Taking it Easy {per my doctor}

Per my doctor, I have been taking it easy the past few weeks. Not much fun but so worth it in the end. I am now 36w. CANNOT believe we will be a family of 5 in 5 weeks or less. I am already feeling incredibly blessed!


So, I haven't had the opportunity to take many pics in the past few weeks. I am dying to get out & take pics of the beautiful trees, pumpkins & all things fall...especially since I upgraded from a Nikon d40 to a d700. HUGE upgrade...thank you hubby! I will post some Instagram pics for now...

Fun at the library

Cleaning House!

Upon moving into our {awesome} new house, I vowed to keep it super clean. So, to keep up with this HUGE task, I created a cleaning schedule {weekly & monthly}. I found lots of templates/samples online but decided to come up with my own since none of them quite fit my needs. So, after a week or two {with my hubby's help} of creating & tweaking, here it is! I am sure more changes will be made but I think this will do for now. {You are welcome to use the template. Send me an email (texasa99ie@gmail.com) if you would like the template.)

Baking From A to Z!

A is for: Apple Pie!

Neighborhood Ice Cream Social

On Saturday evening, we hosted a neighborhood ice cream social. Our neighbors are awesome & we love getting together with them! I only snapped a few pics at the beginning. The rest of the time I was busy serving ice cream or talking. :)

Uintah Basin Christian Academy-Pre-3

Avery started preschool last Thursday. She was so ready to get back in school & wasn't anxious about starting a new school. This is her third year of preschool & her third school. Move much? :) We feel blessed to have found this school. We have also been attending church here.

 

She was just a little excited!

Heber Valley Railroad

Two weekends ago, we went to Heber City, UT to ride the Heber Valley Railroad. Avery had been requesting a train ride for quite some time & she finally got to experience it! Although, she was scared to the point of shaking when our train was hijacked by some outlaws. Overall, the kids enjoyed the ride & it was a fun family outing!


I have no idea what happened with my camera setting! Bummer!

Wyatt was purposely looking everywhere but at the camera!

Enjoying the view

Of course, Wyatt would rather stand than sit

 

Everywhere we go, Wyatt makes new friends. He chose a sweet older couple this time. While the train was stopped, he repeatedly asked them, "why stop?" They were so sweet to him!

Enjoying the violin music

Summer Fun

One thing about Vernal we are extremely thankful for is the great summer weather. We can actually play outside & not sweat! The kids are outside quite often. Here are some shots of us playing around one afternoon.
