Fall

I'm not quiet sure when I actually fell in love with September. But somewhere along the way it has become my most favorite of all the months. Ya, I said it! There's something about it, it's the calm before the storm. It's like when you're about to swim the length of the swimming pool and you get in a few really deep breaths. September is my deep breath. Before the cold sets in and the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Before the flowers and the grass all die and lay dormant. The trees are just barely starting to turn an ever so slight shade of red. It's the perfect time for picnics and camp outs. Unlike the Sping and all its wind, September is calm and inviting. Take a moment and enjoy the month. I'm enjoying every last drop of it!

Proverbs 21:19 Look it up...Its a good one

Trever got his elk!
He's been hunting for the last week, and on Wednesday morning he got him. He's a 6 by 7...I think it's a monster but Trev's under the impression that it's a decent Bull. Needless to say, the boys think its the coolest think since sliced bread! I have to give credit to the guy, killing anything with a bow and arrow is difficult let alone a "monster" elk.
Well done Babe! We think your pretty dang awesome.

I Have a Cousin...

She doesn't always look like this... she' s just exited to see you! Well, my sweet cousin has a husband.









This is my favorite picture of him. Yes folks, that's a 50, this was the day I decided this kid wasn't that bad of a guy. Y am I tell you all this, you ask? I like these two people. Sure they leave posts about how awful of a cousin I am and are constantly correcting my spelling errors, but I don't care. I love them with every morsel of my heart.







Laura is without a doubt the kindest, most thoughtful, compassionate, loving, empathetic, genuine, heartfelt, and sincere woman I have ever had the privalge of calling my friend.
She is my cousin, bestest friend, bosom buddie, soul sister. I need to tell her that more often. She is everything that is good in our gene pool rolled up into one small, teeny tiny, itty bitty, package. I want to be just like her when I grow up!

Sean's a cool guy. He's a total Hottie (don't tell him I said that his head's pretty inflated already) He's such a hard worker, he helped in creating one of the cutest little girls that ever roamed the earth, he's so smart (he knew a good thing when he saw one and married her) I kinda like the guy...

So, not the best or the coolest "Birthday Post" on the block...but the most heartfelt one.

HAPPY DANG BIRTHDAY LAURA AND SEAN!!!
(i promise i will forget again next year ;)

More Adventures at the Lewis Lodge

This weekend we had the pleasure of having three of the coolest cats come and stay at our house, (their parents aren't too shabby either) Dave and Jess's crew came up for a visit. We had such a good time. The kids ran wild, nothing new for my boys, and us bigger kids got a good jump on figuring out all the "mysteries of the universe". Here are some pics! Love you dave and sweet jess!kisses to daisy, brodi, and wee little lily!
