My recent addiction....

For my birthday, in June, my dear hubby got me a new camera. I have wanted a really nice camera for a few years now. I have been having so much fun with it! I love taking pictures. Learning about photography has been intriguing to me. I am now addicted to it! I have been reading and reading! There is so much to learn, it's crazy! I am now on a journey down photography lane and I am just at the very beginning. I thought that I would share a couple shots of Peyton. I took them in August, they are my favorite's so far!

Fall...

I love fall! I love it when the leaves start to change and our surroundings are beautiful shades of orange, red, and yellow. I love how the air smells crisp and clean. I love to see the the holidays start to roll in and the fun it brings. To kick it off we went to the corn maze! Are hubby's had to work and so the girls and kids went without them. It turned out to be so much fun! They had slides and swings, goats to pet, and a corn shed to play in- which was Peyton's favorite. The kids made it through phase 1 of the maze in no time and then attempted phase 2. After we kept coming to the same place and moans and groans of hunger, thirst, and tiredness. They all decided to just back track and go out the way we came in. Even though we were more than half way to the exit. So we all tracked back and went out the entrance. Then we had hot dogs and pop and launched a few pumpkins and then came home. The kids all loved it and had so much fun! Then the next sunday my sister-in-law brought tons of peaches over. I thought how fun it would be to make jam. I hadn't ever done it before so my wonderful mother came over and we listened to General Conference and made yummy peach jam. We had a great time together and the jam turned out great! I thought it was another great way to welcome the season of fall!

Circus fun!

A few weeks ago Peyton and I went to the circus with Uncle Tim, Aunt Mara and Porter. Peyton had a lot of fun! He and Porter mostly loved the animals. Peyton loved sharing Uncle Tim's popcorn and pop with him. Tim and Mara spent the whole time wrestling with restless little Porter. They decided they are good on the circus for about the next five years or longer. Porter and Peyton love each other so much. Mara says that when Porter is around Peyton he turns into an animal. He just loves to wrestle with Peyton. They both get so hyper and are literally bouncing off the furniture! Peyton is so patient and good with Porter. I love to watch them together. Here is some fun pics of our trip!
