Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.

Thanks to all our friends and fam for responding-I can honestly say that blogging could be a "fun" thing for me! If I can get it all down-wish me well. We have had a busy week-flag football is over and fun it was!! Sethy's team won I have some cute pictures of Seth he is very animated to say the least. Chris is relieved to have it over- it is lots of work for him. Tai is wrapping up his season. Halloween is just around the corner so all post some of our pictures.

We're Back!!!



Hello Friends and Family!
Mel has been helping me with my blog- that will be the difference in my blogging skills ha .
I will update you on our life since I last blogged. We celebrated Luke's 3rd B-day he is a spiderman junky so we had a spider cake and spider cupcakes. He had a party at our house with grandparents and Champ (He loves Champ)-we love Ike and Tiff too.
From there we jumped right into the Castle Valley Pageant. Bet was Bessie and thought it fantastic to be a main character in one of
the families. She had a super experience, even though Dingus her favorite horse stepped on her foot. After some TLC and a couple days she was good to go. Thank you grandpa Mark for all your hard work and encouraging us to do it because sometimes we would quit.
We are not campers to say the least so in mid-August we created the "Justice Camping style". We went boating to Huntington Lake and stayed in our tent for the night. It was fun. We told scary stories and also got to do one of our families favorite things boat!! Dek got up on skis that time. Dad mastered his 360 turn on the knee board. We boated until the 2nd week in Sept. That time it was a bit nippy.
School started on the 19th of Aug. We have four at the elementary wow! Make that 5 I am there too as the Librarian. It is o.k. but nice to be there with the kids. I love Dek coming in at lunch recess.
We joke that in the fall we worship two gods the 2nd being football. Yes we play football, watch it, cheer it, go to games, and chris coaches 3teams between the boys. It is fun. Seth is cut as a flag puller, Dek is a bit intense, Tai is QB and very goal oriented, & Luke walks around saying "BYU, BYU." Bet and I love it too. Dave blocks for BEt so she will occasionally score in our backyard games.
Fall is great...our garden gave us wonderful tomatoes, squash, cucumbers,beans, peppers, berries, and now pumpkins!! We have been blessed. We have wonderful friends and family to support us and many blessings . Honestly we do recognize where all these treasures come from- the Lord.
That is us for now good and still going strong.
