I Love...

I've been thinking alot lately about how blessed I am and some of the things that I love in my life right now...

~A beautiful sunset.

~When I can hear the girls giggling at each other in the next room.

~Laughing for an hour when Austin makes up his own lyrics to a song.

~The excitement of starting a new DIY project and the relief of finally finishing it.

~Getting cozy during a thunderstorm.

~When my children discover something new, seeing their faces and experiencing it with them.

~The change of the seasons and decorating the house with the girls for each upcoming holiday.

~Creative craft ideas that come to me and actually turn out cute!

~ The sound of the ocean and the feeling of sand in my feet on a much needed getaway.

~The look Austin gives me when he knows exactly what I'm thinking...at any given moment.

~All of our "inside jokes" and never forgetting a single one.

~The feeling of how truly blessed I am.

What do you love?

-It's FALL!!!-

For Conference weekend, Austin had to work the first part so we weren't able to plan a getaway. Instead, after he got off work saturday night, we headed to Nephi to spend time with Nona and Boompa. Sunday we took a drive up Levan canyon. I was hoping to get some pictures of the girls in the fall leaves but we didn't really find a good spot...

...until four hours later when we made it all the way down Wales canyon and on our way back decided to ride up the loop a little way. The leaves were gorgeous!!!

The Brough family has a cabin up the Nebo Loop so we had to stop and check it out! It was little and quaint, perfect for fun get-togethers and family parties. And of course the surroundings were BEAUTIFUL!

Of course we had to look for some deer! Elena was just excited to use the binoculars. She had to use them to watch the fish jump in the pond.

Since the beginning of October, Nephi has turned into Halloween Town. All of the Businesses on Main have added ghostly gouls, witches, and other fun characters to the Main Street decor adding a fun spooky feel to the towns atmosphere. Elena was pretty nervous to sit and get pictures at first but obviously she warmed up pretty quick to the spooky townfolk:o)

It was a nice relaxing weekend being spiritually uplifted by conference and getting to spend time with family and seeing things we haven't been able to see for a while.
