Run for the Summit

l



Summit Elementary held the greatest fund raiser this year. The kids found sponsors and set a goal to run a certain distance at the "Fun Run" in return for a pledged donation. G was very enthusiastic and raised $120 for his school then met his goal of running 2.5 miles in 45 miles. It turned out to be a really hot day, but he managed to complete his run. H ran part of the distance with him to encourage him to keep going. Way to go!!!

God is Good!

Hubby and I had a fabulous time at the "Nashville Tribute" concert last night! It is one of the most powerful testimonials of Joseph Smith and the Pioneers I have ever witnessed. If you haven't heard of them, you can check out their website at http://www.nashvilletribute.com. There's samples of the music there and a show schedule. They will be performing in the Salt Lake Tabernacle on Oct. 7. I would so highly recommend it to all! It is a performance that will uplift like nothing else. Your spirit will be energized and your heart uplifited. Their song "God is Good" says it all!






The popular group "DueWest" is part of this group and I really love their music too. It is 4 LDS men who made a pact to always use their music to express the values they hold dear. Jason Deere who is the lead singer and songwriter of Nashville Tribute is their producer. You may have heard their song that is on the GAC Top 20 right now "I Get That All The Time".
You can see more of them at DueWest.com. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

On the Horizon

This evening after a quick storm, we were graced with an amazing double rainbow to the east. I ran out with my camera and took a few shots before turning to look to the west. There was a glorious sunset! We have some really amazing sunsets here, but this one was breathtaking!

This Place We Live

This morning I set out on my bike ride and had to turn back for my camera! Look at these clouds! It was an absolutely amazing day! Many of the farmers are cutting the hay now and the corn is taller than me. We are truly so blessed to live in this place of abundant beauty. I was totally in my element, nose to the camera, then looked down to see that I had attracted a massive amount of burrs on my pants!!! That was a drain of my patience to pick all of them off. It was worth it though to have these images. Don't ya think? Oh, and I was just wondering, can I have 6 more months of days like this? It ended on a rather splendid note too!

Speechless

I really have no words...

Put some "Labor" in this day!

Today was labor day. The kids really tried to convince us that Labor day is NOT about performing labor! H says its a holiday. Duh! We all know you work, work, work on labor day, right? That's mostly what we did. Washed windows, dejunked the mudroom, pulled weeds, picked up litter along the road... Troy and Jamie were our saving grace. They brought food over and grilled hamburgers for the tired and over-worked! (Yeah right!)
