Halloween Visitors

This past weekend my sister Sarah and her husband Jeff decided to be our first visitors!! We were so excited to see them! We went to the Spectrum, ate dinner at Cheesecake Factory, shopped around and ate Golden Spoon.








Then on Saturday night we were feeling festive so we carved pumpkins and made caramel apples.











It was such a fun weekend and I am so glad Sarah and Jeff came to visit us!! Who's next to come visit??

Seasons

Spring is when all the flowers start to bloom, the grass turns green, the trees start budding, the sky turns blue, the sun comes out, birds start chirping and sprinklers start rolling, shorts begin to appear on white pastey legs, and swimsuit shopping starts.

Summer rolls around and the sun is hot, tans and burns show, the smell of hamburgers fill the air, lemonade stands come into sight, chlorine smell never leaves, and lazy days are present.

Fall begins and school starts, the closets fill with jackets, jeans and long sleeves, summer tans hibernate until next year, the leaves start changing and falling, the air turns crisp and there is a chill that fills the air. The holiday season is just around the corner, colds creep in, and the parks become more empty. Pumpkins start to appear on door steps, and decorations become visible.

This time of year is when delicious recipes begin! Pumpkin flavors desserts, hot chocolate is sipped and everything is so tasty around this time of year. A few of my favorite things that I enjoy in these few months are:

Cheesecake Factory's Pumpkin Cheesecake
(you have got to try it!)


Homemade Artichoke Dip, hot chocolate,
and caramel apples.



Oh how I love this time of year!

(ps I know I didn't say anything about winter. That will have to come another day.)

There's Only One October

For two reasons...

One: Conference

Although I did miss the yummy HALLOWEEN mix (which consists of: mini oreos, goldfish, stick pretzels, candy corns, and black and orange peanut m&ms) I was able to watch it with these cute girls and my hubby on Saturday and then my in-laws on Sunday.

Liza Jane Ruby

Cason and I watched our nieces Liza, Ruby and Jane this weekend and boy was it a treat! It was fun to play house while their parents went out of town. We went to soccer games, straightened and braided their hair, played Barbies, danced and played.

two: Angel's Baseball

Even though they lost (which was a bummer), we were able to go to a playoffs game on Friday night. Cason and I both got off work early and headed to the game with camera in hand. But of course I forgot the memory card so I only have pictures on my phone. It was an entertaining game with lots of excitement, but we lost. Oh well. Maybe next season!
