Utah Lake fishing/sleeping trip

Dean, T and sister C went out on Utah Lake for the day.  We were going to take turns and have me go out as well, but they were having so much fun I just couldn't break that up.
Mr. Little and I spent the day on the beach and then in the rocks.  He played very hard, but when it was time to go to sleep he was excited to finally get to sleep in Gma's Van, something they had been talking about for months.
Gma has put the bed up and taken it down four times as we build, then need to travel, then down to build something more.  This time it stays, except when we finally get around to painting it.

Education Week 2019

Oh, how I miss the electricity in the van.  No taming that hair without it.


We were excited to be able to attend BYU Education Week this year.  This was Dean's first time and we got to try out the van for our second week in it.

Just prior to the week, we received our mission calls to join our friends the Lisonbee's on a mission with Pathway.  We met Lowry's and got a bit of training.

Feasting on the word and moving forward to serve.

Trip close to home

Oak City Days was a great excuse to bring my girls home, and home is relative - because home for J is Ashton's Meats.

Our local children come home each year to help carry the Moonlighters through the dance on Saturday night each year.

I's so proud of these guys talent and their willingness to share it with others.  The Oak City Days Dance is such a fun event.  I wish every town, everywhere, could have this tradition.

Floor in today

I never ever.... no wait I did!  I put a floor under three 100 pound batteries tied together next to an inverter tied to a bed.  My daddy would be proud... or mad I didnt just undo the cables (but I cant afford to mess up the electrical nor do I think I'm strong enough to dead weight lift them out of the hole).

I ended up lifting each battery up just enough to slide the flooring underneath it and snap it into place.  It took a fair amount of time, but was able to get all locking pieces of the floor together exactly.

Never let an opportunity to take a photo go by because you should dust off the batteries first.  LOL
