ROCKTOBER 2013

Kday's sister pointed out how perfectly this picture portrayed the kids in this family. Layla: posing and hamming it up as usual. Rider: always looking for a bird and in his own world. Owen: sockless and ready for the next big adventure, looking around for places to discover. And Kashi: perfect, timeless and so patient with his little babies. 

Can I just start out by saying... I'M BACK BABY.  It's been thrown out there before, and I've falsely reported my comeback numerous times. I was trying so darn hard to force myself to feel normal again and lets be honest, it's taken ten times longer than I had expected. This whole unplanned pregnancy, adoption, moving, life changing in every single aspect stuff rocked my world. I was driving down the road the other day and suddenly a switch flipped... all was "normal" in my world again. Finally. After 2.5 years. Wow that's a long time, but that's neither here nor there because.....

IT'S ROCKTOBER!!!!!

It's my birthday month, as well as my all time favorite month of the dozen that are offered each year. Life is just perfect in October, it always has been and it always will be. You can read about past Rocktobers here, here, here, here, and here.

Pumpkin patching, halloween crafts, autumn hikes at snowbasin, skeletons galore, woofums... just a few of the amazing luxuries of the months festivities. Plus weight loss, and work out regimines are in full swing and that will all be documented along side the normal traditions... like carving 100+ pumpkins. Oh, your family doesn't do that every single year? Weird.
