Eating Carrots...

Our little garden has produced a few items this year, but because I'm not a gardner, and have no clue what i'm doing- it hasn't done much this year. Things are growing, don't get me wrong, it's just not one of those gardens you pass and say "Wow, how beautiful>" We have had: Several tomatoes, a few beans, little carrots, lettuce and a few other things on the way. Here are the girls eating thier tiny carrots.

First day of school...

Today was the kids first day of school and I had mixed feelings as we walked them there, watched for a few minutes and then turned to walk home. I think it hit me more with Daisy because this is the first year she will be gone all day, every day. With Tristin, I've had a few years with him gone, but I haven't with Daisy, so we will see how everyone adjusts. They are definatly growing up and becoming their own little people, it's just SO strange. It's crazy to give birth, breastfeed, potty train, watch them grow, learn to talk, rock them to sleep, love them to pieces and then send them off to school. It goes so fast!
When we came home, Grace and I did her school work for a hour and it was nice & quiet! It will be great as we settle into a school routine and I am really excited for them to meet new friends and stretch their brains. I love my little turkeys...

As we were getting back from church yesterday, we saw a ton of smoke not far from Elle's house. It was crazy to watch it burning so close. I need to find out what fire it was and make sure it's under control now.

Samuel has grown SOOO much in 4 months. it is wild to think he was 3 pounds when he was born! it's great to see him fattening up and looking so healthy now.

Visiting the cousins in Oakley...

Over the weekend we went to Oakley to visit the cousins and be there for baby Samuel's baby blessing. It was nice, the kids had a blast playing and it was fun to see Ellen's new house. It was a mini trip for us, and we got home in time to get the kids to bed and ready for school in the morning.

My very sweet husband...

Last week after a crazy few days, I came home to find these beauties waiting for me. It was so sweet of Trav. He is truely one of the best guys out there. I love him with all my heart and I am beyond blessed to have him forever!

Willow's Funny faces...

Little Miss Willow is doing great on the potty these days! It is pretty cute to see her run to the bathroom when she has to go and then come out naked after she's done. What is it about cute little bums running down the hall, anyway? She looked pretty cute the other day making funny faces while going potty!
