Taking a hike

We decided to spend a weekend with Shasta and the family before heading back into the routine of fall; school, activities and the holiday rush. It was so peaceful. We took a nice long hike on Saturday--venturing out with all the kids. They loved it and there were no mosquitoes!!! We just visited, watched Leave it to Beaver and played with the kids. Braden even made us pancakes for breakfast. Sunday, the missionaries came for dinner and we were treated to steak and key lime pie. On our final day, we spent the afternoon on the Baisden's boat. It was so nice just to relax.

Jayden's new trade

Looks like Jayden's found his niche...small engine repair. He was able to repair Dad's trimmer and then show Kenzie how to edge.

Breck & Sienna Come to Visit

Breck and Sienna

I miss those kids already!!! We were so blessed to have Breck and Sienna come stay for the weekend while Josten and Sarah ran off to the Oregon coast for some fun! Admittedly, it's a little harder on me these days chasing two and three year-olds around but at the end of the day, when you see their sleeping faces, it's hard not to smile. Mackenzie came to stay just to help me out...what a sweetie! Colby was here for one night and went home exhausted...ha!! Our seven year old grandson couldn't keep up with Breck. We stayed pretty close to home but I cleaned out a section in my garden so Breck could play with the dump trucks. That's all he thought about was "playing in the dirt". We watched several kids movies-which I loved and just basically followed the kids around and played. Sienna braved a ride on Papa's tractor while he mowed the lawn. What beautiful little kids...thanks for trusting me with them.
