LIVE EACH DAY...

Live each day to the fullest.

 Get the most from each hour, each day,

and each age of your life.

  Then you can look forward with confidence,

and back without regrets.

Be yourself--but be your best self.

Dare to be different and to follow your own star.

And don't be afraid to be happy.

Enjoy what is beautiful.

Love with all your heart and soul.

Believe that those you love, love you.

Learn to forgive yourself for your faults,

for this is the first step

in learning to forgive others.

Listen to those whom the world

may consider uninteresting, for each person has,

in himself, something of worth.

Disregard what the world owes you,

and concentrate on what you owe the world.

Forget what you have done for your friends,

and remember what they have done for you.

No matter how troublesome the cares of life

may seem to you at times,

this is still a beautiful world...

and you are at home in it,

as a child is at home in his father's house.

When you are faced with a decision,

make that decision as wisely as possible--

then forget it!

The moment of absolute certainty

never arrives.

Above all, remember that God helps those

who help themselves.

Act as if everything depended upon you,

and pray as if everything depended upon God.

News From Down South

We have had a couple of fun things going on down in Pine Valley first and most exciting is we are expecting another little cowBOY to enter our family September 6th!  We had our first ultra sound and were relieved to find that the baby is growing healthy and strong!  We feel so blessed and happy!

The second fun thing is that Matt and I where able to go to Washington D.C. for a week with about 30 other couples from all over Utah as part of the Utah Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers.  The Farm Bureau is a lobbying agency for agriculture.  We felt so blessed to see our nations capital and see all of the amazing history there.  We also were able to meet with our Utah Senators and talk with them about issues we were concerned about.  Sorry Grandpa but we didn't get to see the President to pass on your advice,  he may have been hiding out when he heard a bunch of Utah Farmers and Ranchers where coming to town!  We were a little out of place in the big city with our cowboy hats and wranglers there was more than a couple stares and everyone wanted to know if we were from Texas.  We had to inform them that Texas isn't the only place a cowboy lives!

We are on our way to tour the Capital.  Behind us is a replica of Lady Freedom she stands on the top of the capital.  We toured the capital the day Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to congress.  There was a lot of excitement and security because of this. 

This was George Washington's pew at the Church of Christ.  He had to pay a yearly rent to keep this pew, he must have paid good because it still has his name on it:)

Mount Vernon, George Washington's plantation his home is in the background.

Ford's Theatre where President Lincoln was assassinated.

The tomb of the unknown solider at Arlington.  We were able to see the changing of the guard and our group was able to put a new wreath out.

Gail Knight and Linda Nelson

Gail Knight and Linda Nelson

The following picture of cousins, Gail Knight and Linda Nelson, was taken in 1966,  when they were two beautiful little girls.  I am not sure where the picture was taken.  If you know, please let me know.

They love to get together still.  I believe Linda and Gail had a "get together" in Salt lake City Friday March  13, 2015.   Gail is now 54 and Linda is 53 years old. Gail was born July 7, 1961.  Linda was born August 7, 1962.  When they get together, they have many memories to recall and things to share. 

Blake and Amanda are Parents

Jensen Paul and Everett Floyd were born at 10:31 pm on February 17th, 2015. Born at 30 weeks. 
Everyone is doing good. Jensen needed help breathing for a while but now they are both just on a little oxygen. 
Amanda'll be in hospital for a few days. Babies should be here over a month.

Blake and Amanda 5th Anniversary California Trip PLUS Subtle Announcement (last two pictures)

For our fifth anniversary, I wanted to do something special.  I decided that a road trip to California would be super fun and also inexpensive.  Priuses are amazing for road trips, we barely spent over $100 on gas for the whole trip.  Add to that the employee discount we got at our Fairfield Inn, no eating out since we had free breakfasts and a microwave and mini fridge in our room, cheap tickets for Disneyland's Halloween Party, and only a small amount of souveniers, we made off very well on this vacation.  Plus I don't even feel like we had to compromise.  We had a fantastic time.

We left at around 4:30am on Friday the 17th.  I'm glad we did because we were able to make it to our hotel by 3:30pm and had plenty of time to settle in, go grocery shopping, and spend some time at the pool.

On Saturday we started the day with a hike.  We found the Dripping Cave trail, a nice hike that was a good enough workout without being enough to make us hate the next few days.  Later in the day we went to Salt Creek Beach to watch the sunset.  It was so nice to be at the ocean again.

We had our first snorkeling trip on Sunday.  We went to Crescent Bay Beach.  I have to say that I don't like snorkeling in California nearly as much as I like snorkeling in Hawaii.  Maybe we just hit it at a bad time, but the water was less calm, and there wasn't very much wildlife.  We also stopped by the Pacific Marine Mammal Center, which is a place where they rehabilitate injured seals and then release them back into the wild.  They were so cute and fun to watch.

On Monday we visited Huntington Beach and took a walk on the pier.  It was a very fun little surfer spot.  After that we stopped by the big mall called Fashion Island in Newport Beach.  There is a Tesla showroom there that Blake was excited to see.  It was a huge mall with lots of fancy stores.  We had fun wandering around window shopping.

Tuesday was an interesting day.  We drove to the San Diego area to do some things down that way.  It started out great with a visit to see the 'Disney princess castle' aka the San Diego LDS temple.  It is such a pretty temple.  After that things didn't go so well.  I have always wanted to swim with sharks of the less harmful variety, and I was excited to find a beach in California where you can often do that.  It's called La Jolla Shores and it is supposedly filled with leopard sharks, which are basically harmless bottomfeeders, but sharks nonetheless.  Unfortunately, there were apparently storm surges in California this week due to that hurricane near Hawaii, and the waves here were pretty big.  We knew we could handle them but were feeling a bit hesitant.  We finally worked up the courage to move out into the water.  When we got to the point where the waves were breaking the worst, I got hit by a big wave that pulled my snorkel and mask off to the side and got me a good breath of water.  I already hate waves and so that made me feel upset and slightly panicky.  I got out past the break and calmed myself down mostly, but of course there were still waves coming.  We snorkeled for a while, but the waves were making visibility very bad.  We saw a stingray and a bunch of teeny fish, but no sharks.  After a while I was feeling too uncomfortable with the waves and low visibility and decided to call it quits.  Luckily we made it in to shore much easier than our way out.  So after that disappointing snorkel, we drove to what was supposed to be one of the best tide pools and got there right before low tide.  Unfortunately, the storm surge struck again and we were hardly able to see anything at all.  So we went home defeated and looked forward to the next day, which was definitely going to be much better.

Wednesday was Disney day!  We decided to buy tickets to Mickey's Halloween Party instead of one day passes because they were much cheaper and we still got to be there for 8 hours.  We went early and spent some time at Downtown Disney before we were allowed to enter Disneyland.  The lines were not bad at all and we got to do everything we wanted to do.  I was so happy to be there!  Disneyland is probably my favorite place in the world.

Dole Whips are the best treat at Disney!

I love Haunted Mansion Holiday even more than the original!

 

According to California, going to Disneyland will give you cancer.  And so will.... pretty much everything ever.

Blake's Favorite Ride: The air conditioned shuttle bus back to the car at the end of the day. Well worth the wait.

Thursday was our last day.  We were very tired and had sore feet from our day at Disney, so we spent a few hours relaxing and swimming at the pool.  In the evening we went back to Crescent Bay Beach to take some anniversary pictures and watch the sunset.  I think they turned out pretty good for self-timer photos. :)
