September


I know I have been lagging lately on blogging. It's a common occurrence for me to think of something and say to myself "I need to blog about this" then I never do. I struggle with prioritizing my time, there is just so much to do and blogging gets set low on the totem pole, although someday I think it might be the most important, after all it is a record of our lives. I can't blog while Ellie is awake because sitting at the computer with a two year old is nearly impossible. So while she naps there is a list of things I need/want to get done. Eat, crochet(usually necessary for orders), read scriptures, clean, cook, exercise, catch up on tv shows, shower, edit photos, blog, veg. That's a lot of options, no wonder things fall at the waist side.  

So here is a recap of the month of September. We wanted to check out some fall colors and drove over Gaurdmans pass from Park City to Big Cottonwood Canyon. We were a little early but it was still a beautiful drive. We stopped at one our favorite places, Silver Lake and walked around the lake. Ellie is getting so big, no need for a stroller or backpack.






Picnic in the back of the car. 



Ellie kept saying "hiking to see a moose". But we didn't see any moose this time.




FHE and Ice cream. We recently started doing FHE with Ellie. Better late than never. I found a blog that have FHE lesson geared towards toddlers and it's been great.






Zucchini everything. I had an abundance of zucchini this year.


Jared turned 32 and we celebrated like adults and went to the Zoo ;) We had such a great time. Ellie walked around the whole zoo carrying her backpack. She loved seeing all the animals and riding the train. She rode a carousel for the first time and couldn't stop talking about it. "a ride a merry go round...a ride a baby elephant" 




We decided that Rosie's backside resembles that of a bear. 





Pretty sure that thing wanted to eat Ellie!









So there it is a blog post. Although I struggle to fit blogging into my list of things to do it's  usually because this is what I'm doing (see picture below). At the end of the night after dinner, bath and story time I am pooped. All I want to do it sit on the couch with Jared and thats okay!
