Yay for Fall!


I have been stressed lately with the craziness of life, but the weather has kept me moving. I love fall. It is my absolute favorite time of year. I love the cool days and crisp nights. I love the vibrant colors as the leaves turn. I love watching the transformation take place on the mountains from a distance and then love it again as it creeps into my yard. So, hooray for this beautiful world that edifies and recharges.

Here are some pictures from autumns past...

    Fall is my favorite, too, except for the craziness! The pictures are cute. Glad you mentioned they were of Falls past because I thought for a second that you had shave Lizzies head! Guess that's what you get when your kiddos look alike!

    I think that I like Spring just a tiny bit more, but, I too, love Fall. I love the way the air smells and the the coolness of it. The only thing about it cooling off is I know what's coming next! I told Buck that just the other day and he said that he was done disliking Winter and this year he was going to embrace it instead of fighting it.

    Thanks for posting the beautiful Fall foliage pics. It's been awhile since I've seen that kind of thing. I will have to make sure my kids see them, I don't think they've ever seen an orange or red leaf. We are still in triple temp. digits here so it's hard to believe that one state up it's sweater weather.

Family Makes My Heart Happy

Image
  It's been over a year since I wrote anything here.  But, that one line about sums it up:  FAMILY MAKES MY HEART HAPPY.  I've had a few diversions, like taking some Spanish classes at BYU and keeping busy with some service in the community, but otherwise, the days have flown by in pursuit of loving my family.  It hasn't all been easy or fun, but here are some of my favorite highlights: Lots of trips/visits to see each other...sometimes across town...sometimes across the country... Lots of celebrations... Lots of outdoor adventures and silliness... Hours and hours of Facebook Messenger... Quite a few concerts... Two trips to the Pacific Northwest...one to the Track and Field Olympic Trials and one to an Alaskan Cruise... And even adding a few more family members to love... In celebration of the people you call your family, go find one of them to hug -- in person, or with words.  I may not be perfect at it, but I'm learning more and more each day about how t...

Longest Summer Ever

Image
  Yesterday officially marked the end of summer.  Phew!  Not only has it been hot and dry, but it has been full to the brim with adventure.  Here are a few of the highlights: In May, we had a few graduations and helped a child move to a new apartment... Then we fled the country to hike 84 miles around the Beara Peninsula in Ireland. While we were in Ireland, the kiddos left on a road trip across the country so one of them could say he'd been to all 50 states. A few weeks later, we did a road trip to the Wind Rivers, the Tetons, and Yellowstone (one of our kids got married in a small private ceremony while we were gone).. Then we flew to Portland (after a quick 4th of July breakfast) to have some adventures with extended family... We focused on hosting guests and a wedding for a few weeks (relaxing and enjoying time with family amid the wedding hustle and bustle)... Two weeks later, we drove to San Diego for our first ever family reunion with our immediate family (onl...

DOGS HATE ME!!

As if I need one more thing to have an irrational fear of!! I thought I was being a great citizen and mother this morning by walking to school instead of driving, and thus spending quality time with my son as we walked together. After dropping him off and heading back up the hill home, I passed by a house with a dog out front (which is nothing surprising since it seems that's the norm around this hick neighborhood). I made eye contact with the beast, slowed my pace a bit, and walked on the far side of the sidewalk past him. Nevertheless, he decided I looked threatening I guess, and ran around behind me and sunk his teeth into my meaty backside! I screamed in shock and fortunately he decided I didn't taste good (kind of like sharks, I guess). A few people driving past slowed down to see what happened, but then drove on. The owner came out and I shouted, "Your dog just bit me!" Of course, as all dog owners innocently claim, "he's never done anything lik...
