Less Talking, More Pictures

Is a blog more of a journal or a scrapbook? That is my dilemma. I spend a lot of time talking about myself, my thoughts and feelings, and probably need to focus a little bit more on the real stars of my show--my kids! I do enjoy writing and "waxing verbose" about a lot of things, so that will inevitably continue. But, at least today, I'm just going to show off some fun stuff!
Gavin's first day of school. It's not exactly a milestone, since it's just another year of preschool. He even has the same teacher again this year. But, nontheless, he was very excited! His preschool is now at the new PG Rec Center which is only about 3 blocks from our house. So, I walk him to and from school everyday. And yes, even 3 blocks sends me into contractions!


Now for some pictures from some of our end of the summer mountain adventures. The big boys--Daddy, Gavin, Uncle Brian, and cousin Oakley--braved the cold and snow on Labor Day to go jeepin' through the mountains! Crazy! They felt so manly that they had to go Cabela's aftwards and eat Buffalo and elk meat.

Me and Jessica wouldn't venture to the mountains until it was at least 25 degrees warmer. So, we took everyone last weekend for a picnic and to let all the kids take turns going on jeep rides with Mike. It was so fun, but you can definitely feel Fall in the air up the canyon. I hope we can squeeze one more "adventure" in before it gets too cold.

I was asking myself the same question: journal vs. scrapbook. Since I've basically stopped writing in my journal when I started the blog, I think it's more for me than for posterity. And I talk waaaaaay too much about me. :)

Fun pics! I just wanted to tell you that I feel your pain about those darn contractions. I always got horrible contractions for the last month of pregnancy but they made for super speedy deliveries so I guess they were worth it in the end. So be prepared to have your sweet little girl in record time!
