Happy 29th Birthday Dean!

This guy is the best, most handsome husband and father ever in all the existence of the world! seriously I couldn't go through life without him. Mya and Baylor adore him and he is so fun with them. He works from sunup to sundown at Powder River then onto house projects or honeydew lists. He is amazing!! I'm so blessed to share my bed with him:)

(we had dinner with Geraldine and Baylor fell asleep at the table)

ComiCon with Dustin-sept 2015

So Mindy found out when comicon was in SLC and Dustin bought us tickets to go. So we all went on the train to SLC. It was so fun!! Mindy and I were a little out of our comfort zone with all the comic things but Dustin was so in his element! I loved seeing our excited he got. He would yell out characters that he saw dressed up and he would tell people, cool costume! haha we had a blast and I am thinking this will be an annual thing…

Mindy was superman, Dustin was a ghostbuster, and I was harry potter.

September happenings...

The mountains are calling and I must go!

One weekend in September we went camping with my parents up immigration canyon (one of my favorites spots). We must of had cabin fever or something cuz Dean and I were so excited to go. We love the mountains and after not going to Cache Valley for all of August we were missing it pretty bad. We had a fun time going on 4wheeler and can-am rides, we played horse shoes (I won), we sat by the fire, roasted mallows, Mya loved riding her bike on the trails, we played black jack, and the carbon monoxide detector kept going off. It went off when I passed some gas (heeheehee) and when I sprayed hair spray. We survived the weekend so i'm guessing it isn't working real well.

We sure love the mountains and I never really appreciated where I grew up while I was young but I sure do now. The pines and the cozy warm friendly feel of Idaho is something you can't find just anywhere. We can't wait to be back there to raise our kids.

(Not many pics cuz I forgot my camera and my mom printed hard copies of the weekend from her camera)

Mya's first day of Preschool 2015

Mya's first day of preschool was sept 1st with On My Way Preschool with Mrs. Kiley Simons. I got a picture of her on her first day with her teacher and one of Baylor crying cuz he wanted to stay and play. I retook her picture the week after because I wanted a better smile on her:) She loves it and doesn't need any help going in and loves her teacher. I hope she always loves to learn.

While the boys are out the girls will play....

So while the boys were fishing the girls and the kids some good times…..

Mya loved holding baby Layne, Baylor also was so sweet and careful with him. I went running every morning and got a pretty pic of the barley field. We picked a lot of raspberries! We first picked a bunch in Richmond and made freezer jam, then one day we went to Bloomington and picked Great Gma Ward's bushes we also swung by north beach at bear lake and let the kids play a bit, then we made it back to Richmond to make more jam:) yum! I love the harvest time of year! Geraldine treated Annie and I to pedicures and we did some shopping without kids..it was so nice. we saw Geraldine at the smithfield auction where she works once a week. The kids loved seeing the animals come through. We made lots of yummy food and hung out at the house. It was nice to be productive but yet spend some time doing other things as well. 

Mya's pickings:)
