Mountain Picnic

One huge benefit of living in Utah, other than having some family nearby, is being at the foot of the Wasatch Mountain Range.  This past Sunday we drove up the canyon to a lake and enjoyed family, a little picnic, and nature.

We took about 10 photos of me and the kids and Madison insisted on being a goof ball in all of them...so here's your gorgeous picture Mads!

Homecoming

Mads just left for homecoming wearing a true vintage dress that belonged to Grandma Pia and was used by me and my sisters (and Madison) as dress ups while we were growing up.  She and her cute date looked amazing together!

End of Summer

This week the kids have been camping in our yard while Mike and I take turns sleeping with them.

We also had a big reunion bash with several of our New York buddies who were in town.  It was so great catching up and reconnecting.  I miss them all and the closeness we shared!
