HELP!

My Camera is broken! Being without a camera is not a good feeling, you never know what moment you're going to miss. I'm looking to replace my point and shoot, it was a Cannon power shot, I really liked it- but am wondering if there is something better. So if anyone reads this and likes their camera tell me what kind it is -or if you've heard of a good compact P&S let me know. THANKS

Wasatch Back

We are so proud of Dave. He injured himself 2 weeks before the race but still made it out alive. 188 miles and 31 hours.

Bear Lake

Last week I took the kids to Bear Lake, Dave stayed behind to work and run his race. My parents are remodeling one of their cabins, so we roughed it (so to speak). We had bedrooms and bathrooms but that was about it. It is so nice to get away without TV, Internet, video games, and the constantly ringing phone. The kids were so helpful and didn't whine about the less than fabulous weather. We did puzzles, played lots of games, and Bree and Saydi both finished their "Work and the Glory" books.

Croquet anyone?

Saydi would do crafts all day.

The water is closer than last year -which leaves us a smaller beach this early in the year.

Saydi

It seems like my kids take turns going through phases. Some good phases, some not so good. I just have to say that Saydi has had a good year. She has been so helpful through all the craziness.

This kid has always been the quiet one, and unlike her siblings, stays out of the spotlight. She is so talented- but not all those talents are easily noticed. This year she has been playing the piano and working on her gymnastics skills. She also draws very well and has been fixing her own hair all year.(I think she just got tired of me not knowing how to do hair) I love that she naturally thinks of others first and can see a need usually before anyone else.

She definitely makes our house run smoother and we love her for that!!
