Labor Day Trip to Logan
We needed to take a trip so we decided to go visit
Aunt Darcy and enjoy some time with Michaela.
Darcy showed us where to find the Dwarf Caves.
Sometimes you have to take the picture even in someone else's kid is in it.
Beautiful sight with my cute boys!
Don't Waste Your Vote
This election year I watched the primaries closely and made sure to vote for who I felt would be a good president. When my choices came down to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump I knew I had to vote for another candidate. I searched and searched and almost got excited about voting for Gary Johnson, but in the end no one represented the values I felt were needed. Finally I heard that Evan McMullin had entered the race as an independent and he was running on the principals of the constitution. Never have I had such conviction about a presidential candidate, but I wanted to make sure people knew about this candidate. In the end he lost, but I sure learned a lot about the political process, electoral votes, and my passion for politics.
These photos were taken at the opening of his campaign office in downtown Salt Lake City.
It was a pleasure to support someone who held values similar to my own!
Cort plays T-Ball
This year Cort decided to try his hand at T-ball and he had a lot of fun with it!
It was a lot of fun to watch his skills improve as the season went on.
Braxton and Kent in Flag Football
Braxton played his second season of Flag Football and enjoyed it.
He had a great coach and I really enjoyed watching Kent help coach their defense!
My Little Grocery Helper
Kent bought this wagon online for our trip to Lagoon this summer and Marshal LOVES it!
He was thrilled to help me out with unloading the milk with his little red wagon!
Payback from a Cougar fan
After we decorated the Rojas yard they decided to pay us back for the big game. In addition to our yard Ozzie posted tickets for sale to the game as sold by Kent and I. The joke was on us when we started getting texts from interested buyers who completely confused us! Well played Ozzie!
Well played!
Sept. 11
Braxton read about the attacks on 9/11 so we decided to take the boys to see the healing field and talk with them about our experiences with that day. It was a time when America was truly united being Americans!
Yard Art
Kent's mom decided to give away a bunch of her pioneer heirlooms. We were lucky enough to add these gems to our yard art. We really enjoyed how they transformed our yard.
Laying Sod with the Starrs!
Starrs have been laying sod all summer and it has been so much fun to help them out.
Marshal is our little worker who had to help out too!
Fall Leaves
One of my favorite things to do in the fall is go and look at the leaves as they are changing colors in the canyon. I can't help but snap photo after photo. Here are just a few of my favorites!
I love the stark difference of the bare mountain with the colorful trees.
Beautiful colors!
We decided to take the kids to the circus as we haven't been for a few years.
It was fun, but we sure missed the elephants!
First break
Braxton had his first broken arm from school. As we were waiting for his x-ray a mom was there with her little boy and was not allowed to take him with her to get the x-ray. Kent and I told her we'd be happy to keep an eye on him. Braxton was really good to sit on the floor and read him a book.
We were lucky all he needed was a few weeks in a sling.
The doctor said if your going to have a break this is the break to have!
Marshal loves to take my phone and take pictures.
I always end up with a bunch of selfies on my phone.
Cort also had his first day on the bus with the big kids. He was pretty excited about it.
Marshal got to try on his Halloween costume! I'd say he looked pretty cute in it!
Grandpa Robison finally drew after many years of trying for a big elk. This was the prize he came home with. We will see what grandma lets him do with it.
