ISLAND PARK

THIS PAST WEEKEND WE WENT TO ISLAND PARK TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH COLTEN AND MY FAMILY AT THE CABIN, WE HAD SOOOOOO MUCH FUN IT WAS HARD TO COME BACK TO WORK.

we left friday night picked up colten and went to my parents house, in the morning wes and my dad went to the police range to go shooting, they got to shoot all kinds of Awesome guns, a machine gun,

my mom, bryson, colten, avah and i went up to treasure mountain boy scout camp(ceader badge camp) to get jaymin. then we went to the cabin.

my dad, jaymin, bryson and wes had paintball wars the entire time! its fun that my little brothers love wes and look up to him. we did some shooting with the 22 rifle and the pistol.

on saturday night we were bar-b-q-ing and bryson wanted to light the grill so i went out there with him(to make sure everything went ok), he turned the gas on and turned on all 3 nosles and then tried to light the match after about 10 strikes and not being able to light it i asked if i could do it. so i light the match and put it in the grill and THEN BOOM there was a HUGE explosion my arm hair was burned off, part of my eye brows are singed and my bangs were singed; im so thankful tho that it was me and not bryson (he is in alstars baseball this summer and he would have died if he couldnt play ball).

sunday afternoon at 1 we left to come home to beautiful cache valley.

FAMILY

I got this as an email and liked it so i thought I'd post it.

F A M I L Y I ran into a stranger as he passed by, 'Oh excuse me please' was my reply. He said, 'Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you.' We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. 'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said,'While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse.. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.' By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed; 'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said. 'Are these the flowers you picked for me?' He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree.I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue.' I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.

He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway.' I said, 'Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'

FAMILY Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed,don't you think?

So what is behind the story?

Do you know what the word FAMILY means? FAMILY =
