BACK to school!!

Okay, so Amy started school today, she is now in the FIRST grade!! I can hardly believe it! I am glad to have Josh home with me for another year, although he will be attending preschool a couple of times a week, he doesn't start until next week. :) It will be different to have Amy at school, ALL day long! Last year she was in kindergarten, but only went a half day in the mornings. I thought that was an adjustment, and I would be okay when she entered first grade, but it has been hard!! Today is only her second day, I really need to hold it together!! She came home yesterday so happy and excited to tell me all about her teacher, and her class.

plum tired

This summer must have been a long busy one, or at least EXHAUSTING!! The reason I say that is because there has been a lot of sleeping going on around here! Pictures say more than words, so let me just show you...

Writing this and looking at all these sleepy photos has taken its toll on me... I am off to take a nap!

Bear Lake

We spent a wonderful day at Bear Lake. We could not have asked for more perfect weather. The kids LOVED playing in the water, in the sand, and especially playing with their cousins!! We spent the day with my hubbies wonderful family, they are so much fun!
Oh I just LOVE to take pictures... of just about anything, and everything!! Except, I like to try and get different angles, not so much the straight on cheesy smile-like pics. In fact, I don't take a lot of head shots. I love to take scenery pics, those are my fave, but then I like to mix it up. So what did I take a picture of, you ask? Yes, our feet!!! But not just any feet, these are happy at the beach feet. :)
This is a picture of my little nephew Jordan, and I thought it actually turned out way cute!!!
Looks like they are sharing a secret, doesn't it?
We are so glad that we were able to go, and can't wait to go again! Thanks ma and pops for inviting us..

Beauty

My sister volunteered to have the kids spend the night so that I could have some much needed alone time with my sweetie. It was amazing to say the least. We spent the day in the beauteous canyon, and were able to watch the sunset over the mountain side. Of course I had to capture it on film! I could not breathe, it was so absolutely beautiful! I loved especially that I was able to share this wonderful experience with my husband, who means the world to me. He has been extremely busy as of late, so I was thrilled to have this time with him.I am so very grateful for the beautiful world that we live. I often take for granted the many miracles provided me. As we were hiking in the canyon I could not stop thinking of how I never take the time to just look around me. I am sure that if I were to do so I would often be in awe at how beautiful everything is. In this state we are able to experience even more as the scenery changes with the seasons. Quite the miracle!
