Beautiful Heartbreak

Our team at work has been working on the new album from Hilary Weeks, Every Step.

This music video debuted today and I want to share it with you all! I love the message of this song. Grab a tissue :)

A fall weekend

We had a lot of fun this weekend, starting with a stroll in Park City.  We browsed shops like this cool place with hundreds of old signs and pictures.  

A lot of places were decorated for fall/Halloween.  There were groups going on ghost tours and we eavesdropped in on a few stories.  

A bunch of couples in our neighborhood got together for an 80's themed party.  We had so much fun with everyone!  People dressed up and there were some awesome outfits and hairstyles.  

My dad got a new tractor this week and he let me take it for a spin.  I have great memories of riding on tractors with my grandpa and dad.  I haven't ridden one in years and it was fun.

We definitely made the most of the beautiful fall weather!  We're loving it!

Bragging rights

These are our nieces

making their modeling debut.  

They are two of my sister Kari's 

four beautiful girls.

It was just so much fun to

see their smiling faces on KSL.

Our last post talks about our

fun visit with them last month.

Blanding

We took a great little road trip over Labor Day weekend. 

We went to Blanding, UT.  Scott's sister lives there and we hadn't seen her new house yet.  

Kari and Mark are so great, we wish we could see them more.  They have four adorable girls and we soaked up every minute we had with them!

It's hard to get a picture with everyone smiling...check out those two cuties on the end!

Scott's mom, dad, and sister came down to Blanding too!  One day we had a picnic in the mountains, it was really nice.  Julie and the nieces rounded up a beautiful bouquet of wildflowers. 

 

We drove down with Scott's other sister, Lisa, and her family.  We loved getting to drive with them, we had a lot of fun together.  

Scott and I were so happy to have three whole days of being together 24/7...can't beat that.

On Saturday we spent the afternoon at the pool, it was a blast!  Our little water babies were so adorable. 

The three older girls put on an elaborate puppet show, check out this cast list:

• Cinderella: a dinosaur
• Wicked Stepmother: a peacock
• Ugly Stepsisters: two socks

The weekend went by too quickly, but we sure had a good time while it lasted. 

A five minute house project

We haven't made too many changes to our house this year, but Scott did have a cool idea that we acted on...

 

We have a pile of leftover firewood from the winter, and we painted four pieces white.  It's a simple thing (took about five minutes) but we have enjoyed it all summer.
