Warmed my heart!

To some this may be an everyday occurrence. However, at our house you rarely see two brothers getting along and helping each other! Bryson has recently figured out how to solve the Rubik's Cube. He is totally obsessed with it! I myself was never able to solve the thing, unless you count taking the stickers off and putting them back on! (According to my brilliant 12 year old son, this ruins the cube and should NEVER be done! Well, duh!) Anyway, so McKay just got a new cube as his old one was thrown across the kitchen by his younger brother and was broken. See what I mean about brothers not getting along? Well, last night Bryson had barely finished eating dinner and he started teaching McKay how to solve the cube. I looked up to this scene and stared in wonder for a minute before I realized this must be documented for posterity! It truly warmed my heart!

Goblin Valley

For Fall break we took a trip down south to Goblin Valley. We went with both sets of parents and Bryce's sister Julie and their family. We had a blast! The kids loved the "Goblins" and exploring them. We camped out in the desert, and the kids loved roaming and exploring! We also took a hike up Little Wild Horse Canyon. It was very cool! Even Libby was able to walk most of it! Here are some pictures of our adventures!
