Dino-land Adventure


Took Ty on a little climb. I use to love climbing when I was young.
If you look close you can see Rex and Ty looking for pictures of lizards carved into the mountain.
Here are my Dino's!
There isn't anything better for me than to be with my family. The boys are a hoot and dad is always there to help make things fun. The boys recently said "dad teaches us to be funny". Then Rex asked them "...what does mom teach you?" They replied "...mom teaches us to be nice." I guess that is us in a nut shell.

Fall 2011

Boybies with Pead cousins.

Wolf


Tyler has enjoyed every second of boy scouts this past year. He has worked hard and loved it. He not only got his wolf within 7 months, but got every arrowhead point he could. He would go through the book and work on every requirement possible.

Our Pioneer Trek

Ma and Pa Jackson
Our "Pioneer Family"
So Rex and I embarked on something new this summer. The Pioneer Trek. I wanted to go so badly when I first heard our stake was going and now I am thankful we got to go. It stretched us in unthinkable ways. Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually. We left literally with no home to come back to as we had just sold our home and had not closed on a new one. It seemed like a journey that took weeks instead of days. I know now just a little bit about the sacrifice and hardships of my ancestor's. These devoted people loved God more than I ever knew. I learned there is a well of strength within us that is unknown until we have dig deep. The deeper I dug the more I realized the Lord never leaves us. He gives us what we need when we need it if we are willing to rely on him.

The Zoo in 2011!

All the Walker cousins.
I don't have a sweet little girl. But I love these cuties just like they were.
Terry showing off.
Isaak loves the baby animals.
Noah was brave and gave the bird a dollar.
The start of a fun day.
Tyler and his favorite dinosaur. The T-Rex of course.
