3rd Week of July

Here are some highlights from the 3rd week of July.

My car keys have been missing/lost for the past month.  The past couple weeks we've been seriously praying as a family to find my keys.  I kept feeling like they were in the house, and since I always move them between bags, I thought they could be in a bag/backpack.  I checked in all the bags I thought I used recently (a couple backpacks and my church bag), but found nothing.  We also checked the cars, around the house, but still nothing.  We still couldn't find them, but I just knew and felt they had to be in the house somewhere.  There was always the possibility that somehow Hudson got them and put them somewhere.  

Well, Wednesday I made an appointment to go do initiatories.  After changing and grabbing my temple bag, I looked into my bag to see if I had any family initiatory name cards to do.  Ironically I looked the night before and didn't see any initiatory name cards, but I wanted to double check one more time.  As I reached in to review what name cards I had, I saw something shinny.  I reached in and there were my car keys!  It was a miracle!  I had put them in my temple bag last month when Steve and I went together, but hadn't taken them out yet.  It made total sense.  The Lord does hear and answer our prayers.  I am so thankful for that and for answering my prayers, large and small.  I know he loves us.

I took a picture of my car keys as I walked out of the temple, to remind me that the Lord loves us, and always hears and answers our prayers.  It might not be on our timing, but he does answer them.

Thursday evening, Steve and Nyles went out fishing w/ our neighbor Rich Mitchell at Utah Lake.  They caught a few fish, then Steve cooked them up the next night.  Nyles caught the most fish!

Huson got his 2nd Covid shot this week and had a fever for several days.  It was a rough couple of nights needless to say.  Thankfully he started feeling better before the weekend.  

Saturday we went for a short hike up to Lisa Falls.  The water is cool and felt great on our feet!

Cute Hudson.  American Flag hanging over a canyon in Sandy.

Sunday we had dinner w/ Dave, Joann, LuDean and Diane.  We played some fun Pioneer games and had a great time together.  We then went home to get Hudson to bed.  Nyles and Carter enjoyed some fireworks w/ the neighbors for the 24th of July celebration.

Cute kids watching and enjoying fireworks.

I'm so thankful for the pioneers and the Legacy they've left us.  

We each have a Legacy of our own to leave as well.
