Fall is here... at least in the mountains

Today we went with my parents and my brother Ryan to Provo Canyon to picnic and hang out and enjoy the already changing fall leaves. Every time I am in the mountains I wonder why I don't go there more often. It was beautiful and the weather was perfect! A big open field, lots of food, a football to throw around, and rocks to throw in the stream are all my two boys need to have an amazing time. Make that three boys, because Adam enjoyed those things just as much as Ethan and Austin.

Sorry for all the pictures, I couldn't narrow it down!

I just love this picture of Ethan. Him and my dad were wrestling over the football and he was so happy.

My sister and her friends came by to see us; Austin and Ethan were very happy!

It's so hard to get a decent family shot

Ryan and Adam played with the football a lot

And Austin copied everything they did, of course

We hiked up the side of the mountain a bit. I thought Adam was going to tumble down head first and send himself and Austin to the hospital, but luckily I was just being paranoid (you can't tell in the picture, but it was really steep!).

This last picture doesn't really fit in with the rest, but it was taken today and I must say, Austin is really hitting the toddler stage full force right now. He has tantrums at the drop of a hat. I can't even remember why he threw this particular tantrum. But right before I took this picture he had thrown himself completely on the ground screaming, "No no no no no!" I don't think I'm ready for this stage again.
