Lately...

So it has been too long since I posted. This month has been a hacking my lungs up blur. I've been so miserable. I can't remember the last time I was this sick.  But hey, now Markham and Adelyn have it. awesome.

Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of our lives this month

Look at all those beautiful peaches!!! Our little tree was LOADED with these delicious things. We gave a lot away to friends, and still ate them like mad for a couple of weeks. We especially love them in oatmeal ♥

 and of course in fresh peach pie!! YUM! 

The kiddos were big fans

But we still had so many! so we cut them up and froze them for smoothies and dutch oven cobblers this fall. Can't wait.

 With Kaity back in school, Jackson and Addie spend time playing together. It's pretty cute. Jackson is the best brother ever. 

  The Ogden City Temple is complete and is gorgeous!!! We are so excited :) We took a drive up to see it and after ate at In N Out. What could be better?

This picture is awful quality but too cute

 The stake party was loads of fun. The kids ate pizza, ran sack races, danced, watched people get bucked off a mechanical bull, played games and ate candy.

This picture is the best. I guess Jackson couldn't reach the head of the man so they switched. ha ha 

 Markham took the kiddos to the Bountiful rec center to ice skate. Me and Addie stayed home and napped. I was worried about their ankles getting tired but they went strong for 2+ hours and didn't want to leave! 

 Afterwards, they went to Fiiz and had these yummy specialty drinks and sugar cookies. WOW sugar overload! Kaity ordered the "Mean Chic" Jackson ordered the "Summer Snowman" and Markham enjoyed a "Berry Good Dr." 

Fun times!!

So that's us in a nutshell this month.

This is the first Labor Day weekend in as long as we can remember that we are staying home. 

It's kinda nice just being us.

St. George 2014!

This year in St. George did not disappoint. We had such a great time with my fam. I took so many pictures that I feel super overwhelmed. Here are a few of the highlights--

Sand Hollow Reservoir!!

Building sand castles is so so fun! Especially when the sand is red!

Having a snack with Papa.

 Eating at Ka'ili's- a very delicious little place in Santa Clara that serves Hawaiian food. A new "must go" in St. George. So yummy. It's in a tiny old old home, like from the 1800's. We LOVED it. 

Kaity and Parker sat at their own little table since we couldn't all sit together. We were an overwhelming group.The staff handled us like pros. We'll  be back. 

Just relaxin' with Dad after a swim

 Morning Cuddles. 

It was a perfect mix of relaxing ,playing games, swimming, having fun and eating yummy food. What else could you want?! Good times!!! We ♥ St George!!

The Narrows

While in St. George, we decided to take a day trip to Zion with Dylan and his crew.  

Ready to go!! We were super excited!

On the shuttle

 The kiddos had a blast on the hike

Hamming it up

Wow, is that Kaity? Totally reminds me of when she was that age and we hiked Weeping Rock.

Oh there's my Kaity Pie- looking super grown up. 

 Uncle Dylan and Parks

The best part! Walking the Narrows.

 Spidy was loving it

 Snack Break

Perfect end to a perfect day...ice cream at the cutest shop ever. I should have taken a picture of their hours. it said "Open 11 ish to 10 ish" lol! Love it.

Good times!!

Jackson's Birthday!!

It was a "Happpy" day!

Cousin Lincoln was super excited to be there. He and Jackson are best friends and played so well together all week. 

 It was so fun to celebrate Jackson's birthday with cousins!
