Sacagawea

John got upset with me because i didn't post the "Sacagawea Picture," as he calls it, so here it is. This is when we were heading on our hike, and this is why John thinks i'm the best wife in the world ;)

Fall Fun

We went up the BEAUTIFUL wellsvilles....And went on a little hike....We hiked to a beautiful lake (AKA: A puddle)

And saw a bear (not pictured)---but not to worry, we had John's trusty bow and his mighty fine aim....

And we made it home just fine...AND saw some AMAZING sites

We really enjoy taking Jack with us on our adventures, he seems to like them too :)

This is a separate adventure-up Logan CanyonJohn's purpose was to shoot a pine hen with his long bow. Mine was to find enough pine cones to make an awesome wreath. My mission was accomplished......... John's was not.
Not that he didn't try....Where's waldo- i mean John?
Mom, Debbie, Simeon, Dane and friend Michael came to visit this weekend. Somehow this is one of the only pictures i have to prove it. I'm pretty sure somebody was taking pictures the whole time, i just guess it wasn't me....

But i did snag a picture of my mom's wreath we made with the pinecones, it was beautiful. Mine is still a work in progress since we ran out of glue sticks....and pinecones.... good thing we know where to find some more :)
All in all we've been having a wonderful fall, i LOVE fall!

"honey i don't care, i ain't in love with you hair...."

life goes on...

So i've started running again, not a whole lot but what i do sure feels nice. Anyway, lately John and Jack have come with me to the river walk, i run it while they walk it. This was just after we got Jack all bundled up and ready to go, i think its SO cute!
Jack and I also went and visited Dad at work the other day, ate with him. This is John and Jack enjoying the ribs :)

our somewhat matching day....thanks John for the pic :)


how can something so little, be so perfect and so full of love? I love my little man. I love being his mom. Oh, and i'm watching for a BOB revolution stroller to come my way, if anybody knows where i can get a good deal on one (besides KSL and Craigs list) let me know :)

Home, conference, blessing. Great weekend

Our sweet eskimo boy on his way to the blessing. I LOVE his outfit, John was blessed in the same one :) We were so blessed with TONS of people supporting us and little Jack in Manti. I'm so glad i got sick last time we planned the blessing and had to end up doing it in Manti, it was so fun to have so much family able to come. We love our families! Thanks for you support!
Grandpa's just chillin'

Four generations on my side. John's grandma left before we could snag a picture of his four generations. Its weird to think if i'd of had jack just 2 years before, i could have had a 5 generation picture. We miss you Grandma Giles!





Great G-ma Thomas Great G-ma Peterson
This is Jack watching conference.... i don't know how he got away with sleeping through the whole thing!


Just watching conference with Grandma V, lol, we loved this picture of Jack, his cheeks look HUGE!

I lOVED general Conference. I'm always so excited to read the talks again later, especially the ones that i miss. I'm excited for the ensign. We wow, i've felt so blessed all weekend long, we're so blessed to have living prophets to teach us the way to go, we're so blessed to have such wonderful, supportive family, and i'm so blessed to have such an amazing man for a husband. Oh, and we're sure blessed to have Jack, we still love him ;)

Dad and Jack






Jack has an amazing dad. And i hope Jack realizes how cool it was to be blessed in his dad's blessing outfit. I love it

Fall fun.

Our latest Family Photo :)
Pretty leaves, beautiful hike. Good times.



Us. obviously

Isn't it beautiful! I LOVE the Fall!


I love Jack's big eyes

John had to bring his fishing pole, that sad part is that since he was holding Jack in insisted on trying to fish, he warned me it would be find of hard with the river, the mosss, the tree's all around etc but i thought i could do it. Anyway, with the first cast i got a snag on the bottom of the river and lost John's bran-new favorite Lure, never even used before....and i didn't catch anything.


John's inovated way of holding jack's binky in for him


Getting ready to go hiking....
Jack's stunned, "whats going on look," so cute
