A Few of my Favorite Things

Fall is hands down my absolute favorite season of the year. There are so many fun things to do and so many beautiful colors to see! We truly live in a beautiful world. This year has been an especially great fall, and I hope it lasts just a little longer! It makes walking around that SLCC campus a little more enjoyable.

I went to witches night out last Friday night and it was spooktacular (ha ha). I love the ladies who invite me to go, and I don't ever want to miss it! It was very nice this year being able to actually move around and sit down to eat at Gardner Village. Oh how I love that place! Especially this time of year. It's very entertaining to go and see all of the fun costumes, and hear Halloween music and of course cackling-(I'm working on my cackle). There is actually a stage that you can go dance on with fellow witches and I hope next year we all get the courage to try that one out!

So tonight I had this brilliant idea. Thinking I would be doing my dad a favor, I told all the little dudes to come help me rake the leaves in my yard. Well to make a long story short I think we made a bigger mess! But hey, we made some memories and that's all that counts right?

I hope you all have a fabulous fall and a happy Halloween!

No Longer Mysterious and Magical

Weighing in at a whopping 12.5 pounds...
Farewell to the biggest squash I've ever seen growing over a fence.

Spokane!

Spokane was so wonderful! We left last Friday morning and stayed until Tuesday morning. It was snowy on the way up, and really cold the whole time we were there! ( I guess it wasn't much better in Utah!) Isabelle was baptized and confirmed which was SO awesome to be there for. I didn't see ryan, but my parents did! They were on their way to drop a package off on his doorstep and ... along came Elder Penman riding up a hill on his bike! He gave them both a hug and they were able to talk for about 15 minutes. They said he was glowing with happiness and he was the epitome of a great missionary. :) It was really weird to see pictures right after my parents saw him and talked to him. We were only about 35 minutes away! I did go exploring with my mom and found the mission office and a church sign Ryan had sent me a picture of. I had a wonderful trip and made some great memories with my brother and his family!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Honey! I'm Home!

Well I am back from Spokane. It was a GREAT trip! Pictures and details coming soon!

Mysterious and Magical

Meet the "magical fruit" Kaleb and Cameron found in my backyard on Sunday. It's not a fruit, but it may be magical. This big ole' banana squash grew up and over the the fence from the neighbor's garden! Cass and I told them that if they kissed it they could be magical too. Kaleb liked kissing it a little too much. What great aunts we are! Now...I dare you to guess what mysterious fruit this is!

This is a banana that was found on the back seat of the suburban. I can't believe I touched it.

What the!?

We just fed the missionaries dinner at my house. Get this, one of them left the toilet seat up. I've never had to deal with this my whole life. It freaked me out. That is all.

P.S. No offense to the missionaries themselves... they were real nice.

The Amazing Half Cat Half Chicken!

Since it is finally October I thought it would be appropriate to show a sneak peak at Harriet's Halloween costume. I found it at Target and could not resist. She doesn't appreciate it as much as I do, but oh well. She really is a chicken too, so it fits her nicely.
