Fall right into Winter

It would seem appropriate now that we are into full blown Winter and the middle of the holidays that we catch up on some Fall family happenings around here, I knew it would be at least a couple months since the last update!!

Anyway, Izac has been getting used to a full day of school and Kerrah has been loving the fact that she doesn't have to play the wrestling/toy sharing/TV watching referee ALL day long between the two boys. Alex can have free reign over the house as long as he doesn't require mom to be in the same room all the time, and she can try to attend to other things of her liking as long as a nap time still holds up! At least, that's the idea currently until we make it to next Summer ...then things get to go back to being pretty crazy again on a daily basis.

Here are a few ways that we have enjoyed this past season:

Going up the canyon for a hike

Good hiking buddies

Enjoying Cecret Lake

Looking for salamanders

A little camping...at least once!

A good spot for some exploring

And a good night's sleep


A drive up the Mirror Lake highway

Exploring around the the lake

Something about the water makes these boys crazy!

Whoa...settle down there dudes

A little Oktoberfest fun

Attempting some polka

Mining for precious gems

Heading up the Tram

On top and hard to restrain

One of the boy's favorite places to visit...the farm of course!

Wagon ride anyone?

Hangin' out by the hay

Picking pumpkins

The "real" corn maze...good for chasing around

Enjoying the colors on the mountains...

... And in the sky

Messing up dad's leaf piles

Leaves everywhere now

And of course, can't forget about Halloween...although now well behind us


Pumpkins for the carving

A few Jack-O's lighting the way

Ready to go now

Filling 'em up quick

Cold and tired but had a great night!

Looking forward to making some more memories as the year comes to an end, hopefully we can share more sooner than later. Also went on a Southeastern Utah road trip with Kerrah's family the first weekend of October, but that may need to have it's own dedicated post to do it some justice...maybe sometime soon!
