Arches National Park

We went on a little spring/winter hike through Arches (Moab, UT) We seriously live in such an awesome area! So much unique beauty around us, we can hardly get enough of it.

Basketball Babe

This was Allie's first year doing basketball. It was fun to watch the girls all line up to wait their turn and they would play with eachother's hair...haha. Girls are great!

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn.I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children.I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.
