The Tetons

The Jackson Jaunt

When we went fly fishing with Liam the other day, we didn't realize we were so close to Jackson. So we went home and planned a trip for the next couple of days!

Upon arriving at our hotel Tanner asked if we could get a discount if we came out alive. It was a steal of a deal, and that's what counts!

Learning to Fly (fish)

Liam loved to learn along side Tanner. I would catch him smiling, he would notice, and then try hard not to smile even more. He's a busy fisherman after all.

My Mother

When you observe kind and gentle mothers in action, you see women of great strength. Their families can feel a spirit of love and respect and safety when they are near her [and] they are blessed by her wisdom and good judgment. The husbands and children, whose lives they bless, will contribute to the stability of societies all over this world. They know that the way they have chosen is not the easy way, but they know it is absolutely worth their finest efforts.  Surely when a woman reverences motherhood, her children will arise up and call her blessed (see Prov. 31:28).

Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. (The Joy of Womanhood, Margaret D. Nadauld)

Take 5

 

So here's 5 things you might not know about Julian:

1. He is very loving. If Tanner or I am laying on the couch he snuggles right by us. 

2. He loves to listen to Tanner's music. He'll turn it on & stay by the computer and listen for hours.

3. He like his soup blended. I think it's a texture thing.

4. He's terribly shy when it comes to group settings.

5. He loves Liam and River so much and calls Riv "sweety" most of the time. 

Julian is a good friend and I appreciate his pleasant nature. Much love to our cute little boy :)
