Donut Falls & Friends

We took advantage of the beautiful summer-like weather and headed up the mountains (before they are covered in snow) for a short hike. The trail to donut falls is only about 3/4 mile and the kids all had friends to keep them company so there was no complaining. We really enjoyed being in the beautiful mountains and the kids loved climbing around the falls with their friends.

On our way up to the falls we saw 4 moose incredibly close to the trail.

Fall Soccer

Owen has told me many times that he will not play football because he's been to so many practices and games for Zach and Ryan that he's already sick of it. He will only play soccer and maybe basketball...we'll see. But for now he is playing soccer and loving it. Although, he's so intent on scoring that he yells at his teammates to pass him the ball and gets upset when they don't. I love watching him run down the field. It's amazing how fast his short, little legs can run.

Happy Birthday, Ryan!

I can hardly believe that Ryan turned 9 years old this year. My boys are growing up way too fast. This year we had a birthday dinner for Ryan and Aunt Patricia because their birthdays are so close. Ryan didn't mind having a flower on his cake, as long as there was a football helmet too. We love you Ryan, with your fun, energetic, loving personality. We love your strut and they way you make everyone laugh. You make our lives happier. Happy Birthday!
