Mitchell in Fall

Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the Autumn tree.

Matthew in Fall

Matthew loves to be in the mountains. He usually has his sling shot in tow, and he loves exploring.  My favorite moment with Matthew over fall break was when he insisted I follow him into the trees.  He lead me to a pile of deer bones with the fur still on them. We took turns poking them with a stick, finding all the parts we could, and being a little grossed out. I love being a boy mom.

Josh in Autumn

Josh enjoyed Autumn with a book in his hand. When we were at the cabin over fall break, he read in the swing until the sun went down.

Josh is always on the hunt for a great skipping rock...

And he has become a master "skipper!"

I always thought I'd be afraid of having teenagers.  

Josh is almost 13, and you know what?

I'm not scared anymore.

He's awesome.

Mitchell the Explorer

I wish for just one day I could see the world through those big brown eyes... 

Family Camp Out

We ended our summer with a family camp out at Bennion creek. We loved every minute.

Because the four wheelers make you feel extra brave and adventurous

Because the goggles bring out your inner swank

Because a camp fire to a little boy is pure magic

And because there is nothing quite as breath taking as God's creations.

Mitchell and Emma

Having cousins to grow up with is a blessing indeed.

The Last Days of Summer

Oh I love September evenings... We spent our last evenings of summer at the parks in our area with people we love. Life doesn't get much sweeter than that.
