Here come the Holidays! First up, Milo's Birthday!

Can you believe it? Milo is 2! As per the norm, we kept it low key and just had a little celebration at home. Cookies and cream cup cakes, and Cars cars for a present. I love the simplicity! What more could a 2-year-old need?

New Harmony

For "fall break" we decided to take a little vacation down in southern Utah. We found a vacation rental property in New Harmony which is about half way between Cedar City and St. George. We went with our neighbors, the Michaelson's. This place was perfect! It was on a 50 acre ranch that had animals galore, a party barn that had a theater, pool table, foosball table, and ping pong table as well as stuff for horse shoes, Frisbee golf, tree houses, and plenty of room for the kids to explore. Did I mention the Jacuzzi? We had such a great and relaxing time! In fact we were enjoying ourselves so much that we didn't really get that many pictures in. We did manage to get family pictures taken, so those will be coming soon, as soon as I get them from Summer.

 This was the view from the house. Those are the five fingers in Zion National Park. Incredible.

 Oh, and the fishing pond! We didn't catch anything, mostly because Scott wasn't patient enough and this kids were done after about 20 minutes. But fishing! Fun!

 This is Milo and Leah "feeding" the ducks and fish with grass and duck poop. It was great.

 At the park during the "Apple Fest" that they had on Saturday while we were there. Mostly booths and a playground, but we did get some delicious fresh squeezed apple juice to have for breakfast in the morning.

 The party barn opened on both sides to animal pens. And one of the pens had DEER! How crazy it that! Indie ate it up.

 Chillin' in the hot tub.

 All four of our girls in the bath together! I remember doing things like this with my friends when I was young. So much fun!

 Feeding the ducks our leftover bread at the end of our stay...Milo and Indie mostly ate it themselves.

 And playing in the leaves at the church that was nearby. I love fall!

Skool...for me.

I just had to put this out there...I just submitted my last paper for my last family history class! I now have 2 credits left to finish and about 6 weeks to do it in. And I'm feeling confident that I can do it! I am so ready to welcome graduation in DECEMBER! GO ME!
