Getting Wood

We found our tree with our initials carved in it and the year we got married.

The pretty colors of fall.

Paper wasp nest that I found.

Well it's that time of the year again. We went out this last weekend to get a load of wood to burn for the winter. We went out with Ben's brother his wife and three of there kids. They left the older two boys home. We went up to Aspen park and the weather was perfect. Not too hot but not to cold. The colors are starting to change on the trees so it is so pretty. We had lots of fun the kids had fun playing around on all the trees. While we were up there Ben found a tree that we had carved our initials in the year that we got married. So we took a picture with it and the cut that section out of the tree and brought it home. The tree was dead by the way so we just cut the rest of it up for fire wood. While I was gathering up the last pieces of wood to load in the truck I found a nest or hive what ever you want to call it. It was a paper wasp nest but nothing was inside. It was in a tree that got knocked down so I found it on the ground still intact which I thought was cool. So I took a couple of pictures of it.

Picking Berries.......At the Berry Farm.

We went to the Berry farm here in town. The kids thought it was the coolest thing they loved picking the berries. We picked raspberries and they were delicious!!! We are planning on going back to pick more raspberries and blackberries when they come on. The people that own this showed us how to pick and where and just left us to our selves. The kids helped out and loved every minute of it. We got two baskets clear full to eat and I made some Jam with the left overs. Can I just say the berries were good but the Jam turned out amazing!

Labor Day

Aspen loved Carter pushing her around in the dump truck.

This picture is of Ben and the kids climbing out of the ice cave.

We went up to Cedar Mountain this year for Labor Day. Most of the family came and we had lots of fun. The kids played well together and played every minute possible. Ben and I took the kids to the ice cave and Patton freaked out. He was terrified! But Addilee thought it was cool. We mostly just hung out with everybody and enjoyed everyone's company. We had lots of fun Thanks everyone!
