Fallin' for Fall

Well, it's taken me 30 (er. . . give or take 3 or 4) years to decide but, yep, I've finally decided that fall is officially my favorite season! We went up to a cabin near Aspen Grove Friday night and the colors were so GORGEOUS that I had to take a picture of us with them. This doesn't nearly do it justice, though! I should have taken a picture of the hillside! Seeing things that beautiful and being out in nature always makes me realize how great Heavenly Father and Jesus are. Our world is truly breathtaking and Heavenly Father knows every tiny bit of it and every star in the heaven. It makes me realize how incredible it is that He created and knows every single one of us and that there are so many people out there not aware of who they are and how I need to help everyone I can to realize it. Sometimes when I see something as beautiful as the mountains were that day I think Heavenly Father put it there just for me. That suddenly sounds quite self-absorbed but I think sometimes He really does put something there just for each of us to see.

A little Genealogy

Well, I was doing a little genealogy lately - you know, like I do all the time - and came across some pictures I'd never noticed before of some little known relatives. I guess these were their graduation pictures or something. Attractive looking bunch. That one from 1966 is HOT.
Sharon, graduated 1968
Michelle, graduated 1974
Karen, graduated 1966
Tiffani, graduated 1994 (Talk about a good hair day! You don't get that kind of height just any day. She must have known it was picture day.)
Susan, graduated 1962

Who does Nicole REALLY look like?

I got this off Jen Davis' blog and even though she didn't believe it's very accurate (and neither do I after seeing Breken's results!) I still thought I would try it out - with a little experiment of my own. I have always thought Nicole looks more like Woodson but apparently that's not completely true! She only looks more like Woodson SOME of the time! Check out when!

Things that I love to see

I am so blessed that I get to look at these faces every day! They make me so happy! After looking through some pictures I had taken recently I decided I would just post a few that made me smile - for various reasons - when I looked at them. Unfortunately, since we don't take pictures of ourselves very often, I didn't have a picture of Woodson - otherwise, he would be on here too! Anyway, here's a few of the things I love to see: sweet little girls who love flowers
happy kids
chubby little bodies and necklaces
big smiles
my kids having fun
well, whatever this is, it makes me smile
