fall leaves up the canyon

the first weekend in October we headed up the canyon to see the leaves in between the general conference sessions.

Mia was just in awe looking out the window as we drove up the canyon.

Who says you need boys to play sling shots? kris just teaches the girls instead...

the pregnancy bump back at 17 weeks

Bree and the girls were enthralled with this fuzzy caterpillar on the rock

uncle Jess and his "Babushka"

a valid effort at getting a cousin picture...it is comical trying to get all the kids to stay still for picture

The sound of leaves rustling in the wind, the vibrant colors of the trees against the mountainside, the joy of running through the leaves as they crackle beneath your feet, that amazing fresh feeling of the autumn air......

Yet another blessing of freedom that this little one is experiencing through a whole new light

The picture of all the trees on the hill is just gorgeous! I really like all the matching dresses. They bring back memories. My mom made matching dresses for her, me and my sisters. She also made my dad a shirt out of the same material but he refused to wear it. Probably because the material was big, pink flowers!

I love all the pictures! Thanks for reminding me how beautiful it was that day! Every year I wonder - why when we live 2 minutes from that gorgeous canyon, do we not go up there more often!

I love watching Mia "in awe" as she takes in everything new!

XOXOXO

Amazing pictures!!!! I love the dresses... Oh and the pic with the babies I can almost see (in my mind) the mom standing off to the side just in case that sweet handsome boy couldn't hang onto that baby ;) Too cute!!!
