Things have been a little daunting around here lately. Maybe when it's all over I'll have energy to write about it. Until then, I've been trying to keep some normalcy for the boys. We've spent a lot of time outside at the parks in our area. I took some pics of Parker at 7 months. Caden beat up the flowers while I did this. Yay for crazy, unstoppable little boys. I had to get pictures of the boys swinging at our favorite park. We going running here every morning and afterwards we swing. It's our thing, and I am going to miss it.

And I know I've said this before but I will miss the mountains so much. I think it's because every time I see them I am reminded to look up; to look Heavenward. When I transferred out to BYU 6 years ago, I vividly remember driving into campus surrounded by the beautiful mountains, looking, upward, and having this overwhelming feeling that such good things would come from this decision. I don't think I ever imagined to what extent I would be blessed. Now when I look to the mountains, Heavenward, I am reminded of that day, and filled with such gratitude for the good things that have flooded my life since moving to Utah. This truly is such an incredible, unique place and I am thankful for all the good memories that we have from our time here. Mostly, I'm grateful for the three boys I got in Utah that I get to take with me. :)
Oh, and Caden's surgery went really well. It was the best case scenario: the cyst is cancer free and wasn't pushing on the brain! Like I said, we've been so blessed! He's recovering with a sweet bandage on his forehead for the next 6 weeks.
