Pictures speak a thousand words

Dear blogging world,

I can't remember the last time I posted a picture of my life...I don't think I even posted pictures from the happiest day of my life already 4 months ago. I have been, what you can call, a slacker. I have not being keeping up as diligently as I should be with writing about my life and in someways I have missed it. There is something releasing, calming, and exhilarating about typing all your feelings out, spell checking, and pressing publish sending it into the web world to be read by people I know and sometimes by complete strangers. 

Please accept this post as an entry back into fervent blogging, storytelling, and experiencing life through the eyes of this chick. 

Me. 

Tonight Mr. Call and I had the opportunity to head down to Payson to visit the Payson Calls: Mike, Becky, Adam, Sam, Matthias, Lizzie and Madelyn. I. Love. This. Family. And there are days that I yearn to go down and visit and spend time with their exciting conversations, their wild imaginations, and their amazing fruit out of their amazing garden. Did I say how amazing Becky's garden is? Holy cow, it is one that could be deemed the brother of the Secret Garden. Such beauty. 

Anyway, down in Payson UT every year there is a carnival/fair that is held in honor of Payon's coveted vegetable, the onion. There are monster truck rides, parades, lawn mower racing, and a corn maze carved out with letters for UVU. We got to walk, I mean run through the maze with the older kids as Becky and Mike meandered through the maze on their own with baby Madelyn. 

I swear these kids found every nook and cranny of this maze in less than 30 minutes. 

Also you may not have known that I chopped my hair in celebration of my marriage, just kidding. I really had always wanted to chop it off but in the back of my head wanted long hair for my wedding day, so I stuck it out. It was beautiful just like I had planned and then I wanted it gone and now my husband has more hair on his head and face than I do...on my head. I don't grow hair on my face silly. 

Now you can really see how short my hair is, do you like? My friend Sarah says I resemble Meg Ryan especially from the movie, "You've Got Mail" I kinda of see it and then I don't. 

This is lizzy and she is one of my favorites, I hope to one day have a little girl like her.

This is Adam, he is a smart-smart-smart kid but has a complete passion for video games and stick fighting with his brothers. 

The others pictured are Adam and Matthias who are endearing in every way possible.

Mike and Becky reaching the end themselves. Success. 

Down in Payson they have the amazing privilege of getting an LDS temple built only a few blocks away from where the Payson Calls live. The ground breaking was about a year ago and hopefully in a year or two we will have the 15th completed temple in Utah. 

Monday nights are my favorite especially spent with family and those that I love. Thank you Payson Calls for letting us coming down and spend a night with you family, for feeding us, and for letting us get lost in a corn maze before it turned dark. 

Isn't it true pictures are worth a thousand words?
