Leo Lionni

This is one of my favorite childrens authors! I love his simple sweet stories that bring self confience and happiness in being who you are and to be content and happy with the world and to realize how wonderful of a place it is with you in it. I just had to give a shout out for him because I think he's great. His artwork is wonderful. He is a calcot winner and the art in Pezzittino is so simplistic and amazing. We just checked out Pezzittiono from the library (don't even get me started on how much I love the library! We are faithful visitors who go every saturday! What a wonderful resource!) Anyway, just to give you a taste, I will tell you the summary at the beginning of Pezzittino: Little Pezzettino is so small he is convinced he must be a piece of somebody else. A wise man helps him discover the truth.
Anyway, go to your local library and enjoy!

Fall Family Fotoshoot...

We got our pictures done yesterday! They turned out so cute! Go check them out at http://winkfotos.blogspot.com/ Thanks Emily you did such a good job and it was a lot of fun!

only 6 weeks...

So Isaac has only been playing piano for 6 weeks now, and he can already play this! I am so proud. He only has 2 measures of the song left to learn and he is so psyched to have learned it all! I still can't believe he's 8! He's going to be baptized in a couple weeks, and will be starting cub scouts soon too! He is such a wonderful boy.

Ahh the memories!

This ones for you Mom! You used to think my hair was at its best when it was totally poofy and frizzy! So I took Livys hairdo out, and voila! Instant mom classic. It made my laugh so I had to post this for you. :) LOVE YOU MOM!

Autumn Outing

Our family went up Cedar Mountain this afternoon to witness the beautiful fall colors. Georgous! And we all had a wonderful time. This is our second anual "autumn outing." We brought up a pot of chili, and some cornbread and had a picnic and ran around in the woods laughing. So much fun! I have like a million pictures I would like to put on here, but here are a few faves... Last year when we did this, there were like 6 hangliders circling around above us, then they landed like 50 yards away from us. It was amazing! This year we went up the the Girls Camp and the colors and serenity were perfect. Plus enjoying nature with my family is always so memorable.
