Fall Time!!

I love the fall!!! I love all the colors! And I love being with Kade up in the mountains. We went for a little hike yesterday to see the leaves and to see if we could hear any elk, bugling. And we got both!!! There were amazing colors in the trees and we heard lots of elk bugling everywhere! It was so fun. I just wished we had more time!



You are probably wondering what this is. It is one of those snow drift gaurds that protect the roads from getting snow piled up on them. I thought it was cool because it looks like it goes on forever:) It was at the end of our hike so we were kinda just messing around.

Just some thoughts

So today, Monday, I attended my cousins funeral. And what a beautiful service for him. It was a celebration of his life and his service to others. There were so many things that I learned about him that I never knew. It really makes you stop and think about how important family is to you. It makes you want to get together with family and extended family more often to make memories, because the memories are really what lasts. It makes you want to throw your arms around them and tell them how much you care! Life is to short to worry and stress about the little things. The gospel of Jesus Christ and our Families are the most important things we have. Im so thankful that I have the knowledge of the plan of salvation, that families can be together forever!! This life is just a stepping stone to where we will be someday! Im so thankful for ALL of my family, immediate and extended, and I love them all so much!

Jeep Ride to Marble Hill

This week has been fun but busy! We have been out of town for a solid week and its good to be back. Kade has been hunting, I went with him for a few days and then I was staying at my moms helping her remodel her house. But on Sunday, for our usual twice a month dinners at my moms, we (before dinner) went on a long fun jeep ride to a little place up on the mountain called marble hill. There are all these little rocks that are almost perfectly round....like marbles. It was cool to find them. It was nice to end the weekend with a Sunday jeep ride. It was fun hanging out with my brothers family, and my sister-in-law's family.
This is Cortley being teased by Kade.
The boys were having a contest to see who could throw their marbles the farthest.
What a view!! This picture doesnt do it any justice at all!! You feel like you are on top of the world when you are up there.
