Family Pics and Autumn in CT

Sorry Babe, I just had to :)

Thanks Matt and Jen for taking our family pics this year!

The autumn here is absolutely gorgeous! These pictures don't even show just how beautiful it is. Since we are constantly surrounded by trees, it's quite breathtaking when the leaves change color. I wish I could have gotten even better pictures.

Yup, it's that time again

Time for me to blog again! So, I need to backtrack a little...

Around the end of August, Taylor had a bit of a break between semesters, so we flew to Utah for the first time since moving out here, and visited some family. It was really fun! Taylor was about to start a very busy semester, so we decided it would work out really well for me to stay at my mom’s for a few more weeks after Taylor flew back home so he could get a hang of his schedule and have some non-interrupted study time at home, while not having to worry about us. We knew that we wouldn’t be going back to Utah for another visit for a really long time, so we figured we may as well make it last a little longer. It was so great to spend time with family, but it was also really nice to just let the kids run and be noisy without me worrying about bugging neighbors under us or around us. We had such a wonderful time, both our families were so generous and kind to host us. I’m so glad we went. And then it was so good to be reunited as a family and be with Taylor again.

I really hope I don't offend any family by only posting pictures at my mom's house and my brother Clinton's house. Those were the only times I remembered to take any pictures!

My sister's friend brought his horse over one day and the kids went nuts over him.





They didn't really ride him, just sat on him happily.




Caden all geared up for the trampoline with the sprinklers on.

Tyson loved the unripe tomatoes from the garden.

My brother Clinton and Kylee's baby boy, Maddox. He's so adorable.

This was one of the highlights of Cadens trip, my mom's jetted bath tub. He thought he was in a hot tub, and was more excited about this than the horse.
