Caitlee, boogie board madness!
Gavin, a little saltier thanks to the ocean. I think he loves surfing and will want more and more. Every day he could he wanted to go to the ocean to play and crash.
Sophia, Ella, Laila (who didn't jump), Caitlee & Soraya jumping off the ledge to the beach which is maybe 50 feet from the Swensen's home.
We are so fortunate to have the Swensen's live on Balboa Island and share the life of relaxation and fun. You get a teaser of what life might be like if we were millionaires and resided in Cali. The life is so peaceful and restive, I don't know how anyone could resist. I come home relaxed, renewed and ready for what the desert of Salt Lake holds for my family.
Sitting on the beach with my family, I am filled with salty air, the warm sun heating me through, I think about life, what is important and what is unessessary and abcess, how can I widdle down to less than what I am currently in excess. It's easy enought to do, harder to act.
Smith, the eldest child of the Swensen's, left on his two year service mission to Florida. He will learn spanish and teach and preach and do as missionaries do. We are so thrilled for him, for his dedication and sacrifice.
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God." (Matthew 6:33) overalls I learned first and foremost, whatever my wants, I need to prioritize that line into my life. No one will do it for me. No one will teach my children better than I. Therefore, I must seek the kingdom of God.
