Autumn in the Park

Look at this and you won't ever have to wonder why Fall is my favorite time of year. I'm always reminiscent this time of year because this is the season that Matt and I met and decided to spend our lives together. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the seasons come and go and how time flies without really acknowledging it's passage. I can't believe how big the boys are and how much they add to our lives. Each their own little personality and I wonder how it can be when they came from the same mould, but different they are!

Does it really get any better than this? Pure joy and at so little a cost.

Almost walking!

Bliss on a cool Autumn Evening!

The Top of the World

Saturday we spent the afternoon up at Snowbird with the boys and rode the tram. Can you say amazing?! What a beautiful state we live in! Nearly 3000 feet up in less than 10 minutes.

The Crew....

Don't step back!! No guard rails on the mountain that's for sure!


This view...priceless!

Big Jacks is 4!

It's official! Our Big Jacks is 4 years old. What a great kid he is! Today was a big day of course and to top it off it was a preschool day so add that to the excitement. Jackson helped me make this little poster to share with his classmates so that they would know all about him and what he likes.

He wasn't so much a fan of the crown or "clown" as he referred to it. He only kept it on long enough to get this pic. He came to me very seriously and said quietly "Take this thing of my head. Take it home and put it on the counter."

Happy as a couple of clams. Ethan loves to wrap em' and Jacks likes to do the unwrapping.

Not to be forgotten....Matt had a birthday this past week too! We spent time as a family up the canyon exploring and hiking around Alta ski resort for his big day.

We found this old ski lift chair on one of the trails. We got this picture of Carson right before he tried to fall through the back. You'll notice we don't have too many pics of this kid and for good reason. He's fast, he's wiggly and he has his own agenda!


Happy Birthday Matt!
