"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Journey to Idaho...

We ventured over to Grangeville, Idaho for the Fourth of July again this year. It is such a fun small town and we love being 'off the grid' and out of cell phone reception for a few days! We started our annual adventure on Thursday July 2nd. We packed a lunch, instead of stopping for fast food like we usually do on road trips-- oh how our parents would be proud! We found this cute little park in the town of Colfax, Washington and enjoyed the shade and old playground equipment! The kids thought the huge metal slide was amazing and were intrigued by the medal teter-totters! Fun, fun!
