fall

i love fall and absolutely adore these fall photos of my kiddos!

they look so grown up :(

school time

it's hard to believe we have a fourth grader and 3 preschoolers!
where does the time go? 

the day the crittlets headed off to preschool was a bittersweet moment... 

i wanted to cry, yet i was screaming for joy inside.  :)

provo falls & pizza

taking the scenic drive to provo falls has been a family tradition.  it's such a beautiful place!  this time we picked up some pizza and had a picnic as we watched the water rage through this beautiful valley!

  

gary spotted these guys on the way home.

 

wheelin' with gram & gramps

4-wheeling with the crew is quite a deal!  the second we got ethan's wheeler fixed (thanks red) we headed to "sargent lakes" up spring canyon.  grandpa & grandma crittenden were troopers and cleared us a ride-a-way for permission.  we look forward for many more family 4-wheeling trips.
