Finally Fall

Well finally fall has arrived! This time of year brings me so much happiness. I love the beautiful fall colors, the crisp air, pumpkins, candy, and getting out all my comfy sweaters. I always wonder why I love fall so much because soon after comes winter which immediately makes me depressed. But for now I am enjoying every minute of this month. And finally we have the cooler weather to enjoy. Sunday we drove up to Snowbasin and took a hike in the beautiful leaves and sloshy mud. It was so much fun and was a much needed outing. If anybody ever wants to know what I would like for my birthday the answer is, "a beautiful fall hike with my family."


Let me also say that getting out of the house makes me realize how blessed I am. My poor husband gets the brunt of all my anger and I thank him for putting up with me as well as he does. He is truly my best friend and I had such a blast hiking with him and singing Dixie Chicks with him on the way home.


Here are some of our favorite pictures. Cody is getting really good at the photography too so I guess it's time for me to take some classes or something.

Cody, My Dad, And Brother have been doing a lot of back packing this year. I'm glad that they all enjoy doing this together. They took a trip up to Cliff Lake a few weeks ago and Cody took some good pictures of that as well. Maybe one day I'll get up the courage to hike with them but for now I have the pictures to enjoy.

This is Cody's "Self Portrait" He said he took it in case he didn't make it back. Anyway I think he looks cute. Or should I say handsome?

Apparently the fish don't get very big because of the high altitude. Or at least that was the excuse I was given.
