San Antonio 2015

We headed down to Austin and then San Antonio to pick McKinley up from EFY and decided to spend a few days seeing the sights and making a mini-vacation out of it.  Reagan was happy that we started our road trip off with a breakfast stop at Cracker Barrel.  She like the mini-bottles of syrup.

 We enjoyed Kayaking in Austin.  I wish I had gotten a picture of us actually IN the kayaks but I had tucked my phone away to keep it from getting wet.  this was after we returned.  
 We toured the Capitol in Austin.  Reagan wanted a picture in front of the "Reagan building".
 I just have to say, the Texas state Capitol is absolutely beautiful.  My iphone doesn't do it justice.










 Then we were off to San Antonio.  First stop was Fiesta Texas.  Reagan grabbed a turkey leg for lunch.

 Had fun at the water park there as well.
 Toured the Alamo.

 And Ripley's believe it or not.   





 We wore this girl out.Can you tell? 
 On the way home, we had to stop in Waco and visit my favorite tv show's (Fixer upper) gift shop.  
  

 Such a fun week.  But man,it felt so good to sleep in my own bed last night.

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who ...

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown
