fall break

we decided to stick around for fall break and just have some down time.

i like having down time with the kids.  i love where we live, but sometimes i ache to get out for a bit and have a change of scenery, so i convinced abe and his posse 
to go to the movie- once i was a beehive:)
it was soooooo fun!  vivian really wanted to come along for the late night, so we brought her,  pajamas and all.  vivian was thrilled to be there and the boys were highly entertaining.  
just the thing i needed!




the next day, i took the kids and we hiked to the Y in provo. 
it's something i have never done.
it was steeper than i thought.

as she was riding on sadie's back, vivian said, "i'm tired."  haha!
we took turns carrying her.  i'm grateful for my kids.  they look out for each other.  they were all happy to help her make it to the top.


this is my crew. 
we help each other.  
this is what i do.  this is what i have done for the past 18 years.  that's a lot of my life.
they have no idea how much they mean to me and how much i hope good things for them.
i enjoyed hiking and spending the day with them.  
we finished the afternoon at waffle love. then a speed round at the DI (abe's super into thrift store shopping, so it was the cherry on top of his day).

this is what the end of a good fall break looks like:)
