EXPLORE YOUR WORLD

Guess what?!  Amy and I have walked about 350 miles in the past 2 1/2 months!!!!  We are so excited about our accomplishment!  We try to walk 5 times a week 4-5 miles per day.  It's super fun!  And I love that our exercising is good for us: physically and emotionally and spiritually.  We have long, wonderful talks!  We plan our church lessons and help each other with parenting dilemmas, etc.  Exercise and friendship are a great "fit!"  And add a beautiful walking park - it's GREAT for the soul!  We also see lots of great critters at our "place!"

For the Beauty of the Earth

We saw about 6 deer on our walk the other night....

How cute, and tiny is this little frog?!

And this happy turtle was about the size of my hand.

We walked even farther

- and found this amazing train bridge.

So cool!

And I got new walking shoes!

I made a pie for the Sister missionaries on Tuesday.  Amy gave me an EASY recipe.  It was a TOTAL hit!

Lemon Icebox Pie

Combine 8 oz. softened cream cheese, 8 oz. Cool Whip,

14 oz. sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and

1 tsp. vanilla extract.  Mix until smooth.

Pour into a pre-made Graham cracker crust.

Put in the fridge to set.  YUM!

And I got another adorable picture from Trek!  Thank goodness for people who take pics and give them to me!  I love this picture of my baby and her best friend!

Key Lime Pie completed Pathway this week!  I'm soooooooooo proud of her!  And she graduated with an A+ average!  And in one month she'll be at BYU-I!  Look at her graduating Pathway group (minus a couple who moved away)

And she's still enjoying her job at the dentist office as a sterilization tech (Steri-Tech).  She's a cutie:

And her hair has already grown long enough to put up:

I miss my oldest baby girl!  But I am enjoying the one at home!  She and I are re-watching The Mentalist together as I type this post!  I'm glad we can share this fun entertainment together!

BTW - We could really use prayers for Scott.  He's having surgery on Tuesday for his herniated discs in his neck.  I'll post pictures and updates.... 😉
