My Full House

Some days I'm overwhelmed with the activities and chaos associated with having 5 children. Some days I'm overwhelmed with the pure joy and love associated with having 5 children. I never knew my heart could hold so much.

Above is a picture taken in Steve's Grandma's pasture behind their house in Peterson, Utah. It is a beautiful place. Kids are welcome to explore and play here. There are hiding places, swings, campfires, and all the good stuff that comes with an old farm. Of course, the kids loved it! It reminds me of a place several hundred miles away. My Grandma & Grandpa's house in California. The scenery is a little different, but the feeling is the same. Freedom to be a kid, to get lost for hours in make believe, to be loved. I hope one day my grandchildren can come to my house wherever it ends up being and enjoy these same feelings.
