Autumn in the air

Don't you just love the feel in the air right now? I can't help but feel a little giddy as I take in each breath knowing that Autumn will be arriving soon. I love this time of year. I love the crisp air, decorating with my pumpkins and wreaths, eating my soups, anticipation to see the leaves changing and inhaling the sweet scent of my cider spice candle. Nathan and his friend Spencer decided to have a fall kick off at our house and invite all our friends. They made chicken, potatoes, and peach cobbler in the dutch ovens. Nathan, being the fun guy that he is bought a fire pit for our back patio. It was so much fun to have all our friends sitting around the fire, making smores and getting to know each other better. The best part was that I didn't do anything but straighten up our house. He and Spencer put it all together! I love that my husband is so social and up for anything. It seems as though time is flying by so fast here. Rexy is now sitting and playing with his toys , it is crazy to think he will be crawling soon. Caroline will be turning two in a month. She is such a fun, curious girl. I love to see her go a million miles an hour(it makes me tired just watching her). I can't believe my babies are getting so big. I guess with the changing of the seasons it helps me understand that change is inevitable, but so wonderful and beautiful too.

Rigby fun overload!

Our Mimi came to visit us this last week or so and it definitely was so much fun to have her. It was a nice break for me to have her help with the kids and house work. I think I am going to miss her more than anybody. Mimi spoiled the kids (no surprise) and she spoiled us. Nathan and I were able to get away and spend time together. We had a good time golfing and going out . Thanks mom for being so wonderful. We can't wait until you come again.





We loved the zoo! This time we went to the kangaroo area. I had no idea these animals were so lovable. They would hop right up to you and eat from your hand and let you pet them. I wanted to put one in our bag and take him home with us. Caroline and Rex even enjoyed feeding the kangaroos.

Nick and Michelle came down for the weekend so we all went boating at the lake that is near our house. The water was absolutely perfect, it felt like lake Powell. Skiing and tubing was so much fun. We also jumped off a great little cliff that we found last year while boating with friends. It took me about five minutes to get the courage to jump, but I am proud to say that I did it. Michelle and Nathan rode the tube together, it took them forever to get on the tube! So Nick and I decided to show them how it's done. We had great time. Thanks mom.

One night while Mimi was with us we went to the fair. We has such a good time with food and rides. Caroline loved the slide and playing in the sandbox the most. She loved the helicopter, but as soon as she realized we weren't going with her she just about freaked. Rex was stung by his first bee, but he handled it very well. It didn't realize he was stung for a half an hour or so. Poor guy. It was a really fun night and we will definitely go back next year.
