Quote of the day

This is a quote that my parents sent from their mission that they found while working with their documents.

"A life that is not documented, is a life that within a generation or two will largely be lost to memory."

I really like it and it makes me remember that the time I spend doing my blog is documenting our history.

Building a fort for Grandma 2006

For Mothers day we usually see what Grandma would like done around the house. She buys everything and then we do the labor, a good deal for everyone. Kirk designed the play fort and then we set to work building. It's always a good experience for us and the kids to help build something.

We called this house home for a while while were looking for a house to buy. I quite enjoyed living here despite the house was tilting, you could put a can on the floor in the kitchen and it would roll fast to the other side. The kids all had their own room which was quite nice for them except Tyler would have rather slept somewhere else because he could see the kitchen downstairs through his bedroom floor. He was always afraid his bed would fall through the floor. I learned how to hang my laundry out to dry outside. It was a fun house during the spring and summer because it had a great yard.
