Just because I can

I love riding the bus to work. Sometimes, like this morning, the bus has wifi. Driving to work and blogging. Nice.

Sunday we took Joe's mom on the Alpine loop. It was BEAUTIFUL! (Yes, I want to shout that.). We stopped at Casade Springs to walk around and eat lunch. The boys even enjoyed the excursion because as Mason said "at least with Grandma coming you can't make us hike very far!".

I am loving fall.

Fall Colors

This morning I escaped early with Melanie, Lucy, and Maren and enjoyed a beautiful hike above Farmington cemetery (I can't remember the name of the trail, duh). The hike was amazing and the fall colors were majestic. We made it to three waterfalls and past Christmas tree lane. What an amazing reprieve practically next door.

Oh course the photos do not do justice! Get out and see them for yourself.

Braves 4-0

41-0 versus Murray

Another shut out. During the second half Tanner got to play defense and did a great job. I am so proud of his hard work and dedication. I know he isn't the star, but I love that he does his part for the team. Keep it up Tanner!
