Falling for Fall

Fall at the Mount

I treasure my weekends.

I treasure Fall.

I treasure this bunch!

This weekend we had time for breakfast, 

and sightseeing in the back of the truck.  

(A quick stroll around the neighborhood.)

God's Paintbrush

The leaves are turning early this year.

Sunday Church on the Mount

During service, 

I gave a chat today about helping Connor with scriptures.

I was actually nervous.

God has this situation under control.

Remember Sprout?  

Isn't he a cutie pie?

Carlee is going to be so mad she missed him.

Football on the Mount.

After church, the boys took me for a hike.

Who needs a personal trainer?

The park was busy today, and these two had people laughing everywhere.

I was keeping mental notes so I could write them down.

"Did you see a bear?  Are they like walking around this place!?! I don't want to hike."  -C.

"No Connor.  But there are killer snakes, right sir?"  -B.

"Oh good."  -C.

 

"Wow, you can see my house."  -B.

"It's like you can see the earth from here."  -C.

"We are not taking the strenous trail.  I don't even think children are allowed."  -Me  (and I'm out of shape)

"We are not children, we are men."  -B.

"Yeah!  I have a chest hair!"  -C.

(Connor is afraid of heights, but B. brought him to the overlook.)

"Don't touch me."  -C.

"Connor, I'm telling you right now that if you fall I'm jumping after you to save your life."  -B.

Cutie Pies

A Selfie

(AKA.  a little excuse to please let us stop so I don't have a heart attack.)

No Shirt. NO Problem.

"Isn't it cool how they made these steps to look like rock."  -B.

"Hey B., those holes are in the rocks because of all the mountain climbers."  -C.

"On the other side, do you end up in Chicago like Eminem in 8 miles?"  -C.

Happy Fall!

First Day of Fall

Happy First Day of Fall

Today was just beautiful.

I really needed to be working on back to school stuff (that I should have completed at back to school time), 

but Mr. Potato Head told me that the day was too beautiful and the children too precious.  Blame him. 

We needed go into Fall with a new haircut of course.

 A sucker helped it go a little better.

My sweetie pie is so loving she shared her sucker with the hair monkey 

(and by hair monkey I mean every kids' hair in the universe was stuck to that monkey... I'm not thinking about it).

Unfortunately, we got stuck in a FALL storm, and it ruined the 'do'.  

Between the black eye, the purple sucker mouth, and the wet hair...

we felt it was time to call it a day.

There was precious time to spend the day with a fellow loving and relatable mom!

Love You T.

More Rain

Life is too short not to feel the rain every once in a while!

Air Show Ready

As you know noise can be scary for this guy, but we prayed together that God take that fear away so he could enjoy his day.

God is Awesome.

It was an Awesome Day.

Pilot in Training

Footballer in Training (with dad for protection)

Fellow Spectators for Leaf Watching

Taking Care of Baby

(I bet her baby won't get a black eye).

Another spectator, 

watching out for Connor as he is about to turn the bend on his bike.

Cool Breeze and Sunny Day

You know what goes with Fall weather?

Shopping

A perfect day for shopping!

I picked up a few leaves for you.

We heart Fall.

Praise our God, all peoples,

    let the sound of his praise be heard;

Psalm 66:8
