testing, testing, 123 testing...

 Thomas helping Mom in the kitchen and giving me a little cheek

 Bath time at Grandma's (not sure how old Reid is here but he no longer gets a red rash from his drool)

  Kona Temple. Easier doing temple work in Hawaii than at home b/c you don't have to plan around any schedule.

I've just downloaded my first pics & video from phone, they are random and outdated but who cares...I did it!

 Sweet apple picking a week or so ago and it really was sweet b/c they were free! Ahh, I love fresh free fruit. I only took one or two of the pictures below and Liza took the rest...she's a pro!

Now doesn't it feel Fallish? Definitely.

WE

LOVED

 VIRGINIA CITY

 ON

 LABOR DAY

We thank the Rasmussen Gang for including us on this Groupon deal...a train ride that included watching a reenactment of the Civil War, a parade that we chose to miss b/c we just wanted to sit in the shade for lunch but next year we will choose to watch it. I never knew Labor Day could be so much fun!

Amelia turned 6 & I barely caught a picture at the end of the day, she loved the whole day b/c her sisters doted on her non-stop & yes she still loves Hello Kitty (going on 4 years now, she's loyal to what she loves) Happy girl!

 The next day we went camping overnight, very big deal for me to go & maybe not the wisest choice I made b/c it ended up be a freezing cold night even though it was almost a 90 degree day. At least I did get 2 hours of sleep, that was awesome. Other than that it was a perfect spot with a site right by the creek. Kids looooved it and are ready to go back and they will...with just Dad.

 This picture is just beautiful...I rarely get both boys to sleep at the same time during the day!

 Early morning fishing...James grilled them all for Sunday dinner & everyone had to eat it if they wanted dessert, it worked.

Kids need dirt. Maybe even a piece of licorice after breakfast too.
