This Fall

We have had a SUPER busy Fall! It has been full of cheering on football games, working on our yard (post to come with FINISHED pictures), playing beauty shop, having Grandma visit, and much, much more. I have loved most of it, although at times the yard brought me to tears, but alas, Phase I and II are done. I have also had the chance to be in Jacob's classroom each week and have loved getting to know the kids and to watch how he interacts at school. It has been a busy time, but I have always loved Autumn and would want to be nowhere else but outside. However, recent snowstorms have reminded me of why I am inside for all of the winter.

Jake wanted to be #7 for John Elway and play QB all season. He got a couple of chances and loved every minute. It is only "QB" at our house, not quarterback.
Mom was a nervous wreck on the sidelines.


A successful snap (harder than it looks, folks)

I believe it was supposed to be a hand off that became a QB sneak.

And then there was Anna. She spent her time perfecting her beauty skills. We had fun playing beauty shop and curling her hair. It took me about 45 minutes to convince her it wouldn't hurt. We have also painted nails in every color and tried a few other styles. She just wants to get in front of the camera. I have more recent ones with friends coming in a post too, I promise. I couldn't resist these photos though. I love that face. I swear, she is a natural.



Ahh, I LOVE Fall!

So cute. I can't believe Jake played football. I'd be a nervous wreck, too. I'm glad it's just the flag type. The girls are beautiful. Yes, we'd love to play sometime. Olivia is missin' Anna.

Why we joined this bloggy-blog world!

We hope that we can keep in better contact with our friends and family, both near and far. Besides, it is easier to see pictures this way instead of emailing them! And did we mention we think our family is pretty cute, especially those kids of ours! Check back often and keep in touch!

About Me

I am a proud 32 year old woman (you know they say 30 is the new 20!) I am married to Bart, the love of my life, and we have three amazing kids, Jacob, 6 1/2, Anna,3 1/2, and Rachel 9 mos. We met in college in Utah and lived there for the first 6 years of our marriage. Then we followed Bart's career and moved out to the East Coast. We decided to follow it back to the west about a year ago and are adjusting to life in a new place. We are sure thankful for all that we have and hope to stay in better touch with friends and family alike with our blog!
