Love One Another

I love the song Love One Another. When Taylor (my first born) was two years old he started getting out of bed, after we put him in. So I started a bed time routine. This way he will know it's time to go to bed and that he will more likely stay in bed. At least that was the plan. Part of the routine was singing a few songs. I am not a singer but it somehow worked. Now three children later (all boys) I am still singing a song to them each night.

I love the song Love One Another. I always feel the spirit and love of my Savior when I sing the part "as I have loved you, love one another." I know the Lord loves me. I know it better then I know anything else in my life.

What can be better in life then helping someone else. I believe there is no greater action then serving on another. If I were to compare every great thing done in the whole history of the Earth, service to another human is by fare the greatest of all accomplishments.

I personally believe with every interaction with someone else I either leave them better or worse then before I met them. Yes yes I am an all or nothing. My husband says, "it's not always black or white." I disagree! Even in this situation.

For example, if I passed by someone on the street without speaking and he didn't even look up from his shoes. I bet he felt uncomfortable for the whole 10 seconds it took to pass by me. I believe, I just knock him down just a little bit. What if I simple said "hi." No smile or anything bigger then just saying "hi." He/She would no longer feel out of place. Even maybe feel excepted by me. My point... I have then done the greatest good I could on this earth. I have serviced, by loving on another.

Most the time I don' t know how to help thows around me. I am trying to develop a talking talent. BUT for now there is someone I want you all to meet. Her name is Molly and earlier this years her only daughter (Lucy) chocked on an apple and died. It was only May when she died. Just 3 months ago. Threw this tragedy she is helping hundreds of people everyday. Here is here link to here blog...

My favorite part of reading her blog are the comments. Hundreds of people, that Molly doesn't even know, read her words and are strengthened. To give you a better perspective of how many people she has touched. We were eating lunch in Randolph and a friend came up to us to comment to Aaron how much Molly has touched their hearts. We were so surprised that he knew Molly. He said he didn't. His daughter and wife showed him the blog and where Aaron's had given Molly some up lifting words. Aaron's name was included. So he just came over to tell us how much Molly's blog has meant to his daughter and wife. I had to go check out the comments from the all the different people. I want to see how many people know Molly and how many don't. You will have to see for your self. I'm amazed at the effect her words have on so many people. What a talent! To move people to tiers. People that don't even know her. She gives them a better outlook on life. She gives them a loving attitude. She gives them a mom that understands. She gives them hope and dark days. She gives them just what they needed that day. The list goes on and on. These people are touched.

I really can not believe the talent and effect Molly has had so many people. Those are just the ones that comment. I bet 5X as many people read it and not comment. Service to another, is by fare the greatest of all accomplishments.

"wow"

"tiiiiiiimmmmmmbererererers"

Mom needs a better view out of her window so she asked Josh and Chad to come help. I heard about the event and stayed to watch. First Josh brought his climbing equipment and strapped Chad into a harness of some kind. Then hosted Chad into the air with a chain saw and a bow saw strapped to him. When he got to the branch that needed to be cut he whipped out a saw and cut it down. At one point they tried to get Chad to pull himself up a rope to a higher branch, but Chad's biceps just couldn't do it.

"trust me Chad, I got you, just let go."

After all the trees were down, Josh set us up with the GREATEST TREE SWING EVER. Here are the pictures from the event.

ONE ...........TWO...........THREE............ JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't get a grip with having no shoes on. So look how I am hanging onto the swing... I tried to dismount but failed and the swing drug me back out. It is so much fun I can't wait until we play on it next time we come to visit. It would be the most perfect swing in the world if there was water to fall into. Right ! ? ! ?


Cameron went on the swing before I did. When it was my turn it looked really scary. I had to remember that even Cameron did it and he did just fine. Cameron is really a brave soul.

Rachel and Bella came to visit

Bella is 6 months old now and rolling all over the place. It was a real treat to have Rachel around. All three boys really loved Bella and created a relationship with her, because she was here for a whole week. All three boys were soft and loving towards here the whole time. I was so glad.

Hull Cousin Weekend

Taylor, Cameron, Mason, and I had so much fun with all the family that came to play. We have fun all summer long at Bear Lake, but when we have great people to play with, it creates memories that will never be forgotten.
Thanks for coming to play!

The cousins weekend at Bear Lake was a great success. Everyone I think had a lot of fun. We sure did. We first play long and hard at Bear Lake. Then we had a treasure hunt around the neighborhood, which ended in the back yard. We had buckets of water balloons and ice-cream. Thanks for coming up to play with us. Please feel welcome to come again, summer or winter.

Zach, Scott, Taylor, and Cameron all slept in a tent in the back yard that night. While the rest of us were inside.
Each of the kids went home with a Bear Lake sandy mold of their foot. All but Sutton, she was a little scared but loved the sand at the lake. She just thought the sand needed to stay at the lake.

Pioneer Trek from Nebraska to Utah

We had a lot of fun. I learned a lot of details about the pioneers and I also learned why they did what they did. Why it is important for me to understand their stories. And How I should be living my life. I wish I could explain it or even a small parts to you. It had a huge impact on how I view myself and my life. I totally recommend it to everyone. I just can't do my feelings and understanding justice in words. I can only say I know the Lord is very aware of me and he was very very aware of each pioneer. If I could have that same relationship with my Lord that the pioneers had I too would die of starvation or being frozen. In many ways my life is harder. I'm scared because Taylor, Cameron, and Mason's will face more than I have to or had to. They will have to be strong all the days of their life, not just the 90 days it took to get across the plains.

We had people that set up our tents before we would get there. We had a cooking crew. We had a toilet crew. We even had people carry our bags if we needed them and we drove around in air conditioned SUVs. Very nice trip.
We met lot of good people and a few good friends. Hopefully we can stay in touch with them for many many years.
Here we are at the Parting Of The Ways. I am going to Oregon and Aaron is going to Utah.

This trip could only happen once in a career. A BIG "thank you" goes out to my mom, for watching our boys on Monday and Tuesday. AND a BIG "thank you goes out to Stephanie for taking the rest of the week. Carol helped too, thank you too.
