Welcome Fall.

I love you Fall.

I really do.

And can I say....fall brings so much

nostalgia

for me.

simply sweet.

I miss my Utah fam the most when the leaves change

and Halloween draws near.

Pumpkin pies start to appear at stores, and

Thanksgiving decorations are on the shelf.

o00h how I love these

next. few. months.

and can I say to you dear blog,

I miss you.

I simply do.

and I miss pictures and collages

and capturing life moment by moment.

my days are filled.

They are just so busy. but wonderful

Life is literally nonstop.

fun. enjoyment. fullfillment.

but so so

busy.

that is an understatement.

honestly.

I have never been this swamped.

I mean in a good way.

In a raising a family of four way.

The kids are so involved.

in school, in sports, and in all their activities.

Jake is competitive soccer, Ashlyn rec soccer.

Austin began competitive basketball and Jake overlaps

with basketball-

Ry with his softball leauges weekly,

my young women calling wednesday, sundays.

Love it all.

But honestly- non stop.

Last week I clocked 75-91 miles a day.

A day!

I burned through 2 tanks of gas in a 5 days.

And I can't complain, I love being a stay at home mama,

but man, we work overtime. Our days are crazy.

I am loving that fall is here, but had no time to take it all in.

I want to stop, enjoy the days, feel the breeze,

put my pumpkins out,

and feel the nostalgia.

We had soccer tournaments all weekend and basketball too.

7 games yesterday, all over this Denver area.

Ry and I love it. Love watching our kids excel and work hard.

Jakes team beat the #1 team (in State) Ireland! (yes finally!)

and Austin lead his tourn in rebounds (way to go bud!)

It teaches them so much about life, making goals, and following through.

It doesn't leave much time for much else.

school, work, sports, church and a little bit of play.

But I love you life, I really do.

As busy as you are, I am trying to soak up all of these little moments,

tuck you away and remember,

remember what it was like to be in the middle

of all of this hustle and bustle.

because I love it. and my life, and my kids.

and my dear husband who works so dang hard

so this can all happen.

I love you Ry

and

I love you my kids.

Now hopefully I can jump on board on blog again,

more consistently.

It's my favorite time of year,

the colors, the sights, the smells...

it is fabulous.

Welcome Fall.

xo!
