TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!

my little firefighters!!!

we have Jacob and David staying with us this week (forever) and David fell asleep so i didn't get him in action. Jacob and Daniel though did not disappoint though.......they have had a great time this past week saving this house from fire; more often with more dramatics but still aren't they still the best looking firefighters you ever saw.

Daniels' summer in a nut shell!

Michigan Trip

I didn't take pics of our "Michigan Trip." these are the three that were on my camera. The pictures I took were on my phone to instantly send with Steve and will see if I can get those uploaded soon. This is the arch when were crossing the state line. The middle is Navuoo Temple and the third is the funniest sign. i tried to take the restrooms home with me.......didn't work.

this is well said.............

steve has thankfully never seen battle but this poem is still well said.
The Final Inspection

The soldier stood and faced his God,Which must always come to pass;He hoped his shoes were shining bright,Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, soldier,How shall I deal with you?Have you turned the other cheek?To my church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,"No, Lord, I guess I ain't;Because those of us who carry guns,Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,And at times my talk was rough;I've had to break your rules my Lord,Because the world is awfully tough.
But, I never took a thingThat wasn't mine to keep;Though I worked a lot of overtime,When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,Though at times I shook with fear;And sometimes ... God forgive me,I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a placeAmong the people here;They never wanted me around,Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,It needn't be so grand;I never expected or had too much,But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,Where the saints often trod;As the soldier waited quietly,For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, soldier,You've borne your burdens well;Come walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,You've done your time in HELL!"~ Author Unknown ~
