This little moment just made me laugh. Boys and their tools, honestly what is with that. Thiago was getting all the little baby locks on our cupboards and as you can tell the two little ones were completely fascinated. Carson had to be right by dad's side "helping" and as far as our little monster is concerned...well he just had to be in on the action too.

Had to make treats for Friday mornings meeting. Cherry dessert is always a winner. I have good memories of mom and Ash both making this so I thought I'd give it a try. It was delicious. Frosting went a little goofy, but it still tasted good.

Box Elder County fair...always a night to remember. What stands out the most to me this year, is this little guy. No fear on this boy. No ride is to big for him. He wanted to ride them all. I so admire his go get em attitude about life. He may be small in size but not in stature. His presence is undeniable and I do believe he will go places in this life.

Another Tuesday night spent with my lovely Young Women. The little goofballs, they sure do make life interesting and keep us leaders young. I find myself thinking "did I really act that way at that age" several times throughout the night. Love their energy and their youthful ways, they are a joy to be around!

Only for a sister would I spend the whole day, and I do mean the WHOLE day scrubbing her bathroom. From top to bottom we scrubbed, scrubbed, scrubbed. So happy for my little Smith family, life is finally throwing them some good luck.

Not every day you see something like this out in someone's yard. However in a Brazilians yard...not that abnormal. Getting ready for our Brazilian BBQ. Yum...grilled steak, chicken and my favorite the pineapple.

It's official!! Our house is up for sale as of this week. Breaks my heart to think of leaving. We have loved this house and have shared some of my most treasured moments here. We started our lives together here, brought both of our babies home to this house. Shared holidays, birthdays, lazy summer afternoons. It will feel like we are leaving a piece of us behind when we leave. However, it is time. We feel certain that this is the next step for our little family. So with a whole lot of faith, this little sign now stands in our yard.

Missing my boy tonight. However, I know he is safe and sound, was tucked in and kissed by his 2 favorite aunts and surrounded by all his little cousins. A fun filled day for him, and another one on its way tomorrow. No doubt he is having pleasant dreams. This boys momma however is missing his sweet kisses and little arms around my neck. Sleep tight, baby boy, don't let the bed bugs bite.

Got the chance to take the Young Women to Stake temple day for baptisms. We were there from 3:30 until almost 8:00. It was a very long day, and near the end the girls started getting a little restless. I didn't mind to much though. It was very touching to see all of those youth in the house of the Lord, taking on those sacred covenants for those who have passed on. These youth truly are our future, and I do believe they were saved for these latter days.

My little boy is growing up!! Can't believe I actually have a kid getting ready for "Back to School". It is just crazy to me. Went and met Miss Sarah and got a look at his little classroom. Carson just walked right in there, chin held high and smiled. Makes my heart melt just a little.

Thank heavens for sisters and hand-me-downs. Spent the day going through Brevin's old totes and pulling out Lincolns new fall wardrobe. Best dressed kid around. Kinda nice having all these boys....got plenty of stuff to choose from.

9 months ago...WOW. This little love has been blessing our lives for 9 whole months now. Crazy to think he is now the age of the time that I carried him for. 9 months takes on a whole new perspective when you think of it that way. Love you my baby Bujao, in so many countless ways. How grateful I am to call you mine.

What is better then sleeping in all morning, and waking up to this. French toast made by my awesome little honey. He is our Sunday morning breakfast cook. Yummy, and girls it was ever bit as good as it looks.

Don's Meats...our new Snyders. I used to drive all the way out to Snyders when I wanted some good grillin' meat. Thiago and Souli discovered this little place in Sunset, tiny as can be, but so dang good. They just opened a brand new one in Syracuse, right across the street from Walmart. Stop at Walmart for my groceries, then on to Don's for some awesome steaks. Yum...can't wait for Sunday dinner.
