September 2020

 We did our annual camping trip at Timpanooke with the Curtis fam. We stayed for three straight days and had a blast - a very dirty and dusty blast :)  We hiked, played games, sat by the fire, drove the Alpine Loop, and enjoyed no distractions.  Camping is a lot of work but always so worth it!

We even saw a moose up real close.
These crazy dudes loved lots of soda and treats and getting more dirty than ever before!
Steve and Rayane took our pictures one night up in the canyon. It was pretty chilly up there and Graham was not a happy camper. I started editing a few of them and luckily we got a few cute pictures still. I'll post the rest when I finish editing them.
Fall sports were in full swing. Brennan played NFL Flag and NUCS soccer and Aiden played Lehi rec flag football so it made for some very busy weeks!
One of the moms from a player on Brennan's flag football team is a photographer and took some awesome pictures of the boys playing.
Aiden played flag football and Nate was his coach. He played his distant cousin Finn one game so we had to snap a picture.
Brennan played against his old friend Hudson one day too which was fun.
Between the boys games and practices and Callie's dance and tumbling, we can be in the car a lot some days. It's always the right time of day for Graham to dose off in the back seat.
Callie loves to be Nate's little helper.  I had to snap a cute picture of these two.
We watched Tyler and James one day and Graham and I had so much fun with them. It's so fun (but busy) to have a baby around again...especially one who likes the stairs :)
Graham loves these letter cookies from Trader Joe's and had fun spelling everyone's names in our family.  He loves all things learning and school related.
For a long time Graham mainly just hung out with family but recently he has made lots of little friends in the neighborhood and now he has lots of friends and begs to play with them all the time.  Now that the older kids are back in school it's so nice that Graham has little buddies to play with while they are gone.
Graham got to make a big self portrait at preschool. He is always so excited to show me what he did at preschool. 
Nate also fixed the tramp hole in the backyard. When the old owners of this house dug it out, they didn't retain the dirt wall so it was starting to sink in. So Nate and Aiden and Brennan dug all the fallen dirt out and reinforced the walls with sheet metal and wood. It was a big project and took them a couple weeks to complete. But they finally finished it and they are proud of their hard work.
This is our first fall in our new house so I had fun decorating our porch. I love how it turned out.
