End of Summer Business...

Summer goes by way too fast! I can't believe fall is upon us already. When I think of why summer seems to whip by, I like to think that it's because we are so busy and active all the time. But just because it's fall, doesn't mean things start to slow down around our house! Brian's parents got their mission call, I started teaching another round of yoga classes, Brian's been traveling, we've had family events, and the list goes on.

Last week my sister and her family were in town. It was so fun to have her. She took her rounds of staying at different homes throughout the week. We got to have her towards the end of the week and hosted the highlight event of the baby blessing for Parker. Baby blessings are one of my favorite things! There is always such a sweet spirit and tender feelings felt. He is such a good baby! We loved getting to meet him for the first time and having them in our home. Our family is getting so big! It was an amazing feat just to get everyone to look at the camera...and we had to take a TON of shots to get a good one!


With all of our business, we forgot to tend to the garden for a couple of weeks! Check out the size of these cucumbers! Brian had to trash 3 of the 12 pumpkins we were growing because they split and started rotting from the inside-out. Bummer...but we still have 9 left. We can tell the gardening season is coming to a close soon. but we will have plenty of cantaloupe, tomatoes, and squash to keep us more than satisfied!

Jackson has been forced to go on a "juice free" diet by his mother. I got tired of sticky juice spills and his addictive attitude. Quick fix...no juice! Problem solved! He eats better and I have to mop less. His been without juice for a month now. But tonight we served our homemade grape juice with dinner, and that's all Jackson would put in his mouth. He was going on a binge! After dinner (Jackson's "juicer") his tummy was so tight and round and full...his belly button was popping out a little! He kept complaining of his tummy hurting...but all we could do was laugh. Does that make us bad parents?
