Fall 2013

And my great "catch up" continues.

We enjoyed a great long weekend with Grandma Carol, Mac Mac, Uncle Bill and Aunt Linda in Breckenridge. The boys were showing off their skate park talents and wrestling as much as possible.

The boys and I have started learning about mushrooms and they enjoyed sharing their new knowledge on our hike. It is amazing how much they remember and how good they are at finding the edibles!

My boys are so thoughtful and bring me flowers often.

Dylan and Gideon enjoyed playing soccer this fall and we went to a weekend tournament in Crested Butte. Another gorgeous part of our state.

Fall is always tough for me, bittersweet to say the least. I mourn the loss of summer while reveling in the beauty and color that surrounds us.

And back to Moab...

The boys are getting braver and more capable by the day. They will climb up just about everything!

Moab Mud Monsters!

Colter loved having the chickens. This one was "Danger Chicken"

Halloween is still a family favorite. We went all out this year!

Best puking pumpkin ever! Dylan had the best kindergarten teacher ever, Ms. Erin Thompson. She is amazing and he loved her.

Colter started off the year homeschooling, we decided to give public school a try part way through the year and he ended up with Mr. Matt, another awesome teacher!

Dylan was the happiest Vampire in the parade, he couldn't stop laughing.

Trick or Treat with the Blakney's has become a super fun yearly event. I will be sad when the kids are "too big" to go with us.

The striking beauty that surrounds us still makes me stop in my tracks and go for my camera. I think I have hundreds of pictures of Ajax.

Monopoly and board games were pulled back out as the days got shorter in our little cabin.








I will continue to chip away at the backlog in between all of our current activities and adventures.
