ALL 4 FALL!!

Rod stopped just off to the side of the road to take this picture! He is quite the photographer!

Some crazy Hog Riders took this family pic of us!

These 2 photos were taken by our aspiring photographer.. she did pretty good! Well, except for cutting off our heads!

Utah is the BEST!! Fall is my favorite season, especially WARM Fall weather. Last weekend we decided to drive the Nebo Loop to oooh and ahhh at the changing leaves. And it was beautiful! These pictures do not do it justice, so if you get spare time, I suggest taking a cruise around the loop before it is too late!

It doesn't matter where we go or what we are doing. Cassidy finds dirt and plays in it regardless of what else is going on.. She loves it??

One of my most favorite places is the Gratto. It use to be a locals secret but they have put a lot of work into improving it and it even has a trail marker sign now. It is sad to see it so popular, but you can see from the following photo's why it is..


I asked some hippies to take this one for us! It embarrasses Rod SO much when I talk to strangers! As you can see, Sis was being her normal photogenic self! All in all it was a really enjoyable ride and a great family day!

Barefoot & Pregnant..

Our little Ash is pregnant again! In fact she is due in just a couple more weeks! Her tummy has gotten HUGE this time! She TOTALLY waddles when she walks! It is hilarious. I am really excited this time around and not nearly as nervous. She was such a good mom she leaves little to worry about.

The picture below is of her walking (waddling).. We bred her to an AKC registered Black Mini Schnauzer from Ogden. He has a really good shape and conformation and seemed to have a happy go lucky personality.. But who wouldn't with his job??

Through the whole process it has made us all remember her first litter.. They are 6 months old now and hopefully all have good families. I have not forgotten how much work puppies were and am not really excited about the messy parts. But they were more fun than work. And we loved and adored ALL FOUR!

So here is a big "HELLO" to Drama (Pixie), Tank-Harley (Tank), Arctic Rush (Wilbur) and last but not least, Lucy (Porsche). WE MISS YOU!!

Playdates with Ryann..

"Lets go Shopping!" Ryann Say's... as she carefully packs her purse with the necessities we all need to go shopping, like cell phone, keys, oh and don't forget the Ba loo Bear toy and rubber snakes, we can't go shopping with out them!!
Cassidy replies with "Nah.. lets go HUNTING!"

and her and Ryann carefully stalk Sheer Khan hopefully catching him off guard! Her dad would be so proud..

School Pictures..

Yes, preschool has class pictures. I know I have said it before, but I am really liking Cassidy's little school. Her teacher told me she was a total ham and her pictures turned out cute! I can't wait to get them. But here she is before she left.. All dressed up (insisting on wearing her pack pack)..

In the Dog House..

Cassidy loves playing with her cousin Rhett. He is younger than her and is perfectly happy taking orders from her. Today we built a 'dog house' out of chairs and a blanket and they barked happily all morning! AND with the chairs out of the way I had just enough time to clean my kitchen!

Sponge Bob Square Pants..

So, after watching a couple of episodes of sponge bob, Rod & I decided that it is not a show we really want Cassidy to watch at such a young age.. or ever if we can help it. Even though we think it is funny, It just has a little more adult humor than we are prepared to have to explain to our three year old. But because we said "no sponge bob" Cassidy LOVES it. She watches Nick so she sees commercials and she has learned all of the characters names etc. So as she was drawing I asked her who she was drawing and she looked at me like duh.. Sponge bob..

Blowing Bubbles!!

Every once in awhile Cole gets to come home with us after school. Today they handed in their homework and their teacher gave them small bottles of bubbles. So despite that it was a windy and cold day today, they couldn't wait to go blow their bubbles! You can't see it, but they are sitting on pumpkins that they picked from the garden for chairs.. Kids..

I am a V.I.P.!!

Cassidy made this mirror in pre-school! It is so cute, I had to take a picture of it. The back says "I'm a V.I.P."
I have been really impressed with her school so far.

Cassidy came running out of her school wearing an antennae.. Yes, just in case you couldn't tell she is an ant. They are learning the alphabet and what starts with the letters etc.

She kept asking me to squish her. It was fun!

Here is Sis all duded up to ride daisy with her daddy. She insists on wearing her cowboy hat when she rides and she pulls it all the way down!

Here they are going for a Sunday morning ride!
