Park 3

Sorry, the pictures are all out of order.  So if you want to look in order start with Park 1, then 2, then 3.  They are not three separate parks, we were at one park the whole time. Sorry it is all confusing.

I don't know if you can see him, but on the tree trunk there is a squirrel.  I had a hard time getting the boys to eat lunch, they kept chasing squirrels.

Park 2

They have just discovered the joy of hill rolling.  They want to do it every time they see a hill.  It is fun to watch.

Park 1

We have been enjoying the beautiful fall weather this past week...This picture is very different then what I am seeing now...snow, alot of snow. But anyway last week went to City Park in Denver. It is HUGE. I think I remember reading that it's inspiration was Central Park in New York. It is beautiful! Tons of trees and several playgrounds. We ate lunch there and then the kids had fun playing.

St. George

This was about a month ago...but honestly, I have not been taking too many pictures so, this is what I got. I went to St. George, UT to visit my sister and her new baby boy. Samuel James...so cute! I wish I had gotten a picture of his super big dimples. It was super nice to have my mom and sister and me there to do all the house stuff...I think it made less work for all of us. (I hope.)

Hodson Happenings

It is now starting to feel like Fall.  I love it! I just finished canning my first ever batch of tomato sauce...not from our tomatoes though.  We got a ton of, and are still getting, cherry tomatoes....but not enough to can.  I have been late getting up decorations, and the house is a crazy mess a lot of the time...but I am okay with that.  I love watching the kids play together.  I am helping to make a childhood for them...hopefully it won't involve a lot of memories of me yelling, or sobbing uncontrollably.  I feel good about life right now.  I found I can't look at too many blogs or I get depressed.  There are a lot of amazingly talented people out there and I think I am learning to enjoy their talents without reflecting it back on myself.
