CHAMPS!

Some people mumble under their breath about their in-laws, but I am so blessed to have married into a darn good family! Check out these champs:

These handsome young fellows did us proud on Wednesday at the state cross-country meet. On the left we have Benson, coming in strong as the number 2 runner for Mountain Crest. Next to him in the middle is Daniel, number 1 runner for the team and 9th overall! On the right is their next door neighbor, Addison. We had so much fun watching them run. It was my first time at a state cross-country meet and I loved all the chaos as people ran back and forth to cheer on the runners as they passed by on different spots of the trail. Way to go Uncle Bens and Uncle Dan the man! We're so proud of you!

Hmmm, they must have a really awesome big brother. Well, actually I guess I have to say older brother. Jacob is quickly getting passed up on height. Don't worry Jacob, I love every square inch of you!

Oh, and Daniel and Benson: I guess it's alright that you run for Mountain Crest and not Sky View. *sigh* I guess we can't have it all....

Update

Hi there, this is Ty. My mom didn't put the best picture of me sittin' in my Bumbo chair, so now you can get a better look at just how handsome I am. Aaaah, life is good. Sorry ladies, you'll have to wait another 21 years til' I'm off my mission.

FIRSTS

I love the fall. I certainly can't believe it's here already, but I love it. Hopefully we can enjoy the cool for a while before the cold comes in to kick it out. So, we've recently had a couple of our "firsts" that signal summer has gone for the year.

-Last night we had our first chili for the fall. Which of course was accompanied by cinnamon rolls. With caramel frosting. Delish. We've had rain (a LOT of rain) this week and so it was a perfect night to stay in from the cold and have a nice hot dinner. Yea, some wives beg for nice weather, I actually beg for the cold and wet. It's just the only time I can actually get my husband in the house before 9 or 10 at night!

-We started our first fire of the year this afternoon. Many thanks to the fact that our furnace won't start. Nice. It fired up just fine about a month ago when it was nice and hot outside, go figure. I HATE paying for repair men to come! Perhaps it will just magically fix itself. I'll keep you posted on that one.

-And here is my little Ty trying out his Bumbo chair for the first time. How does one baby get so darn cute? His mama must be really good-lookin!
