"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

IDAHO...(again)

After Steve headed back up to Canada, Maddie and I stayed in Idaho for the week (seems like our second...third...or fourth home...maybe we should settle down). My sister had a work conference that she had to go to for three days, so we hung out with her kids while she was gone (and her hubby...sounds weird, but totally not if you know her husband, Adam...coolest brother-in-law EVER). We didn't do too much, mostly scrapbooked and ate brownies for breakfast. lunch and dinner. Oh, and we did hung out with the kids after school too, but only after we ate brownies, of course. On Thursday night, we took them back to Utah, to grandma's and my sister met us there on Friday afternoon.

Maddie looks a little disgusted at how disorganized Connor's closet is. She acts like it has cooties or something. Can someone tell her to hold off on the attitude?

Don't mind the big wod of hair in my face. It was my only picture of us!

Connor looking a little annoyed that Maddie has to always strum along while he is playing guitar. Sorry Connor, Maddie is just so good already that she is trying to give you a lesson if you'd just pay attention..ha ha.
