So....coming up this month we have our annual family trip planned to the Piute Trail. I am very much looking forward to that and the large amount of time Keith will have off! It's always a blast and I really look forward to spending time with Dad, Amy and fam. Not to mention...no baby this year! I think Gav and Max will be so much fun at these ages and really just looking forward to playing with them and being out in nature. I'm not ready for winter.
Also...looking forward to Max's 2nd birthday! He L.O.V.E.S the movie Cars so I'm planning an extravagant cake. Let's see if it turns out in reality how I'm pretending it will in my head! Can't believe that my baby is going to be 2! And I get the comment about everyday..."Time for another!" Thanks for your input...I'll decide when I'm ready :) (I'm sorry I always sound so bratty about having babies, but seriously...aren't Keith and I the parents, and not you? I hate feeling judged about how I choose to raise my family....)
Pictures, pictures and more pictures. I think we'll have to reevaluate how I handle this next year. I love it, but refer to the part about how I'm AWESOME at over scheduling. Not to mention that it seems like when I have 4 photoshoots, chicken and apple pie filling to can (not together btw!), visiting teaching, and regular duties to take care of, I get a call to, oh, I don't know, speak in church or something...
And Halloween is coming! If you have read my blogs about Halloween in years past you will remember that I am kind of a hater. Truthfully, A) It's a waste of money, so us po-folk ain't thrilled about it and B) I think it's a made up holiday just so people can dress trashy (Have you seen the Halloween costumes for women???) C) My house is too small and it's hard to accommodate people for parties and/or to do much decorating. Whine...whine...whine...I know. I've got a problem with that! Anyway...I'm being less of a Halloween Scrooge and have done a bit of decorating (I'll have to do a little bit each year, refer to the "po-folk" comment...) and I'm trying to be excited about it! The boys are BOTH going to be Spiderman. Gav was so sure that Max would want to be the same thing as him, but I said Max got to decide. Wouldn't you know we go walking down the costume aisle and all I hear from Max is "Spiderman! Spiderman! Spiderman!" Boys. So, we somehow convinced Kenna and Pais to be Spidergirls :) I can't WAIT to see them all together! I even thought I would get all into the Halloween spirit and be Spiderwoman but seriously, $40 bucks for a costume I'm going to wear for 2 hours? Nah.
So since I can't post without a picture, here is a cute one of some of my family...(and Dad, I promise you will have these finished soon! Thanks for being so patient!)

We can't wait either for the Piute Trail trip. It is always so fun! Thanks for the pictures they are great! Love Dad
1) No, you are not allowed to decide when to have more kids, that's for the random neighbor and the lady at church that doesn't even know you :o) haha!
2) You can't decide not to be a hater of Halloween!!! Don't cross that line!! It will leave me all alone on the hater side I'm sure :o) I didn't want to spend the money on costumes this year either, so I asked a whole bunch of friends what costumes they have that we could use--will save us a ton!
Always love your posts!
I don't especially like Halloween either. I don't like the dark side of it. I don't want to buy candy and have it in the house when I can't even have any! We live in a HIGH VOLUME area for tricker treaters. Jeff insists though so we don't get a trick. Enough whining.
The LITTLE children that come are cute.
I would rather celebrate Harvest season!
Great Picture!
