September

TIME OUT

It's hard to guess what the standard form of punishment is around here. Apparently this baby doll was being pretty naughty.

HOBBLE CREEK PARK

Caroline is a huge fan of the water!

PHEASANT

This crazy bird wouldn't fly over the fence... it was making me crazy. I finally got Jared to chase it out. He was ~~a little~~ quite a bit more assertive than I was.

SWIMMING??

TOO COOL

SUNDAY WALK AROUND THE PAYSON TEMPLE

It hardly looks real!

TRAINS

This little guy loves playing with the train tracks.

CAMPING AT JOLLEY'S RANCH

We had a nice time (except for the sleeping part) camping in the beautiful fall leaves. We had a couple friends join us and had a nice evening around the campfire.

The Friday before Labor Day we went with some of Jared's family and my nephew Derek for a one night stay in the Unitas. It was beautiful!! So I can remember later we camped near the Cold Creek area. There were tons of fun ATV trails and we had a good time. The scattered showers made things a little interesting, but it was still great!

I wish you could see Ben's face better in this picture. He was so happy and LOVED riding on the ATVs.
He's such a Ridges boy!

Hikers

Fall is in the air and I just can't handle staying inside when it's so nice out!

We talked Justin into going with us for a short hike to the Grotto up Payson canyon. Perfect day for it! Caroline walked the whole way and Ben walked the mile in and was carried out... he probably would've walked but it makes for a much slower pace.

Then a few days later I took two other nephews and my children to the "Y." The big boys went all the way to the top, but my kids and I just moseyed. We made it a few switchbacks and enjoyed the beautiful morning. They were good little hikers.

Month of the nephews!!!

We had a fun month getting to spend a little more time with my nephews this month...

Justin arrived August 9th after driving out here with Grandpa Leckie and stayed with us for about three weeks...

Derek arrived August 22nd and stayed here for 4-5 days before he got good and moved into his apartment at BYU...

And Dustin arrived August 30th and only stayed one night before reporting to the MTC.

Utah County Fair.

We saw the 4H horse show, the lego exhibit, the kids corner, a monkey show, and lots of sheep, cows, chickens, and Caroline got to hold a baby bunny. (If I hand't been trying to make sure she didn't drop it I would've taken a picture- so cute!)
