“A little garden in which to walk, and immensity in which to dream. At one’s feet that which can be cultivated and plucked; over head that which one can study and meditate upon: some flowers on earth, and all the stars in the sky.” – Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

Summer Games

Brandt won 3 gold medals and a silver during the Utah Summer Games in Cedar City. He won a championship game with his team the SS Rams. He won his other golds for free-throw and hot shot shooting. He earned a silver for the 3 point competition.

Got the M.J. thing going on.

Hustling!

Girls Camp

"There's No Place like Home" -Girls Camp Theme 2012

For Girls Camp, a 15 mile walk ended in Manti where they "touched the temple" and made a promise to be sealed to their husband in the future. It was a very sweet moment welcoming them for the last bit of their journey and walking up the hill to the temple with both my girls by my side and holding hands. It was a difficult trek with it being hot and windy, but the end result was a beautiful experience.

Can you say 'peas'?

I may not be Peter, but I picked a peck of perfect peas to put in my freezer.

My bowl overfloweth.

My secret garden invites little friends.

Growing a gorgeous garden full of flowers brings me joy.

-Working on the new room.-

In January, we started converting the garage into a large family room which will be connected to the kitchen. It's been a lot of work and will be nice place to hang out when we're done.
