Five Months Later

I've had a request to update my blog. Hmmm, it has been a while, Ashley! Thanks for the nudge to get back here. Alrighty, a few highlights of the last five months, with pictures!

We went to Sterling's family reunion at Bear Lake near Logan. Our favorite day was spend on the beach. Sand, boat, water, sun - sunburn. Good times! It was really nice to be with all the cousins and families. There were 25 cousins and 17 parents and sibling/spouses.

The kids went back to school. Morgan is in 5th grade. Gavin is in 3rd. Reagan is in 1st. Austin is in preschool through the city. 

When school had started, and we had not gone camping as a family, we brought camping to our home. We had a campfire a couple of weekends and we also set up the tent and camped. It was much warmer than heading to the mountains in September.

This is a recent picture of the family. We went hiking on Labor Day.

Then the birthdays...we had a celebration week in August. Sterling and I had our 13th anniversary, followed by my bday on the 24th, Sterling's on the 25th, and Austin's on the 26th. I wish his birthday was first in line, we are pretty partied and caked out when its his day. But everyone needs cake on their birthday. I won't give mine up! Gavin's birthday was just this week, he wanted the United States on his cake. We put the nine candles in states he has been.

This past weekend we headed up to Breckenridge for fun. We were able to see the aspen trees changing colors. It was really pretty. We hung out in the hotel pool a lot. It was fun to get away.

All caught up! Let's hope for at least a monthly post from here on out.
