Tell me the Secret

Hello again,
I have a question for all you mom experts out there. So, I will share a little conversation we had over here. Don't think worse of us, just know we are normal. :) Dustin is doing the dishes (love his dish habit!!!) And one of the kids wants to play with him. I tell him, "dishes can wait. at those pearly gates, Peter is not going to ask if your dishes were always clean." I said it with a smile, kind of joking-like. He said, "Well, if your house isn't clean, your kids aren't going to want to be here to be with you."

OK, so both good points. I agree with both. I am sure you are all thinking, "balance." But in those day to day decisions, how do you know what comes first? Mary, Martha. Play with kids, teach kids to clean house by example, etc etc.

I would love to hear your opinions on this when you get a minute.

I'm Baaaack!!

Sorry I have neglected you good Blog. You have been a good friend all this time; and here you sat, patiently waiting for the time when I would come use you again.

Here are just a few highlights from summer! See those tiny people? We did a hike up to Timpanogos cave. It was incredible, tough and very steep in places!! Here is where we brought the kids to be milked in the cow barn. Grandpa Johnson had many a milkin' cow in his day.

Here are some darling models we found to pose in front of the Utah red rock. This was at Arches National Park. Don't they make that shade of red just jump out at you?
