Camping/family reunion continued

After the reunion we went to a small town about 10 miles up the road from where we were camping just to check it out. we all got a good laugh with some of the silly things we found to do. It was a fun little town.

Hughes family reunion/ camping

We went to red canyon to go camping and to the Hughes family reunion on Saturday. It was a ton of fun to see my family and spend time with them. My kids really liked the fact that they got to see the puppy & play with her before my parents gave it away. they also liked the DIRT. On Saturday we got up early and cooked 5 huge pots of sloppy joe meat to feed the everyone since we were in charge. I am glad that only happens every 11 years. Everyone ate, the kids played some fun games , and we ended the day a huge auction. Dennis & I bought some funky fuzzy candle holders, but it was for next years reunion so it was money well spent.

Help

Kolbie has figured out how to climb out of his crib and I don't know what to do. I have to put him back in bed several times every night and fight with him to get him into his crib and asleep. I don't think he is ready for a toddler bed, but I could be wrong. I am open to any suggestions or ideas. Help Please......I want to go to bed before 11 pm.

Thinking of you...

Never Ready to Say Goodbye



We're never ready to say goodbye
To someone we hold dear.
If it were up to us, dear Dad,
We'd always keep you here.
But God has reasons of His own
And plans we cannot know,
And these are always for our good,
Though it may seem not so.
Our arms are empty and our hearts
Are filled with tears and grief,
For we who loved each day with you,
Now find those days too brief.
Yet if we could only heaven see,
We'd know you're happy there,
And we would never call you back
When such great joy you share.
And so we'll trust you to God's great care
And know some day, once more,
We'll hold you to our hearts again
When we reach heaven's shore.



We are thinking of you, and I just wanted to say that we love and miss you dad/papa.
