Visit to Star Valley!

 Matt and Jen invited us along to their cabin in Star Valley, it was a little cold, but so worth it!  We always have so much fun with the Thompson's!  We lounged around the cabin, explored outside and went on a hike to Periodic Springs.  Periodic Springs is a spring that exits the mountain intermittently.  The river flows and then completely stops about every 15 minutes!  What a fun weekend!

Flag Football!

 Brodyn get's excited every fall for flag football!  His team this year were the Broncos.  Luckily the weather stayed quite warm even the late games were not uncomfortable.  Football is Brody's favorite sport to play.  This year we finally got around to buying some football gloves which he just thinks are so cool!  This game he made two touchdowns, he was thrilled because Evan his favorite cousin had come to watch and it was pretty special for Brody to have Evan cheering on the sidelines for him!

Caterpillar Watching!

 Every fall we walk the 1/2 mile to Grandma Thatcher's house and look for monarch caterpillars.  The last two years we weren't able to find a single caterpillar.  This year the mother-load was deposited all over our milky weed!  We found one caterpillar after another.  We came home with about a dozen little caterpillars.  What a beautiful and amazing butterfly the monarch is!  We had so much fun watching them through their cycle!

Ahhh Fall!

 What a terribly HOT summer we had.  Fall could have come earlier the heat was so unbearable.  Luckily Fall finally arrived and with it comes canning!  Here we are picking peaches in Brigham City again!  I just had the energy to can peaches this year, we will miss the pears!  Our favorite are peaches!   I love picking my own peaches because I get very little bruised ones and always end up with a box of fat perfect ones! Yummy!  Melissa and her girls came this year for the first time to pick their own peaches as well.  The kids always have so much fun!
