Aspen Grove Part 1

I decided to do our Aspen Grove trip in a two part post because there are so many pictures. We were at Aspen Grove from Saturday the 14th to Friday the 20th. Such a fun week! We were spoiled with great weather, warm during the day and cool in the evenings. I loved wearing jackets at night, it reminded me of our days in Wyoming. I loved playing games with the adults at night and having the kids play so hard everyday we had to wake them up in the morning so we didn't miss breakfast.  

Caroline, Bekah and Ava having fun together in the stompers class.

Brett doing the high ropes course.

This was our attempt at a family picture. Not so much.... 

Me and LeeAnn.

Caroline loved the loft in our cabin.

Gunner is such a ham.

Love my little man.

Gunner made fast friends with uncle Jared.

Love you babe!

Ode to my Dad

My dad and I weren't bff's when I was younger. I like to think that over the years I have matured a bit and we are much closer now. I like to think we've become pretty good friends. My dad is one of those people that makes a print on peoples lives. Everyone loves him. When he goes somewhere new he wants to meet and greet everyone. He is quick to share the gospel and he loves his family. My dad has been through alot in his life. Open heart surgery, cancer, and his latest challenge, a brain tumor. The amazing thing is not that he has been through so many health struggles, but that he has done it with such a positive attitude and sense of peace. Such trust in the Lord, that whatever he has planned will happen and he has had faith in that. He is strong and brave and someone I hope to be more like one day. Get better soon, love you dad!

I was able to spend some time with dad while he was doing his physical therapy.  

A few days after dad's surgery he was doing so well they moved him to a rehab hospital where he will stay for the rest of his recovery. Brett and I had visited dad a few times in the hospital but this is the first time the kids were able to see grandpa and his new haircut.  

Mom has been by his side through every step of the way.
