On second thought...
once you get passed those aweful dirt roads, you can't beat the view from our front porch!!

As long as the sun is shining; in late summer
At around 6:25pm everyday the temple glows, its awesome.
...Just had to share...

Baby Cereal
We have never had a baby like to eat like Mariah does.
She practically begs for a bite every time she happens to
be on our lap when we eat.
She is a chunk just with nursing;
we will see what baby food does on top of that.
Is 5 months old too young to be put on a diet?



Happy Birthday to You!!
It was Brookes birthday on the 19th so us gals went to Celebrations for lunch
They had these hats and scarf things there so we decided to enjoy. We are so beautiful

Mariah included!

The beautiful birthday girl

We just love this girl, she is Darling
I LOVE getting her dressed everyday; its fun






Of course we just love our fellas too
They are always coming up with some new way
to do things, eating dinner outside on the back porch.

Our silly Griff, hiding in the appliance garage
He keeps us on our toes

Mariah was asleep, the boys are at school. I hear Griffin laughing,
I go to check on him...this is what I found.
They have become quite little buddies since school has started.

Big kindergartener- Kellen




Even bigger 2nd grader-Bryson
We all have mixed emotions about school starting.
Dad-works; not affected
Mom-Not sure she enjoys the time spent in the car.(those stupid dirt roads make it 10 times worse) She occasionally dreams of living in town on pavement.
OUR DAILY SCHEDULE:
8am take Bryson to school
(starting Oct 1st)8:30am take Griffin to preschool
11:15am take Kellen to school
11:30am pick up Griffin from preschool
2:15pm pick up boys from school
-you would think I would force them to ride the bus home...
Mariah-Can't quite get in a nap, gets woken up EVERYTIME
Griffin-Enjoys playing with the brothers forbidden toys while they are gone!!
Kellen-Wishes he can go to school all day like Bryson. "Kindergarten is SOOOO easy"
Bryson-"Hates school and his teacher is MEAN."

BUT we are kinda glad to be back on a schedule
