Autumn

Cameron: "I love autumn!!"

Adam: "I am ADAM not AUTUMN!"

Cameron: "No Adam, I'm saying Autumn, not Adam."

Adam (screaming): "ADAM! ADAM! ADAM!!!"

We went up in the mountains today to see all the leaves. We hiked around a little bit and enjoyed being outside with out baking or freezing.

For the life of me I can't get all three to look at the camera at the same time.

Everyone wants to ride on Dad's shoulders. (And cries when it's not their turn.)

The boys found a 'stage' and performed an Indian dance for us and some passers-by.

I am fantastic

I have fallen off the blogging bandwagon. In an effort to not be my typical, complaining self, I'm going to brag all about me!! Isn't that what this whole blogging thing is about anyway? Here is a little list of the things I have done this week:

• Painted the basement (by myself)
• Rearranged all the basement furniture (with Eric's help)
• Took all the kids' toys away (go ahead, call me Mommy Dearest)
• Installed two new light fixtures (by myself)
• Used actual coupons at a grocery store (with help from my friend)
• Purchased and installed 3 sets of blinds (by myself)
• Replaced the thermocoupling on the water heater (BY MYSELF)

So I might not have dinner on the table every night by 6:00 sharp and my house might occasionally smell like guinea pig and I will eventually be mother to the only un-potty trained kids on the block, but I am one handy lady!

Yesterday we got to go to Heber to ride the Heber Creeper with Grandpa Bob and his girlfriend, Glennie. It was such a great autumn day with all the leaves just starting to change. At one point Cameron turned and said, "This is the best day of my life!" Just knowing that made it a great day for me too. Here are some cute pictures of the train ride.

Cameron was thrilled to have a whole seat to herself

Adam fell asleep on Grandpa's lap
We wished Luke would have fallen asleep.

We had to keep him in a head lock to keep him still.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all!
