Day of Painting and colors

Finally painted the bathroom and finished the baby room! What a difference it has made! Otherwise everything else is pretty normal around here, gratefully! The leaves are changing colors and I haven't downloaded pictures for a while to show, but if you get a chance to see go to the mountains, the colors are beautiful! Fall is finally here and we are enjoying the change in season as much as possible... how is everyone else doing?

Summer 2010

We've been having a great summer. Here are some pictures...

Sandy Beach in Utah

Yep! We found one! An actual SANDY beach, like being on the ocean/gulf in utah. Best of all it is only a few minutes away. If you want to know where, write me and I will give you all the details. Also, there are lots of small fish for fun fishing, which my husband likes, just to catch something is fun. We also found some great get away camp sites along a neat river. Here are some pictures of us having fun.

June is Here

So much going on, now that summer is at hand. We still go on walks everyday that we can, enjoying the mountain air, sunshine, flowers, trees and everything around us. Here are some pictures I wanted to share. Larbear is getting big, almost walking, but still crawling... he enjoys going outside alot.

Say Goodbye to my cat - Miss Boots :(

Today I say GOODBYE to my first cat who ever loved me as her own. She was my boots, Miss Boots. She got her name by the three black paws whe has and the one tan one. She was my favorite cat ever. She came to me and loved me whenever I needed her. She snuggled with me when I was lonely and sad. She slept with me, comforting me through nights. She loved me and I loved her.
She was hit by a car approximately 3:30 pm today. I found her and her body was still warm, as I was heading out for a walk. She was on the side of the road. I took her home and said a prayer, letting Heavenly Father know how much I loved her and please take her home, hopefully so I can see her again one day. I asked for comfort, with tears running down my face, and felt Heavenly Father's plan, death is a part of it. We all have to die. I was comforted knowing I will see her one day again.
I am grateful for the time she has shared with me, playing fetch, walking beside me on walks and being a great cat. I buried her outside my bedroom window, under a tree. When I miss her, I can still see her in my mind's eye and know she is happy where she is.
Here is one of the last pictures I took of her, not too long ago. I miss you Miss Boots. You will forever be my first cat.
