The Cage...all she wanted today, COOKIES!

Proud Mamma!

My little monkey came up to me today while I was mowing the lawn and asked for a rake. I figured she wanted to play with it so I got one out. A while later I found this....

These are the leaves on our neighbor's lawn. Sweet girl said "I just wanted to help someone mom." These moments making everything else worth it.

Back on top

I am back to getting things done again...Even though the Buddha is 3 months old:) I'm a little slow.

I have been trying this month to work on setting goal again. I used to have lists of goals every year while I was working, but for some reason since then I dropped off. I have definitely noticed the difference in even the smallest aspects of my life. I decided today to set the short term:)

I've been inspired by my beautiful sisters the past few months and the examples they have been showing to me. They both have goals they are working towards. My little sister has been working her butt off, literally! I'm so proud of her and have decided it's time to join in on her drive and enthusiasm. So I started to work out more seriously this week. I have been walking and running from time to time but nothing steady. Well no more excuses!! I decided having two tiny ones is no longer my excuse, it is my reason. I refuse to be the chubby mom.

Beyond the physical goals I am also trying to set financial goals again. Michael and I once paid off 20k in debt in two years with goals. So there it is...out of debt, and quick. I have been trying to work here and there to make some extra cash to help. If anyone hears of anything I can do-from home or a few hours a week-please let me know:)

Well speaking of the short term, I really need to get the laundry folded:)

Utah Football

We survived our first Utah game being outnumbered:) All three kids were great, as usual.

Kake, Daddy, & The Cage-She's wondering what they are doing:)The annual family Utah Football picture...last year we were 4, now we are 5.

Kake, Mom, Buddha's Head, & Auntie

Me & Nat...I think we have a picture like this from the past few years also:)

Kake-So VERy full of energy - so very opinionated - I wouldn't trade it for anything.

We had a great time. The game was great as well. Final score Utah 45 New Mexico 14.

What ran out in front of our car on the way:)

It has been a hectic few months around our house. We finally got the internet at home...after 2+ years with out. The man of the house says he's going to have to have it for the next chapter of our lives.

We have been busy having fun this fall and also busy making life altering decisions for our family. There is a lot to tell but for now I'll leave you with the pictures:) I've got to go get ready for the Utah Football game...This will be the first attempt with the full load of children.
