Fall Splendor on the Painted Mountain Top

 Fall Splendor... As the Leaves change and we can feel the cool air at night and the last of the sunny days dwindling away., the roads on the mountains turn into magical backgrounds and phenomenal scenery painted with an array of colors. A fall drive is just the thing to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon. As you wined around the mountain curves and smell the fresh air it is a surprise to see what color is around each corner. 

My little LOVE BUG!

 

My Sweet gals!

September 2012

OK, All of a sudden I woke up and noticed the date is Sept 20th! Really? How?

Lyam is growing so big! He coos and giggles at everything. Most of the time I just wnt to eat him up he is so stinkin' cute! I love to just spend time with him and cuddle.

Nadalynn is like this little girl now. No baby in sight. She is eating up the preschool fun at daycare! She also started gymnastics this year which is about the cutest thing ever! She is the kindest little soul. She is so very thankful for everything. Always saying "Thanks mom and dad for this and that". I love it when it is for something really simple like " Thanks for taking me the store!" lol too cute. Especially when it is mre like me dragging her there against her free will. She can ride her scooter now pretty well and she honestly NEVER stops talking! Future reporter here! With a heart of gold and hair to match! 

Makayla loves 1st grade! She thinks it is so cool to stay all day, have lunch there and be a big girl! Can't believe how well she is reading! It is fun to see her really develop relationships. She is the kindest person. Always so thoughtful. Lately it is her misson to be the recess/ school hero. She stands up for kids who are being bullied and trased or chased! Good for her! Not nearly enough people have the confidence to stand up  for others! This is her 3rd year of gymnastics and all of a sudden it is as if it clicked! She is getting very good and graceful! She has also lost 8 teeth and had her expander for almost 2 months! right now she looks like a little jack-o-lantern with so many teeeth missing. Nadalynn thinks that the loose fairy should come get her teeth also and Makayla and I think it is hilarious and laugh about picturing a " fairy" out on the "loose."

Could Cody be any busier? seriously! Last week he had a training in Las Vegas. I did get to go down with him for the weekend though! Then he has been doing his advanced rescue scuba diving class this week. This all equals insanity with the kids! =)
My work has been so crazy! One of our gals is out on maternity bed rest with twins so things have been very busy. Having 3 kids and working is interesting some weeks. My weekly goal is just to get back to square 1. If I can do that we are good! Laundry, cleaning, grocery store, organizing, and helping Makayla's with homework, REPEAT. LOL  I can't imagine the routine with 3 in school!
