The Bucket List

We just watched the movie "The Bucket List" and I am not saying I am recommending it, because it has a lot of swearing in it, but the overall feeling and message it gives is awesome. It is about two men who have cancer that share a room and are given only a few more months to live. They make a list of things they would like to do before they "kick the bucket" Anyway, it is really neat how the movie turns out but it got Joseph and I thinking, It would be fun to have our own "bucket Lists" So I thought of a few things that would be fun to do as an individual, couple or as a family.
1)visit 100 Geo cache sites
2)Drive a sled dog team
3)Ride in a helicopter and?or fly one. (for Joseph, I have flown in one but haven't been the pilot)
4)See a tornado 1st hand from a safe distance
5)Know my scripture stories
6)an adventure excursion with my family such as slot canyon hike, rock climbing, repelling hiking, etc. (when the kids are older of course)
7)Take a close up action shot of a Bald eagle and add it to my photography
8)Live the Prophets teachings
9)share the gospel with someone and have them join the church (missionary)
10)LIVE!!! EVERYDAY LIKE IT WAS MY LAST. I like to keep that in the back of my mind so that I make everyday a meaningful one with my kids and husband
11)Ride a rodeo bull
12) swim with Dolphins
13)Climb to the top of a tall mountain
14)Hike from south rim to North rim of Grand Canyon
15)Sky flying(for Joseph) it is like sky diving but you have a type of webbing between your body and your arms and legs, so you look like a flying squirell, I have been sky diving but not sky flying
16)Paint an incredible sunset or night time scene
17)save a life
18)To give up fear and just believe
19) Stand up for the constitution and for this counties foundation
20)Take my family to the warm ocean
so some of these things are Joseph's and some are mine and some for our entire family, but what are goals and hopes if you don't seek them with action. The list will continue to grow and that will be the fun of it for the rest of our lives.

Could you mention to Lari that I'd love to have a peek at their blog? You could pass on my email address to them: waterbabe51@gmail.com
I can't believe how handsome your boyS are! And I can't believe you have 2 cuties already! Last time I saw you was at our wedding where Gideon was just a little wiggler in your tummy! You guys look like you are doing great. I am glad you found us so we can better keep in touch.
Lots of Love,
Erin

Wow, you have been working really hard on this blog, Camille. I love it and the music that goes with it adds that extra touch. The new pictures of Gideon and Bridger are so cute and the older ones of you and Joseph are especially reminisent of good times past. Yet, the best is yet to come...... Love you all, Mom
