Stand in the place where you Live

Went on a walk with the 3 littles on Sunday evening while Jimmy was at a fireside with Hannah & Abe. I want to remember our glorious trail in the neighborhood.

Mt. Timp… be still my heart! We loved when the beavers built their dams and the ponds had glorious amounts of water. The city came in and crashed the dams because some people with basements were getting flooded. Now the water is low and stinky and murky. But we still have some cool birds that show up occasionally to visit during their migration.

Liza and Truman loved the **SPARKLES** in the leaves and on the water from the sun. The **SPARKLES** even followed us along the path by the Jordan River (not to be confused with the River Jordan). Tru loved it. He also found the best stick to carry on our walk.

We are so blessed to live in a beautiful place!

p.s. the best parts of the walk were the funny comments from the kiddos…

liza: home again home again jiggity jig
truman: home sweet home
mom: Where did you hear about home sweet home?
Truman: From Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2

Liza’s joke:
knock-knock.
who’s there.
chicken crossed the road.
haha.

max is terrified of dogs.
he was very scared whenever we’d meet with a puppy on the trail.
He said over and over to himself
“think like nephi.
think like nephi.
think like nephi.
… i had courage!”
