fall equinox

this year in science, we are learning about earth systems. we have been learning all about the tilt and rotation of the earth, the stars and solar systems, and all about how the earth changes seasons.  well, speaking of changing seasons... today, september 21, is the fall equinox. {at this part of the world, at least.}

fall is one of my favorite seasons! {along with spring, of course} it's the time of year where i finally get to wear scarves and boots, and bundle up in a fuzzy jacket. it's the time where the leaves are changing to red, yellow, brown, and orange. it's also the time of the year where i get to eat all my favorite foods like pumpkin pie. yumm! i also love to take pictures during the fall time because the leaves are just so pretty at this time of year! so vibrant and colorful. :)

being that i live in a desert, fall comes really late for us. the leaves are just barely starting to change, and the temperature is still in the high 80's. *sigh* but it was really windy today, which means that fall is definitely on it's way!

to prove that fall really is coming soon, here are a few pictures...

i like this one because it shows the leaf changing, and the fully red leaf in the background.

that's all for now, folks.

are you excited for fall as much as i am?

Autumn Scrapblog

OK, I know it's not even Autumn anymore, but I made a scrapblog of all the pictures we took on our mini trip to Zion. (When I say mini trip, I mean only about 4 hours!) Remember this post? Well, here is the scrapblog of that.
**FYI: Scrapblog is a site where you can create digital scapbook pages. You can easily share them by making photobooks, or just simply sharing them online like I am!**



Hope you enjoyed! (:

Thanksgiving Trip

I had a great Thanksgiving! This year, we went up to my aunt Nancy's house in Mt. Pleasant for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was scrumdidilyumptious! :) I had a blast playing in piles of leaves, and hanging out with cousins. I didin't get much pictures of the actual dinner, but I did get lots of us playing outside in the leaves.

Here are a few I took...

The sunset was awesome!

My dad did most of the raking, while us kids played in the piles of leaves he had just raked! ;)

Kason seemed to like being barried. :P

Action shot!

Kason and Noah being dorks, as usual! ;)

Andelin didn't like the fact of being barried, but he did like barrying his brother!

Andelin havin fun in the leaves.

So that's my Thanksgiving! :D

What did you do for Thanksgiving??

Thanksgiving Plans

Don't you just love Thanksgiving? I know I do! I mean come on, it is a day especially made for EATING! Ok, not really. It's actually a day of thanks and gratitude, but we can pretend right?

Well here are some basic things I'm grateful for:

• Family
• Friends
• A house
• Food/water
• Music (:
• Clothes
• An education

This year, my family is going to have Thanksgiving with my moms side of the family, in Mt. Pleasant, UT. We are going to have a big feast at my aunts house. Ahhh, just thinking about it makes me hungry! Especially for some pumpkin pie, mmmm! I'm excited to hang out with my cousins, and have fun with family. I'm also excited to see NEW MOON on Saturday. Can't wait! Hope everyone has a fun, safe, and DELICIOUS Thanksgiving!

**I'll post more about my trip once I get back!**

I Love Fall!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons! My family and I went on a little mini trip to Zion to see all of the colorful leaves. Here are a few pictures...

This was a cool picture I took. I thought it looked "professional" (:

All of us kids sitting on the rocks by the river.

This was a cool statue sitting in the parking lot.

Afterwards, we wen't to an Apple farm to pick apples. They tasted so fresh and yummy!

Here are some more pics...

Kason did most of the apple picking...
