Count your Blessings
Apr 18th
Sunday afternoon, sitting out on the back porch while my son plays in his “Johnny-Jump-Up” getting to reflect on what matters the most in life. Isn’t it interesting how less than ideal situations help us to realize the beaitiful things that we have. The sun begins to hang low in the sky and I have this for a view.
It helps me to understand how blessed I am, and how lucky I am to live in the country I live, work at the place I work, and most importantly have the spouse and family that are written about in fairy tales (without the talking mice or evil step-sisters). While one of our crazy cats runs across the back yard for no apparent reason and our dog plays with a toy I get to take a moment and take it the beauty of this life. Thank you for the interaction that each and everyone of you have in my life. It definitely makes it a life worth living.
Meanwhile, back at the Ranch..

We got done with lunch at Grandma’s so we headed out to the ranch to see the new baby goats. Rustyn even got to meet BBQ (the baby boy goat). TK is still very, very pregnant.
While Mom & Dad are away, Rustyn will Play.

Last weekend over Easter Amanda and I drove the youth of our ward up to Conference. We decided Rustyn need a whirlwind trip like that, so he stayed the night at Jennifer and Earl’s house until Grandma and Grandpa got home. Friday night Grandma and Grandpa got home, and had the weekend with Rustyn. My mom sent pictures throughout the weekend (below) to let us know how he was doing. We even Skyped him Saturday night when we got back from the Priesthood session. It was great to get back home and see him.
