Patience

Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties.

"Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind." Leonardo da Vinci

This is definitely easier said than done, but I absolutely need to work on this.

Cute Kids!

Jake and I had Monday off. We wanted to play outside, so we decided it would be more fun if there were nephews and a niece present. We had fun! :) There's also a few pictures from just hanging out at home with them the night before.

The un-airconditioned ride up the canyon

Zoey wanted a hat and glasses to keep her hair out of her face. But then Jakey wanted to try :)

Rock Climbing :)

Zoey enjoyed this for a second, but then realized how high the rock was and panicked.

Too Heavy :)
