Labor Day

For Labor Day, we spent it with our usual tradition up at Browne Lake in the Uintas. Since it was shortly after Jared was lost, a lot of memories rushed in when we would go on drives and especially when we drove past the area we walked through the woods and searched for Jared. We were so glad we could go up there with peace of mind since he was found safe. If it had a different ending, it would have been so hard going up there!

Mya and Parker LOVED camping again. We did some fishing, hiking (hiking to kids....just little walks for us) and had tons of family time! I can't wait for it to warm up again so we can go camping in the spring or early summer!

With everyone up there, we played fun games around the campfire, did a shooting contest, and we also did a time capsule. That was fun seeing what everyone put in there and will be fun to open it again sometime.

Mya's Song

Mya's loves singing songs and today she's been busy singing and reading. Here's her song:

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
5 gold rings
3 calling birds
3 french hens
2 turtle doves
and a pear tree in a pear tree!

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
9 ladies dancing
8 maids
3 golden rings
3 calling birds
3 french hens
2 turtle doves
and a pear tree in a pear tree!

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
7 swans swimming
3 golden rings
3 calling birds
3 french hens
2 turtle doves
and a pear tridge in a pear tree

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
7, 8 ladies dancing
3 golden legs
3 calling birds
3 french hens
2 turtle doves
and a pear tridge in a pear tree!


(She had many more verses but these are the ones I wrote down.)
