One Year Mark (mostly for Jill)
Found this poem here which is a great gift idea. (Jill- I think we should get one for all the kids for the year mark) It was written by a son who lost his father to cancer.
Cancer just sucks..
If my Father were here
He’d show us this
That true love is found
In a family kiss
That a hug must come freely
That a smile leaves a mark
That a quarrel long forgotten
Must remain in the dark
If he were here with us now
He would teach us by deed
How to give oft in silence
To those so in need
How to walk through life proudly
With our heads pointed high
Hold regret a mere moment
And then let it pass by
If my Father were here
On this sad and gray day
He would give us “that look”
Then know just what to say
He would smile at us brightly
Make us laugh on a dime
Tell us just what will heal us
Family… and time
But wait, he is with us
He will always be with us
Though his body will rest
In a safe space below
He’ll continue to guide us
And he wants us to know
That although he is absent
He’ll continue his love
And he’ll visit us daily
From his home up above
And we’ll see him again, but until we do, Let us honor his memory
Let us treasure his memory.
Let us never forget that the only things
which mattered to him, were not actually things
But instead, the souls of those
of us here today, and those in his heart, which are not.

This is seriously wrong!!
After reading MSNBC that the Duggars are expecting thier 19th child, yep that's right 19th child it made me through up a bit in my mouth! I've been disgusted all day that these peeps are going to have 19 children! I know I'm not a mother, but can you physically, mentally, emotionally and financially give the proper care to 19 children??
Mama Wheat in Town
Ben's mom was in town for a whole week! We had a great time, sure wish she lived in SLC:(
We dragged mama wheat up to wasatch state park to camp in the cub. (ben and his family grew up camping at wasatch state park for a couple of weeks a summer) It was nice taking her down memory lane, and not to mention show off the trailer!
1-Me discovering the cub's AC! It was pretty hard for me to leave the trailer with the cranking AC.
2-An unsuccessful attempt to have a fun filled day at Jordanelle
3-BW's Bday! and his lovely phrase ALL weekend "It's my birthday weekend" this was his phrase to have everything his way. (not my idea of fun)
4-Pete and Tim, enough said..I've never laughed soo hard! It's really like hanging out with immature teenagers, but highly entertaining.
5-My amazement at how momma wheat loves her miller lite:)
6-REI lounge chairs.
7-Grandma backing up the big dodge while grandpa smokes a cig guiding her in.
8-People watching, people watching!
9-Seeing mama wheat ride a bike for the first time in what she claims 20 years!
10-Seeing Pete ride a bike and calling the night short due to exhaustion from riding 2 miles.
11-Big dinner at the Harry's with the combined families! ahhhh.
It was a great weekend. Pics to come.

Sistas
I love this pic..
My little sis is packing her bags for LA. She's 3 months shy of 19 and well on her way to the big city. Hay Hay is paving the path for her dancing career. She has an AMAZING talent that she's brave enough to chase. I'm really going to miss her:( It's going to be a great experience for her and I can't wait to be the big sis and help her along the way!

Tour of Utah!
Everyone should support this event! It's becoming a more and more competitive race in the cycling world. Be on the look out for hot professional cyclist on the road this week and next. I especially love the Friday night event and the Saturday morning finish up little cottonwood canyon. My sis and I are considering climbing little cottonwood Saturday morning before all the pros come through. Any takers??
