My wish for the future is that Grace will grow up happy and healthy, be smart, independent, and beautiful on the inside and out:


As long as she gets whatever she wants out of life, I will be at peace.

Our Favorite Fall Tradition

One of our favorite fall traditions is our day trip to Staheli Farm in Utah. It's always during soccer season, so we find a Saturday when the girls have early games and drive up afterwards. This year, we got Zac and Stef to join the rest of our group. The girls were so excited to spend the day with Presley and Paxton at one of their favorite places. We got there in the early afternoon, and the weather was beautiful. It's always hit or miss with it being hot or cold, but we lucked out this year. The kids ran straight for the corn slides, and jumped right in. Brother wasn't the biggest fan. Probably due to this corn kernel that we found lodged in between his toes afterwards.

...Perry played with the cones at soccer practice and kept trying to put them all on her head like hats.   ...Poppa fed her yogurt melts while she walked around. ...she snacked on some blueberries when we got home. ...she snuggled with her chicky chair while watching Moana . ...Grace and Perry made music with their xylophones. ...Charley made a s'more at school and couldn't wait to show Gracie. ...we went to Grammy and Papa Rick's, They were going to be out of town for Charley's birthday, so she got to open her presents a few days early. She got the coolest tea set from Matilda Jane that she is now obsessed with, and this cool crab that floats in the pool that you can lay on. Perry claimed it as hers immediately. We went out back to see the horses, and found some ladybugs on the fruit trees. Perr wasn't a huge fan of the horses. She liked to get close, but she didn't like to touch them.  ......
