"Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family." -Virginia Satir
This quote was on the wall at the Aquarium. I loved it... I often wish I could see things through a child's eyes... I hope my kids will be able to keep some of the "magic" in life alive in them forever.
A couple weeks ago, we got to go to Salt Lake for a few days for my nephew Tyson's baptism. We had such a great time. Here are some pictures from the Aquarium there.

In an effort to eat more "organic" fruits and vegetables this year, we are trying our not so green thumbs at gardening. Ryan and his dad made this planter box one afternoon and then we spent the next evening planting away. So far we have corn, tomatoes, carrots, squash and zucchini starting to grow! We are so excited!!
