SuMmeR TiMe FUn!

So here we go!  Summertime is in full swing and while the big boys work, we get to play!  Field Trips for this year will be a little-bit of Utah History.  First stop....Dinosaur Park of course!  It was a great day...not to hot and not to cool...PeRfEct!  The Whitemyer clan, The Other Martin clan and a little bit later the Terry Clan.  What is more exciting than a day out in the semi-sun!  The Martins threw in a week of dinosaur play...putting together puzzles, cookies and taking a better look at Dinosaurs and where they possibly could have fit in in the whole Creation process.  Next stop....Antelope Island. :)

Some goodbyes are HapPy.. for Some

left to right..down and up!  Carson Baltazar, Chase Davis, Dakotah and Tanner Taggart

Schools....OUT for sUmMeR  and 4-ever for our oldest Dakotah!  Can it really be so?  I SWEAR to you it WAS just yesterday that I took him to kindergarten!  Time flys like I have always been told but never could quite comprehend..He did graduate and those 3 years of homeschooling we did?....didn't hold him back a bit!  WHEW!!  Anywho it's over and way more sadder for me than for him.  He's off working with his Dad and Brother for the summer and working on his Mission papers as I write this.  He is a wonderful, wonderful Son, Brother, Friend and example to his younger siblings!  We are so BLESSED to have him in our family. 
So he said goodbye to High School and also to his Car.  All the hours of work he put into is now being enjoyed by another.  Another sad day for his Mother as I watched it drive down the road for the very last time.  What a huge learning experience in so many ways for him!  He is becoming a man and I hope we trained him well.  Ready or not world...HERE HE COMES!
