There were never such devoted sisters....

Oh my word! Weston's mother came down to visit us and to bring 

us some things we needed for the babies room. 

My cutest sisters slipped this box in for me. 

It is my common lament to miss fall time while living in Arizona, 

but because of my sweetest sisters, I have yet to really miss it :)

Dried plums and pears (promptly eaten :) canned peaches, homemade jams, fall leaves,

garden ripe tomatoes!!

The tomatoes made the BEST white pizza!

And the leaves made a much needed fall banner in the kitchen :)

Love you sisters!! 

The weather lately

We have had some historic rainfall and flash flooding here in Phoenix!
It has made it much cooler, cleaner, but harder to drive around :) 

We also drove through our first dust storm on our way to Mesa.
 I couldn't help but think of "The Mummy".

Montana

It was a Crane Family Reunion!!

We used to come to the Ranch in Montana every year as a family, but the last time I visited was Summer of 9th grade :) That time, Papa Crane got to spend some time with three very silly girls who brought their own tea time dresses :)

Here is the whole crew this time, complete with Papa Crane, Burnhams, Werners, and Packards!

There was shooting...

Basketball...

Dogs... :)

Horseback Ridding...

Rafting...

And most exciting of all, cute family pictures!!!

The Werners

The Burnhams

The Packards

Oh Montana how beautiful you are!

Lake Powell

We took a weekend trip up to Lake Powell to meet Weston's family. It's only a lucky 4 hour drive to Page from Phoenix. It was babys first time on a boat and she mostly just enjoyed the scenery :)

Thank you Packards for such a fun weekend!

August at Last!

We are now in the 110+ degree days. It is time for inside hibernation and the time seems to pass a little more slowly :) But baby and I have been up to some fun adventures with some of our favorite people!

Artisan Bread with Leslie

Strawberry and Blackberry Freezer Jam

Hee hee... I took this for my mom. Apron baby belly at 30 weeks:)

Podiatry Shenanigans!

 During summer Weston's school takes a break from science classes and focuses just on podiatric medicine. Here he is making a plaster cast of my feet for orthotics! 

And lastly the office is slowly being transformed to the baby's room! 

Here is our latest craigslist purchase!

Oh mercy and here is the crib that is full of all of baby's things until we get a dresser:)
