the crazelnut is five.
well. the baby is five. i’m not sure how it happened. time is flying by. we held an obligatory photo shoot in the camper. and it took a million tries to get good pictures of her, because she can’t resist making silly faces. so, five. the crazelnut is the hilarious, class clown of our family. […]

pumpkin patch extravaganza.
last year, we were pretty much in the desert and away from civilization for the entire fall, so we missed out on the full pumpkin patch experience. this year, we were in salt lake city in the weeks before halloween, and with my mom coming out for some of that time, we figured we should […]
