Cozy fall clothes and leaves

October has already come and gone today. The forecast says snow for tomorrow and my thoughts this weekend went to cozy clothes and a warm fireplace. (Which thanks to Joel is now clean and ready for a fire. He really was a Chimney sweep for the harvest party!) My "Little men" enjoyed some nice fall weather and played outside yesterday. I loved hearing Kadence squeal as he jumped in the pile of leaves.

"Now's the time when children's noses
All become as red as roses,
And the colour of their faces
Makes me think of orchard places
Where the juicy apples grow,
And tomatoes in a row."
- Katherine Mansfield, 'Autumn Song'

Thank you Lord for healthy boys...they make all those simple moments so special.

My earthy dearest~~~~~~

“When I have learnt
to love GOD
better than my earthly
dearest,
I shall love my earthly dearest
better than I do now.”
—C.S. Lewis

Baby Shower Time!

Some very sweet friends threw me a baby shower this week, it was such a fun time of good food, visiting and of course wonderful presents. I felt like it was Christmas time for baby! Thanks girls for a fun night!

8O + DEGREE WEATHER =WATER UNDER THE TRAMPOLINE

I absolutely love the expressions on Kadence face as he is jumping to cool off!  I have to admit I took a little turn myself in hopes of relief. It is funny how something so simple can be so fun.

See how our GARDEN grows...

My little helper has done such a good job of helping me in the garden this year. His favorite thing is looking for red tomatoes and bringing them to me. He also loves hanging out with Buster in the garden and looking for Butterflies!

Family fun time on the boat

I am going back in time a bit as I realized that I hadn't posted some fun camping pictures during July. My sis Jennifer & her family, Joel's mom and step-dad and our friends the Mayo's all came along . We had so much fun and all have agreed that this must become a annual trip every year. We camped at Georgetown lake and were able to enjoy the water as well as good company. Allmost everyone enjoyed the fishing except for poor Ellie as little Owen decided to through her fishing pole into the water! :)

Yellowstone Park Trip

 We took a little day trip to Yellowstone last week mostly driving with a few mini-excursions to the Geysers. This prego mama can't walk far! It was still fun to be out and play tourists for a day. The last picture of the cow Elk and her calf was right in front of us as we had stopped to let Kadence play in the river and cool off a bit. It was quite crazy how undisturbed they were by us. Kadence kept telling Yvonne and I we needed to shoot them. He allready is a little hunter!

A thought for the day!

Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the people you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, as long as you can ♥ This will glorify our Lord and others will see Him through us.

A great summer break with COUSINS!

 Hanging out in Jackson Hole...

 This was part of the big shootout in the town square.  Since watching this Kadence has been very into being a cowboy and and shooting his guns. It was a very realistic shootout and the gunslinger even came up to Kadence and told him that he was watching him. You can about imagine how wide eyed he was.

 The boys drinking their night-time milk, and chilling together.

 More cowboy action in the museum dress up area.

 They both got matching shirts with bears on them and so of course they wore them on the same day.

 The big boys got matching shirts also and they wanted to be twins too. Isn't that cute!

 Little miss Regan!

We had fun together and Kadence really misses his play buddies. He keeps asking me when they are going to come back and live with us.
