Still Here

Yes, it's been a long time since I've blogged. It just hasn't been a priority lately. I've even had thoughts of just bagging it altogether, but since it's the only form of journaling I'm doing, I'll try to stick with it. So here's my attempt to quickly catch up on our latest happenings.

Hal celebrated his birthday in August. I won't disclose his age, but to me, he doesn't look a day older than 25! I made him one of his favorite desserts (or maybe it's really one of my favorites) a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. It was delicious!

Each week when Hal fires up the lawn mower, Quinn is out the door in a hurry. He must get suited up for the job. Bubble lawn mower, Hal's work gloves, sunglasses, and backpack. I'm not sure why the backpack, he just likes to accessorize.



Since Madison just missed the cut off date to start kindergarten this year, she's headed back to Brite Kids Preschool for one more year. I'm really happy about that since I'm not ready to send her out into the real world!

Quinn felt left out of the first day of preschool pictures, so he jumped in.

We managed to squeeze in one camping trip this Summer. We got together with a few families and headed over to Stanley Lake. We had a great time, even if the nights were pretty chilly. You may wonder why we are dressed in church clothes if we are camping. We managed to attend sacrament meeting smelling like campfire smoke and all!

Madison trying to make fishing look glamorous.

Madison caught her first fish! She didn't get too close to it.


All Quinn wanted to do was poke the fish's eyes. Poor thing!

Next, was the Peach Days parade in Brigham City. Our kids had a blast playing with the Schmelter cousins and watching the parade. Quinn LOVED watching all the firetrucks in the parade go by.

Hal and Quinn watching the parade together.

I had to throw this picture in. Quinn loves to eat pickles. What he loves the most, is eating them with his Dad.

Your kids are adorable! Madison is sooo beautiful!
And can I just say that attending church meetings smelling like camp fire smoke is so common around here during the summer. Our church house smells like campers from May to September - And no one even notices.
