WITH GLOWING HEARTS!!!

We started summer off with a bang! It was so much fun to be at Echo Lake with Brian's family. I made this cake to celebrate CANADA DAY! Even though we were in the states we sang our Anthem and set off a bunch of firecrackers! Will was really into it this year, which of course makes a Mother very nervous. No major damage done, except for a few sore fingers (minor burns).

I love everything about living in CANADA, my "True North Strong and Free!" I feel that our time in the United States taught us much and I have my dear friends to thank for their fine examples of patriotism. So many times I was amazed at the respect and love that Americans have for their country. I love that I have two little Americans in my home, the 4th brings back many memories of our time in the US with such wonderful people.

Here are a few pictures of our fun week at the Lake and all that we did together.
to name a few:
we caught turtles
played games
ate a lot of junk!!!
went shopping
ate ice cream (every night)
went waterskiing, kneeboarding and tubing
jumped on the trampoline
filled water balloons
set off firecrackers
visited with family
read stories
made memories .....we love echo lake!

  Tender Mercy 08.14.2019 Our dear friend David Higginson who was a missionary in our Ward a few years before Will got his call was so kind to clear his schedule to meet Will at the SLC airport, take him out for lunch and then drop him off at the MTC. Here is what he posted about the experience: This is Will Boehme, I met him while I was serving my mission in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada. I had the opportunity today to take Will into the MTC today so that he can prepare for his own mission in Scottsdale, AZ. This is special because August 14th marks another year gone that I began and ended my own mission. . . and it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the experiences I had or the people, like Will and his family, that I met. Amazing how time flies. Good lucky buddy! It really was a tender mercy for us to know that Will wasn't alone as he entered the MTC.  He had a friend who really went the extra mile to feed him, calm his nerves and put a loving arm of encouragement arou

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray
