Quotable Quote


" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

Benson Grist Mill

No pics this time...:-( I brought my camera, but realized as we got out of the van that Ava didn't put shoes on before leaving home; Ryan had to carry her while I carried Breck! Breck and cameras don't mix!

We went to the Benson Grist Mill which is in Stansbury. It was really interesting. I wanted to go there, because there is a mom that wants her daughter's pics there on August 5th, and so I wanted to scope the scene out beforehand. Ezra T Benson's grandpa settled it, and started the mill. All the farmers would go and take their wheat there, and it would be made into whatever they needed (cracked wheat, rolled oats, flour etc.....) it was really neat! There was this old grandpa that was shacky and so cute! ha ha. He told us all about the actual mill. There are old pioneer homes and barns too. They do a play there every year in August. This year it is 'Annie Get Your Gun'...I've never seen it (all I can figure is it is something about Annie killing Blake ha ha lol). Anyway they also have a "pumpkin walk" in October. Not sure what that is either.
We then stopped by the Ivory Homes they are selling in Stansbury. We left there grateful that our house payment is what it is....although the fire place and ten foot ceilings would be ideal. We then stopped by McD's and got happy meals. It was another fun family time.....which is nice to have amid all of the chaos, clutter, whining etc....
