Another day has come and gone and there is always something to write about, but yesterday was a fun day to remember. As most of you know the whole neighborhood has sold their homes and they are all getting ready to move out. Kelton and I felt like baking a huge batch of chocolate chip cookies to take to the neighbors with thank you cards. As the cookies were baking and the smell of chocolate was in the air I couldn't help but think of our new home. We will miss it here, but we are greatful for where we are headed. We visited our old bishop down the road, our new next door neighbor, and even people walking by got to try Kelton's delicious cookies. Our favorite visit was across the street to a college kid who we heard was injured in a motorcycle accident at the sand dunes and broke his back. We did not know who he was,but thought he might enjoy some yummy cookies. As Kelton and I crossed the street and approached the door he gently knocked. "Come in" said a silent voice. We said we were there to see a kid named Clay, but we were not sure who he was. As he tried to lift his head up off of the couch he began to smile. "I am Clay." "We heard you were injured and thought these cookies might make you feel a little better." I don't think I have ever seen a person so greatful for something in my life. As we left I felt HAPPY! Happy to know that we made someone else feel just a little bit better today. I think Kelton learned an important lesson about serving others. I learned a lesson about how chocolate makes people happy. How the little things in life make people smile. It was a great day. We finished the day off with a fun walk around the park with Cooper in his new little stroller (thanks to my wonderful hubby), Nicole, and Dottie. Kelton flew his kite and Carson tried to tire Nicoles little dog out, but instead it sure tired Carson out. Brian was busy at school learning important things about machine work??????? Little things.....that is what life is about!MY NEW FAVORITE TOY. I LOVE MY STROLLER....IT ROCKS!

It's always a SAD DAY to say goodbye BUT, what a great thing you did for others. And I'm almost POSITIVE it wasn't the chocolate they loved (am I saying that?!) but your kindness in thinking and giving to them. What a GREAT DAY you had - I should have stuck around for the final product! Way to go family - so proud of you guys!
PS Love the stroller/jogger/walker/jet-mobile!
stoked to know you found me! you probably didn't know i have been checking in on you occasionally for a few weeks.
i saw you booking it down the hill the other day with your baby in his super cool buggie. you guys always have the grooviest gear! and you are so groovy at running!
I want to be like you when I grow up! What a fun mom you are. 'You gotta practice what you preach' and doing service and good things with your children instead of telling them and preaching to them all the time speaks much louder than words. I love it!
Your stroller by the way is super fast and RAD! Im jelous. Do you love it? We need to buy one soon. Did you get a good deal? Schuy is tech guy and must have the best one so I dont know what we will end up with.
P.S. We will have to go running next time im up. What day are you moving again?
