Andi and I met at Busy Barns Farm for a home school day.  The girls could have moved in there! So much to do from jumping off hay mounds, playing in tube slides, feeding and holding animals, watching animals, going on a hay ride, picking pumpkins ... We hope to make it an annual event.

Camping in Michigan

Painted Rock, Michigan

So Matt, the girls, Uncle Judd and I went to the UP camping for a week.  It was a lot of fun and so relaxing. The girls swam in Lake Superior (yes even in the 2nd week in September), collected rocks, did some remote/hike in camping, canoeing and all around just great time.

Cierra turns 8

Cierra chose to be baptized and was able to do so the day after her birthday.  It was a beautiful ceremony and we are so very proud of her.  She is a wonderful example of faith and obedience.  In so many moments it is she that teaches me.  Each of my daughters is so different, so unique, yet so special.  I am grateful that Heavenly Father has entrusted me with their special spirits and in doing has helped me to become a better woman than I would have been without them.  Cierra is one of the most loyal, giving, compassionate people you will ever meet and it is my honor to be her mother.
