others.  I look at these teens and worry about all they have to go through.  It is tough dealing with the constant criticism and temptations that fly around at high school but I am proud of how they handle it. 

Day 24

Headed to Utah this afternoon! Excited to see family and spend a few days at Lagoon! Kourtney and the older kids get to spend the next week down in Cedar City at EFY.  What a wonderful time to spend with other teenagers that believe in the same things she does and have the same standards she does! It is nice to have that confirmation that she can be proud of who she is!

Day 23

The best concert of them all tonight! Toby Keith is fabulous! Frontier days has been a great adventure and we are so glad to live in Cheyenne! It is amazing how much we feel like this is home.  We have been here 8 years now and it is the place our family feels like we can claim as our own! Good people!
