Hello! I am Bethany, a mom of 4 beautiful children, a owner of a dog, and married to a miner/hunter. (Camo is a popular color in our home). We recently relocated to the UP of Michigan from Juneau,Alaska...a huge adjustment. I have a passion for photography and documenting our journey through life. But, most of the time Im busy with my kids, hiding in the bathroom for peace and quiet, or trying to find my dog because he runs away all the time. Welcome to our world...always full of adventure.

Being a Good Example

How many times have you left your children and hope they make good choices without you around? As you are thinking about that, think about what would happen if they did choose the right instead of wrong. What would they learn?
This morning, Trey and Morgan walked over to Glacier Valley Elementary School because they were having a garage sale. While looking around Luke Paden and Trey found a wallet. In the wallet was a $50.00 bill. They went and turned it in to the ladies without even telling Lela, Lukes mom.

Because of their honesty,they were rewarded with $5.00 each from Glacier Valley. I am so proud of both boys! To pass up the temptation and do the right thing without being told, is a big sign of great character and honesty. I gave him a big hug and thanked him for doing the right thing. The neat thing about it is that Morgan was in his presents and it set a good example to her. She got a chance to see good works in action.

Our children learn from our good examples and Morgan will learn from her brothers. Trey has always had such a good spirit about him. We love you Trey!
