Atleast I Have Cute Cheeks To Kiss

I am like a blog fool this week. Hoollllaaa! Don't get used to it a few more days and then we will be packing up and moving to the in laws and I will vanish!
Here is a couple pictures of a couple faces I really like. Piper and her baby doll she loves, and we have managed to loose, and Beckett and his "too boc" or tool box. He was fixing my car apparently.
Good bye neighbors with log cabin (cat stealers), good bye gravel driveway, good bye awesome for pictures yard. Soon we will just have dirt in the background of our pictures. But we will be on a cement driveway, with a garage.. or three :) Trade off's-what do you do?

It Wouldn't Be Fall Without The Pumpkin Patch

First off I gotta send out thanks to all my sweet friends and all your great texts, calls and cards through losing my grandma. I survived. It sucked, but we all survived. And are still trying to be surviving. But it really helped.


Last week we went to the pumpkin patch. I mean, you GOTTA go to the pumpkin patch. I can't believe how many times I have been, guess I have been a mom a lot more years than it feels. I just hope even though I am moving three miles west, I am still invited :) (hint, hint)

I was too busy playing to pack around the good camera and/or try for any decent pictures. These ones are the only ones I took. I am pretty sure Lex has some of me going down the monster slide :) burning a million calories climbing and carrying my kids up it.


This is Piper and her BFF Lucy. They love love each other, can you tell?

A Night At The Circus

A couple weekends ago we went to the circus.
Here we are.. sorry Piper's little head didn't get into focus.





The rest of the group. Auto just doesn't get everyone into focus..or I don't know how to use my D60 anymore.. either way, sorry Kris.



Me and peanut....



Eli wasn't too entertained :) he fell asleep in my mom's arms.

Flying

Hello blog world.

I took these pictures this morning in my kitchen. The kitchen that soon won't be mine. I know that in life change is inevitable, but good hell can't it just happen one thing at a time? Throw a girl a freaking bone here!

So we sold our house (thanks to Brandon Visser's mad skills..or magic powers?) and we are building just out a few miles west. I know, west. But hey a girl's gotta stay in Farmington. We will most likely be living with Jake's parents in South Jordan in three weeks, as long as this old beast appraises :) I love you house.
And I am pregnant for anyone who isn't on Facebook, which you are thereby an alien if you are not. Yay for second trimesters.









"I had a dream.. I could fly from the highest tree.. I had a dream.
Now I'm old I'm feeling gray I don't know what's left to say, about this life I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full I lived it well there's many tells I've lived to tell.
I'm ready now.. I'm ready now..
To fly from the highest tree."
Priscilla Ahn

Blahhhhging.

Apparently my running is so slow it just nulls him to sleep!



We sold our Cruiser. The driveway is pretty empty without it. I think very few people have known Jake without one. But.. on to bigger and better things.



We sure did have some good memories in it. Here is one of Piper and Sparta on some outing. We brought Piper home from the hospital in this car. And oh how many times I cursed it when I tried to hurl myself into it pregnant!



Anyways.. life is full of changes and growing. Some is fun and some (a lot) is not. The circle of life is apparent everywhere and we strengthen and harden in the course of it whether we like it or not. Every changing stage of life offers new lessons and new memories we just have to make sure we are taking advantage of the right ones and not being clouded by the bittersweet bite of change.

Rufus The Dufus

This is Rufus, name from Gossip Girl (go ahead make fun). My neighbor has sent him to the shelter twice because she DESPISES cats, and is a friendly neighbor, obviously. And is still trying to catch/lure him into her cage. It's a really good thing he is such an outstanding cat or else he wouldn't be worth the inconvenience. It's also a really good thing I have such outstanding neighbors that are so considerate and find cats to be such an interesting hobby.
