I sort of lost my camera for awhile, so I haven't posted any pictures in ages! When I found it, I had several hundred photos of some of the fun things we've done this summer. This montage is several things we've done. First, Warren, Aspen, and the boys went jeeping one Saturday morning over Monte Cristo (between Cache Valley and Eden). Then, Warren and Will went on a long, hard hike up to the Wind caves in Logan canyon. The whole family hiked the short and lovely Limber Pine trail at the summit of Logan canyon, and lastly, we took a trip up into Bear Lake and spent a day hiking in Minnetonka cave. The cave was incredible! Nine 'rooms' all very different and very cool.
We are so happy that Matt has been able to participate in such fun activities this summer. He has kept pace with everyone and isn't having a bit of pain or complication. He feels wonderful. We are going on vacation to Chicago next week, and then school starts, and then the next week we have the appointment for Matt's MRI and our big appointment to figure out the next step in this journey. As for now, we are just enjoying the normalcy of our summer!

“Adversity will be a constant or occasional companion for each of us throughout our lives. We cannot avoid it. The only question is how we will react to it. Will our adversities be stumbling blocks or stepping stones? Our responses will inevitably shape our souls and ultimately determine our status in eternity. Because opposition is divinely decreed for the purpose of helping us to grow, we have the assurance of God that in the long view of eternity it will not be allowed to overcome us if we persevere in faith. We will prevail. Like mortal life of which they are a part, adversities are temporary. What is permanent is what we become by the way we react to them.”

- My name is Allison and this blog highlights the ups (lots of laughs and energy) and the downs (um, scrubbing toilets) of life in a family full of little boys (and one adorable baby girl!) We have 5 boys (ages 11, 8, 6 yo twins, 2 and 10 months). Our oldest son has brain cancer, so this blog follows his journey as well!

HOW FUN! Your boys are so cute. I am so glad that Matt is doing so well. It gives me warm fuzzies all over when I think about what a little miracle he has been through. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
GOOD LUCK on the MRI!!
What a fun summer! I'm so glad Matt is feeling well . . .
That looks fantastic. I need directions to the easy Logan canyon hike. Also, we may try that cave sometime soon. I love caves! Would my little boys be able to do it?
Also, I'm really happy about your normal summer. How nice!
I don't remember how I came across your blog lol, but I am so happy that I did. I have spent the last couple hours getting to know you and your family thru your blog.
What an absolutely beautiful family. I am thrilled all of you are enjoying summer... you certainly kept busy.
Prayers and thoughts are with you all.
I am glad you have been having such a great summer. The video looks awesome. Every time you post pictures of Logan and the canyon I just long to be there. My boys would totally LOVE the cave! We will have to make a trip of it.
I'm glad you were able to have a good summer and that Matthew could do so much. What a blessing! The caving sounds like a lot of fun.
