Yesterday was such a beautiful, sunny day here. We drove up to Logan for Brannon's baby blessing. I absolutely loved the drive. The mountains are all decked out in their fall colors and are looking just gorgeous.
The blessing was wonderful. Beth gave a sweet talk - lots of people cried. I'm so proud of Brian though a part of me can hardly believe he's a dad. When I first came to Utah he was just a cute kid. It's amazing what 10 years will do!
It was a perfect Sunday. Family, friends, a beautiful fall drive and celebrating the cutest new little addition to our family.

B and Me
Brandon is a good little photographer. I've been going over his assignments with him and checking out the shots he's taken so far. He's got a good eye and is grasping the technical aspects well. I'm so proud of him. He's doing great all-around in school, but I must admit there's an extra little twinge of pride when it comes to his photography class.
None of my kiddos look like me, but hey I must at least rub off on them a little, right? Yep, when it comes to his grades in school, and now photography, I see a little of myself in my oldest. A very cool thing.

Fallish
Been loving the Fallish weather we've been having. I got to wear my favorite sweater the other day! Yum!
Been doing a lot of cleaning in this house lately. Eeeeewwww... My kids can be so dirty. Seriously, it astonishes me some of the messes and such that I come across. Some days I wish I weren't so outnumbered. At least Brandon helps with stuff. And LV too. Working on Kirsten. I think my hubby is a lost cause. lol

Um, I ran into a problem. There wasn't a 7th sentence in my 24th post. lol It was about Canada Day. There were four sentences and two pictures. So, um, yeah. They were nice fireworks shots though. :)
How about I tag any squirrelly girls who read this. :D

Is this thing still on?
I have lost my mp3 player. Seriously. Been looking for weeks. I'm so sad. :o(
I let Brandon buy some iTunes the other day, and now Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's is stuck in my head. Thanks B.
Jill and Josh are expecting! I'm beyond excited for them - they've been trying forever. They will be such awseome parents.
Kirsten had her picture day today at school. She looked so cute - made me sad that Vern doesn't "do" school pictures. He figures we can take better shots ourselves. I guess I ought to break out the camera when she gets home. :o)
I wish I had a recent picture to share, but haven't touched my camera since SGU.
I guess I could share pictures from that fun get away. I've banned all pictures of myself from that weekend. I actually forgot to bring my makeup (*Gasp* Yes, I know.) I did have lip gloss in my pocket and a little powder compact thing that did nothing to hide the fact that I still get breakouts in my 30's. Only real friends would endure me in all of my pookiness for an entire weekend. :D
So yeah, here's some of the rest of us. ;o)
Wendy
Erica
Becky & Nicole
Aren't they all the cutest? I have such great friends. Somewhere there'a a group picture with all of us. So many of us are missing from these few. Micki, Carin, Mary, Kassie and a bunch who couldn't make it this year. We're thinking we'll maybe do it in WA the next go around, in Helena & Amy G's neck of the woods.

Once a Week
Ok, so once a week blogging is better than nothing right? Elijah and I have had the sickies & the other kiddos have been busy with school. There's just nothing new and exciting going on at the moment.We're doing well though. (Well, except for some of us being all stubbed up. I think it's just the traditional change of season cold.) I'm excited for fall though! My favorite! Sweaters, soup, pretty colors. Bring it all on!
