I must say that Prescott is just beautiful in the fall, and with all the cooler temps lately it is so gorgeous here. I did what I promised, the first chance I had with the kids out of school we went on a great hike up into the mountains and to the lake to play. The leaves look gorgeous so many shades of deep red, orange and gold. I love fall, love it love it love it!! Here are some pics to prove it.

The kiddos are staying healthy so far, thank God. I'm constantly putting sanitizer all over their hands, I wish they would make something I could put all over them, keep the germies away. We are trying to eat healthy, take vitamins routinely and wash hands (often). I'm really proud of Nathan, he has been a thumb sucker for the last few years and this whole flu thing may just be the thing that breaks him of this nasty habit. We had a talk about germs and the flu the other day and how yucky it is for him to go to the grocery store and then put his germy thumb in his mouth. Wouldn't that be nice, learn to keep the thumb out of the mouth thus germs out, woohoo I would be super excited about that.

Manuel took the whole day off yesterday, boy I had missed him. Although he had a honey do list a mile long we still had a fantastic day, we managed to get almost everyone a haircut to boot, great day.

Today is a day filled with laundry, cleaning and packing. We are gearing up to head to Santa Fe. I wasn't planning on going again so soon but it's time to bury Papa up at the ranch. Well have a wonderful rest of the week.
