Fall Sports

We have all the kids doing something this fall. I almost didn't sign Bensen and Vivian up for soccer, just because I knew how hard it would be to get everyone where they needed to be. But I am glad I did. I love watching them play! They also get dragged around to Jaycee's soccer games and Wesley's football games, so it is good for them to get to play too.

Wes is loving football. He is playing corner on defense and receiver on offence.

Fall always seems so busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Fall Break-Yellowstone

For fall break this year we rented a cabin in Island Park.

We went to Yellowstone.

Every time we come here I am amazed, and scared because I am sure it is going to blow at any minute!

Our first day in the park was the warmest day. The next day was pretty cold! We were still able to see most the things we wanted to. This was the first time Amber and Tyson had brought their family. So that was fun.

The kids liked the park, but they were really excited to go back to the cabin to get in the hot tub and play games!

On the third day of our trip we tried to go back into the park to see one more thing, but they had the park closed because the roads were too bad. So we went to the bear and wolf zoo. It was fun, the kids got to see bears and wolfs and we got snowed on.

We had a fun little trip, it is always nice to get away! And I got the nice master bedroom because I couldn't make it up any of the stairs. The one bright spot of having a torn Achilles.

Fall Family Pictures

At chuch today Jaime asked if I could help them take family pictures after church.

So we decided to go and to take a few of our own.

I sure love this family of mine!

What you can't tell from the pictures is that it was snowing on and off on us! Burr, it was pretty cold. Vivian also fell asleep on the way up, so she wasn't too thrilled about me getting her out in the freezing cold to take picture, but she did pretty good.

Gardening and Stuff

Our garden did pretty good this year, we got a lot of peppers, beets, and squash.  For some reason my tomatoes didn't work! This is the 3rd year in row. I obviously am doing something wrong.  Maybe next year.

 We did snap peas, a couple different kids of beans, cucumbers, onions

Sweet Viv is 5 months old! We love her to pieces. She is such a good baby. She just started rolling all over the place. She has a baby food a handful of times, she doesn't love it.  The only thing I have found that she likes is squash. 

For family home evening we went on our annual hike up at Snow Basin.  The kids love it, I love it. The fall colors were pretty, not as vibrant as other years, but still beautiful.

Jaycee is such a good big sister, she is so good to help whenever we need her.

Wes loves to explore everything!

Viv is such a good baby, she likes hiking too.

The kids love this tree!

And they are pretty good picture takers.

I sure love these people of mine!
