Fall in Full Swing

 Sherrie and the kids went up to This is the Place Park in Salt Lake with Sherrie's mom. One of the highlights was riding ponies. I think Clara would have taken off to the hills if the horses hadn't been tied up. 

 Nathan is becoming quite the breakfast chef. In the last few weeks he has cooked french toast, German pancakes, and waffles. While we might gain 500 pounds, it's been fun to have so many tasty breakfast treats. We'll have to see what's next on the menu.

 Our four little chillins. William is a good sport.

 We went on a short hike a few weeks a ago with Uncle Michael and Aunt Mel. We were originally going to go to Stewart Falls up by Sundance Resort, but there were abou5 50 billion cars and people and we had gone up to the mountains to get away from the throngs. We drove back down the canyon and hiked up to another waterfall (not sure of the name). We were the only ones there and it was beautiful.

 Here are some of the amazing fall colors surrounding Mt. Timpanogos.

 

We've been trimming a bunch of the trees on our property. This Chinese Elm was absolutely out of control. Uncle Michael misses using a chainsaw on a regular basis, so he is a willing helper whenever there is chainsaw work.

What will Kindergarten be like?

She discovered it's pretty good. 

The big slide at Hee Haw Farm.  So fun! 

Vegetable Art: A way to dispose of excess garden produce without feeling like you're being terribly wasteful. 

Our wild garden.  Mostly weeds and out-of-control zucchini and cucumber plants. 

Big gardens and new babies don't go together.  I was true to my vow that I would not keep up with weeding or make good use of produce.  Check out our 12-foot-tall sunflowers. 

Here's our "live doll."  Much cuter than the other dolls, I must say.
