{a couple of months....}

have neglected this bloggy big time--it has become random central.   This time of year always get the better of me...and i got lazy.  I have vowed to keeping better tabs--and get posting some more...to those who actually still read this ol blog....here is a lil of our september--mostly iPhone style.


visited to the brigham city temple open house, and snagged some fresh peaches....

{and some instagram september....looks like we like our sweets and bevs! }



the good stuff doesn't last long in our house. Pelligrino fans. Finally found the right shade of blue for the front door--the casa is coming along..

we can't live without our fans in the house....addicted....and maybe the same with krispy kreme..a problem.


the kids cat love, sibling love, book love, and new chair love.....

{huntsville marathon}- the 10 am start made for a hot and miserable day indeed. I was going for a PR--wanted to beat my 3:20-and started off great--I got to the half at 1:31--and it all went to crap from there. I met a friend and hit a major wall at mile 15--and was dunzo mentally and physically--i will have to say that i felt awful...so disappointing--but got er done-. The real victory was my sis did her first marathon! and she felt amazing! way to go linds!

look who got her first real haircut...kinda love it. Lil Nora has been cracking us up lately--she is talking like crazy and such a funny/happy lil peanut...

{a rainy day}

fall is in the air... don't you love it?? my favorite time of year....There was an evening just a week or so ago that was stormy and perfect. An evening when you want to curl up in your pj's and socks...which is exactly what we did....and it was swell...

{in a nutshell}

again i am reminded that you better hold on tight, because the summers fly by in the blink of an eye.......and the kids are growing up so fast....i want to remember these little moments. Life is back in the crazy stage of running kids to school, preschool, soccer, and getting our house together..but i wouldn't have it any other way..
a glimpse of August for me and mine...

a trip for some summer eats after back to school--in the end everyone was wishing for nora's soda---which she shared....for the most part
