Here's a pic taken at the local waterin' hole. The wildlife there was amazing. Early on in the day, we stumbled upon this little forest dwelling water gnome. He was hilarious! He kept saying things like,"Dah-Dah" and "Goody"! We have no idea what he was trying to say. So we just took this picture and let the little guy go free again. Doesn't he look just like Olivia?! I love it!




Holy Cow we have a ONE YEAR old! This year has been so amazing with little Ben, we love him SO MUCH! He wasn't so into the traditional "baby with birthday cake" thing so I had to show him how much fun it was. Then, of course, Richard repaid me with my own cake in the face. He does love his new toys though :)

The first snow and it was really beautiful. Richard was like a little school girl screeching with delight.


I swear it was about 2 minutes of silence and I knew. So this was his first encounter with the flour. He was using his one little pointer finger to sample.





He's walking! We can't believe it! And the absolute best is when he's in his diapey! He does the arms in the air Frankenstein walk and everything! It's amazing to watch your first baby take their first steps.



Richard was giving Dad a haircut with the Flo-Bee. The next day we were served papers.



Bennett was helping Uncle Brady (or "Dude" as Ben calls him) hook up some electronic stuff. Ya know, man stuff.

See! So this is what I'm saying. Whitney and I thought it would be fun to build a snowman like old times and it was so stinkin' cold that this is the result. I practically stood her there, shoved the carrot in her nose, two sticks in her hand, placed the hat and scarf and said, "I'm out"! Just look at her face! My little snowman was freezing!


Big Fork 4th of July. So I thought winter was always my favorite season...I was wrong. St. George enlightened me, but now I kind of loathe winter. My snowmen prove it!


Big Fork Sunset. Makes me miss Grandma & Grandpa :)



The distinguished Dr. Nelson...


See ya next year flowers! Ugh...winter!

Hi "everyone",
Well things here are moving along well and the weather is beautiful and getting chilly. We enjoyed our apple picking weekends but they ended to quickly! Little Ben was in my tummy last time we went so it was a little surreal. It's been such a fun summer! We've had the Matt and Heather Nelson family visit for a week, and we had such a great time! We went to parks and picked peaches and had two great days on the lake. Next, Bennett and I traveled down to St. George to go to cousin Maria's wedding. That was so great to see all of our family and all of the growth spurts that have happened! Maria and Dirk were adorable and Ben and I really loved the dancing at the reception! Uncle Brigham showed Bennett a great time on the dance floor too! The colors chosen were vibrant and beautiful and things seemed to go so smoothly. They deserved an amazing wedding day like that! We then went to Bigfork to spend some time with Grandpa and Mimi and had such a peaceful and happy weekend. It was really awesome. I loved the energy of that entire trip. Grandpa and Mimi helped us feel so good! And now we're home settling in for the cold temps. ahead and learning new things everyday. Ben is 9 months tomorrow! Time really does fly when everyday is happy and exciting through a baby's eyes. Especially because I feel the same way! Well this autumn is looking great already and I hope all of you have wonderful plans to enjoy all of the colors to come! Love, Ashley
