Fruit Picking

We went & picked peaches & pears today, mainly peaches. The boys had so much fun using the fruit pickers.

 

We always love eating some of the fruit as we pick.

 

Hopefully someday we will have many fruit trees of our own.

 

Porter loved getting help from his Daddy to reach some of the higher peaches.

 

I love this silly boy.

 

I’m excited to can what we are picking.

 

We had big helpers today.

 

Now to weigh in & pay for the fruit we picked.

 

The boys liked the fruit scale.

 

Tonight we stopped by Laun’s cousin Sean’s house & picked some prickly pears. We brought tongs for picking.

We had such a great day.

Soniota Rodeo

We love Soniota, it has green rolling hills & you’d never guess it was so close to Tucson.

 

Clayton & Jared

 

Our boys look so cute in a cowboy hat.

 

Several of Laun’s siblings came with their families & cousin Sean’s family came, too.

 

Cutest brown eyed boy.

 

His little wranglers make me smile.

 

The best part of any rodeo…the bull riding.

Clayton’s first day of Kindergarten

Clayton was pretty excited for his first day of Kindergarten. I have mixed feelings, but overall I am very excited, too. His teacher is Mrs. Kittle & she seems very nice. He is in the same class as his cousin Cannen Hall (Mutt & Karlee’s son) & he is happy about that. His school day is from 9:00-3:10, so it is a full day. I am excited to hear all about his first day.

Cooper's headstone

Today Laun placed Cooper's headstone with the help of his brothers at the ShowLow Cemetery. It is crazy to think that Cooper has already been buried for four months & the headstone is now just being placed. You order it and then have to wait until it arrives, it kind of takes awhile.


The Hall gang {what a great support they have been to our family}.


Clayton helping Laun

Laun helping Porter put a hand print in the cement.

Clayton's turn to put his hand print in the cement.

I really liked how the headstone turned out. Laun put it in with a tilt which makes it easier to read.

Porter & Clayton's hand prints-they are a little hard to see.

I am so glad that our boys were able to be part of the process today.

How I miss my Cooper.


The half circle is where we will plant a rose bush.

The next day we went to Gary Hunter's cabin & I took this picture of the Hall brothers.

Brandon, Ryan, Laun, and Jared Hall.

Porter loves his Aunt Laura & making silly faces…

loving all this time with the Hall family

We are surrounded by cute kiddos.

Gracie & Kalli are loving time with their Grandma Lucy.

 

Pearce, Porter, Clayton & Mason can often be found together.

 

Tonight we went out to eat, just the adults & the babies.

 

Love that Kalli- her grin is so cute.

 

Gracie, Lisa & I (Lisa & I are the only blonde ladies in the whole Hall bunch)
