Hiking Mt.Lassen
For the last couple of years when we visit my parents we spend at least part of one day hiking a trail on Mt. Lassen. As a kid I had gone there once for a field trip, but had never been back. We have enjoyed doing this ever time. Each year the kids are able to go a little farther and it is fun to see their progress from year to year. I really hope that they develop the same love I have for nature and being out in it.
Mill Creek Falls.
The kids and Dad pretending to be statues. Pappa had Trevor convinced that if they were statues Grandma and I couldn't see him. It was pretty funny. As you can see by the look on Heather's face...she isn't convinced. :)
Snow in August....who would have though. Only on a volcano. :)

Happy 4th Birthday Baby Boy
I know it's way late, but at least I'm getting Trevor's Birthday up here finally.
For Trevor's Birthday we went to the Train museum. Trevor loves trains and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Trevor requested a race car cake for his birthday and I did my best to oblige. I am no cake decorator, but I think I did a pretty good job, thanks to my mother who decorated cakes when we were growing up I picked up a thing or two.

Heather's Birthday
This year for Heather's Birthday we invited the girls from her Kindergarten class over for a pool party. They had fun swimming and hitting the Pinata.
Heather turned 6 this year.

"I Will be Found of You"
It was my turn to give the lesson in Relief Society today and I didn't get to read the story that I was hoping to close the lesson with, so I will share it with everyone on here.
"I Will be Found of You"
By Aaron L. West Curriculum Department, Liahona » 2010 » January
At the conclusion of our Sunday School lesson, Sister Hart asked us to turn to Jeremiah 29. She said she would read verses 12–14 aloud, and she asked us to ponder the meaning of the words.
“Then shall ye call upon me,” she read, “and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
“And I will be found of you, saith the Lord …”
Sister Hart went on, finishing verse 14, but my thoughts lingered happily behind, savoring the promise “I will be found of you.” I was reminded of the times when my wife, Emma, and I played hide-and-seek with our young children. When it was our turn to hide and their turn to seek, we always made ourselves easy to find. Sometimes we made noises or left a foot in plain view so they would find us quickly. Sometimes we hid in the same place repeatedly. We wanted the children to search for us, but we also wanted them to find us. We looked forward to their hugs and their joyful, unrestrained giggles of triumph.
This memory deepened my understanding of our Heavenly Father’s love for us. He wants us to search for Him, but He also wants us to find Him—He knows how happy we will be when we do. He does not try to trick us. Rather, He does all He can to help us know where and how to search: He gives us the scriptures, calls prophets, listens to our prayers, guides us by the power of the Holy Ghost, blesses us with temples and priesthood ordinances and family and friends. And if we have found Him somewhere once, we are sure to find Him there again if we are willing to renew our search.
“I will be found of you, saith the Lord.” What a comforting promise! In a world where trouble and temptations seem to find us so easily, it is reassuring to know that our greatest source of strength is so easy to find.
