A Picnic and A Park

One of the last days of warm sunshine my sweet husband and I went on a little picnic. It felt wonderful to soak in as much sun as possible before bright days become rare. We enjoyed some very healthy grilled chicken, mash potatoes, and juicy corn on the cob. Drowning into the blue sky on a blanket with my man made a perfect day at the park.

Delicious Hot Schmoes

Crackling sound of light

Holes to heaven so clear

Summer breeze fills the space

Life so fresh and lush

With winter rushing to join us it is sad to leave behind summer nights. There is nothing more refreshing then spending time in the mountains we are so blessed to have. I love driving through the canyons filled with so much color and life.The smell of campfires always makes it seem like summer. The Larsen family had our last summer campfire a few weekends ago. The sweet boys love exploring and getting sticky with roasted mallows.

"Don't worry, Woody. In just a few hours you'll be sitting around a campfire with Andy making delicious hot schmoes!"

"They're called S'mores, Buzz."

 

21 Candles

Family dinners are always fun, but cake and presents make them even more special. Nate has finally reached 21 candles. The little brother I grew up playing make believe restaurant with is now legal. Happy birthday and tons of love.

Baby girl, Caroline, loves birthdays since one of the perks of being two is you help blow out candles and open all presents even if they aren't for you!!

Besties Lunch Date

I love that it doesn't matter how much time has passed since we last saw each, put best of friends together and we pick up right where we left off. Britt and I have been best of friends since middle school. Put us together and we can't stop talking and giggling. It was so fun catching up with her and her adorable two-year-old, Jaxon. She and her hubby are expecting their second boy early November. They are lucky boys to have her for their momma. I am so excited for them and just love having her in my life.
