Something Special about Pleasant Grove!

Thinking about St. Patrick's Day reminds me of "GOOD LUCK." And we are VERY LUCKY to live here in Pleasant Grove, Utah!! Besides being a fantastic little town, with people full of heart and giving....we are blessed to live in a wonderful neighborhood. Just the other day, I walked outside to check on my almost 7 year-old, Reilly. He was going for a ride on Oreo, the neighbors horse--how cool is that. It was the highlight of his day and mine :-) I often see our sweet neighbors taking the boys on a ride in their quad-runners or letting them pet their horses. How lucky is that???

~My lesson from all this is that you can live anywhere, in almost any situation, and find an abundance of friends and blessings, if you just look around you with an open heart.

Sledding at Daniels Summit

Our latest family adventure took us on a sledding trip to Daniels Summit, near Heber City, Utah. We left the rain in Pleasant Grove and traveled up Provo Canyon to find light snow in Heber City. After enjoying some good 'old-fashioned' junk food at the Dairy Keen, a( sentimental) favorite, we drove to the 8000+ foot peak at Daniels Summit. The boys (including Daddy) enjoyed some sledding and Aimee, Liam and mommy hung out and watched. Aidan won the award for the most "crazy sled run"--not on purpose--as he flew down the hill, hit a pile of snow and went airborne...eventually landing on his face. After a couple of tense moments, it was clear he was fine and survived the trip--though he could be heard saying "I'm going to the car to see Mommy" after the wild ride :-0 (hint: click on the pictures to see the bigger version, where you can see more detail)
