Fall is in the air!

Well fall really is in the air, and I love it! I love the changes of the seasons. The different feelings each one brings. It seems every time fall comes around, I find myself wanting to get crafty. It always puts me in the mood for really great soups and stews. Just being cozy in the house. Anyway, we got a super weird virus on our computer and had to take in to get it fixed, so it has been a while since I have written.

Some good friends of ours had a Hawaiian-cowboy party last weekend with a roasted pig and everything. The food was awesome, it was good to catch up with friends. And the kids loved riding the horses.

Also, last weekend Grandma Jean got us all together for a weenie-roast up Spanish Fork canyon. It was beautiful! The leaves are just starting to change and the view was wonderful. I can't believe this the only picture I got that night. Lucy and Sadie deciding whether or not to get in. Well they did get in and got soaked. But they all had fun. It was great to see everyone! we missed you Heidi!!!!

Happy Birthday Aunt Cindy!! Last Monday we went to greatest restaurant to celebrate! It is called Bucca Di Beppo and it was a blast! If you've not been, you should put it on your list. The food is super good and the atmosphere is so fun. They have every inch of that place covered with the most random pictures and statues and just weird stuff--it is great . I could have just stayed there all night looking at the pictures. I had to put this photo in to redeem myself from the one on Lindsay, Heather's and Amanda's blog--talk about Jaba! Anyway we had a great time cacklin' and hootin' with mom and Cindy. With them it always promises a good time! I love you guys--missed you Heidi.

Saturday Cody was still on the mussleloader's trip, so I loaded up the kids and we went to SLC. We went to Liberty park and the Tracy Aviary. We had so much fun, the weather was perfect, except for the fact that I almost got attacked by a peacock. I swear those birds most know I am afraid of them-it never fails every time I am the one they come after! This time the kids totally abandoned me and left me for the crazy peacock. All they could do is stand safely on the side and watch while their nerdy mom ran around screaming her head off, trying to get away from the dumb thing.
I wish you could see this picture better, it is a Golden Bald Eagle, and just about the most beautiful thing you've every seen. They are pretty amazing, just how big they are. We also got to see a couple of really creepy vultures and a condor that was bigger than me. It was a great day with the kids. They always make it fun.

This is random, but I am so excited for the Body Worlds exhibit in SLC. Has anyone been yet? What was it like? That is all I want for my birthday this year. We were talking about getting everyone together and going-so let me know.
