Fall Hike with My Parents

Friday, October 2nd.

I love fall. I love seeing the leaves change. I love finding unique leaves during fall.

I wanted to do my annual hike up the canyon behind the Capital Building. This year we brought our neighbors son, Hayden. The kids were so excited their friend was going to come. Mom and Dad and Sarah and her kids came too. They brought Sienna (that way she wasn't stuck in a crate at home waiting for Shay) was a little bit of a handful with all the kids. Kept wanting to trip them up with her leash as they would run by. And Uki just wants to go as fast as the kids. It's amazing these pictures turned out as good as they did since I was taking them one handed while walking Uki.

The path was dirt and was very dry, so there was a lot of loose dirt in which the kids loved to play in while waiting for the adults to catch up. My kids were filthy by the time we were done with the hike. But getting to the top of the mountain was a beautiful view. 

Hayden took these group pictures for me. It took a lot for me to trust him with my nice, big camera.

 Jake and William frequently fall asleep together at night when Jake is snuggling him.

In an effort to clean out the garage and move ABC Decor's work stuff out of the garage since Bindy and I haven't worked in over a year...we bought a metal shed that we put together and then moved out back. I went though all the dishes that we had kept for the Business and threw a bunch out and kept some. We moved those from the garage to the shed. That was actually quite a bit of work. Glassware is heavy.

We put up a green night light for Lizzy and moved the beds around.

We got rid of this couch because it was so gross. The kids have just killed it with all the food and drinks they have spilt on it. So Jake got out a lot of pent up frustration about it all by taking a saw to the couch. I would say he actually enjoyed it. We even found money tucked up in the couch.
They he loaded it into the van and took it to the dump.

This Child sleeps so crazy. I constantly find her in weird sleeping positions.

see...weird positions.

Our new kitty, Kit-Kat, still hides and freaks out when anyone is near him.

Birthday Party Next door at Abel and Mariah's

September 27th, 2020

Our new neighbors were having a birthday party. I'm not sure if it was Junior or Mariah's birthday, but the pink castle makes me think Mariah.

Ok, they had lived there for months at this point, but it still felt new.

I was grateful they let my kids participate. Jake even sat and talked to the adults that came. 

I ended up leaving early to go to a photoshoot. 

But I know the kids had fun.
