I Love The Fall!!

I just love the fall, it is my favorite time of the year! I put out my fall decorations today and it made me SO HAPPY! I love the cinnamon smells of fall, the colors, leaves changing and falling, yummy breads and soups, fall clothes, fun family tradtions, being thankful, baking, and candles burning! It is just a magical time of year and I am so glad that it is here!

Our Labor Day Trip to Duck Creek

For Labor Day Weekend we were able to go to Duck Creek (it's in Southern Utah) with Devin's whole family. There were 14 adults and 5 kids all in one house, it was really fun! It was really nice to all be together and to just be able to play! We played a lot of games, ate a lot of food, went four wheeling, fishing, of course watched the wonderful BYU game and just hung out talking and laughing. We always have so much fun when we are together. Sadie had so much fun with her cousins, she is the youngest but that did not stop her from trying to keep up with them! This was our view from the top of our 4 wheeler ride, it was beautiful.

Here is everyone fishing along the lake. This cabin is the perfect location because the lake is only a 5 minute walk up the trail. It was fun to be able to just go back and forth whenever we wanted to.

This is Sadie's new ride and her new favorite activity. She is so close to walking, so I thought it would be fun to get a walker for her. Some people in our ward were having a garage sale and had this little one that went from a car to a walker and they sold it to me for $5. I think is might be the best $5 I have ever spent. She loves it! The cabin had a big front porch on the front and she loved just walking back and forth or riding back and forth. All of the kids had scooters and bikes, so it was fun for them all to play on the porch.

It's so cute to watch her walk, I love it!

Here we are at the lake fishing.

Sadie and I at the lake, what a happy girl. She was so happy the whole trip, we are glad she is such a good traveler.

Sam and Camille, this is right after Camille caught her first fish.

Devin looking cute fishing, he was just reeling one in!

On Sunday afternoon we celebrated Camille, Diana and Brad's birthdays. Nicole planned this really fun butterfly party for the kids and they LOVED it. They all had so much fun playing games, going on a bug hunt and just running around. They are all at such a fun age and get so excited. Thanks Nicole for planning such a fun party, Sadie had a blast.
We had such a fun trip and miss everyone already, we can't wait until the wedding when we are all together again! Thanks Steve and June for providing such a wonderful weekend!
