I just love the fall time. Cool mornings and beautifully sunny afternoons. I wish it would stay fall forever! I am also drawn to warm colors, so yellow leaves, orange pumpkins and golden sunsets just fill me with peace.It’s been a mellow month, but there are a few fun and noteworthy things I want to…
(left to right: Allison, Halle, Peyton, Maddie, Jenna, Sadie, Tara. Middle ros: Naomi, Emily, Kaila, Autumn, Abril. Botton row: Phoebe, Hallie) Soccer season just ended, and what a season it was! The Golden Dragons stayed on top, dropping just one game, to end the season at 7-1. These girls are gooooood and it is so…
I don’t do it often, but I do love getting creative every once and awhile. And I’m pretty proud of how these little projects turned out! These are over a period of about 3 months, lest anyone get any crazy ideas. But now I’m exhausted and will go into crafty hibernation for the winter. Sarah,…
It has been a beautiful month! I love fall with its cool mornings and warm afternoons. It makes everything feel right. The month began with a trip to Yaya orchards. Unfortunately, most of the orchard was wiped out this spring from all the rain. But we still got to go on a tractor ride, pick…
It’s no secret at the Banks house that the kids’ birthday time usually means giving back in some way. We’ve done Toys for Tots, local toy drives, Samaritan’s Purse and most recently, Kids Against Hunger. They are so blessed and so lucky and it is really important to me that they get a tiny glimpse…

Blake has been waiting and waiting so patiently to loose his first tooth. In kindergarten, he got to celebrate as many of his friends started loosing teeth. But his have stayed firmly and stubbornly in place. FINALLY in May he had a wiggly tooth. That just kept wiggling and wiggling—refusing to fall out. But at…
It’s official. Summer is over and we are back in school. It was quite the crazy morning. Halle’s bus comes at 7:32 which is WAY earlier than we are used to being ready for school. We were rushing like mad to pull everything together and were running down the street to catch the bus. We…
Every year it’s bigger and better. This year we used 71 ice blocks and 108 donuts. It was so fun to see the kids slipping and sliding down the hill. For some reason, Blake was adamant that he was not going to participate this year. I coaxed him down the hill a few times, but…
Casa Bonita. A Colorado institution we can now check off our bucket list. Forever. We love celebrating the 3rd of July with the Rowberry family at the annual Vista Ridge fireworks. And no, that’s not a typo. Our neighborhood always celebrates on the 3rd. We got to celebrate Ezra’s baptism And check out construction on…
