PUMPKIN COOKIES

One of my favorite things about the Fall season is pumpkin cookies.  Here is one easy recipe.

-Spice Cake Mix

-15 oz Jar Pumpkin

-Semi Sweet Choc. Chips

Mix the three ingredients and cook at 350 for about 13-14 mins.

Mmmm.  Fresh out of the oven.  

THE FARM

Across the street from our home we have a great little farm.

It's equipped with horses, cows, goats, donkeys and Ponies.

Connor loves to walk over at night and look at the animals before bed.

It's fun to walk out in the morning and see the farm.

It gives a peaceful feeling to our little neighborhood.

WELCOME FALL

Last fall we got buckets of apples off our tree

It didn't take Connor long to get the hang of picking the apples last night.

He quite enjoyed this fresh snack!

The air was a bit cooler last night

and apples on the tree means fall is on it's way.

Thinking about sweater weather

and homemade soup makes me happy.

I love fall!

13.1

We did it!

13.1 miles for the Park City half marathon

I couldn't have done it without my good friend Mikaela. We've been running together all summer. Who knows what race will be next?

TAHOE

We spent most of our week at Lake Tahoe.

It was our first time there and we love it!

Can you see the "tea cup" house on top of this island?

Here is Justin and my brother Christian parasailing

They went 1200 feet in the air above the lake.

Justin said it was great. Next year I can go with Connor on my lap.

We'll have to make it a family event.

Connor loved playing in the paddle boat on the sand. Although he loved the pool he wasn't too fond of playing in the cold lake.

We did a little paddle boarding.

and jet skiing

We also had a ton of fun riding bikes through the mountains,

shopping, taking a gondola ride and eating out.

I think Tahoe might be our new favorite vacation spot!

IT'S TIME FOR AFRICA

My mom showed me this music video today and I love it! I wish all music videos were this great. Pause the music player and watch it!

Doesn't it make you want to go join a Zumba class? It sure makes me want to get up and dance. Especially with my cute little bambino Connor!

OUR NEW COUSIN!

Welcome to the family baby Savaeya!

We are excited Connor has a cousin to play with!

Here are a few pics from the baby shower.

We're so excited to have a girl in the family

we had to celebrate with pink!

Cute Savaeya is even sweeter than these cupcakes!

I have a lot of great memories with my cousins.

I'm thrilled Connor can start the good times

with his new cousin!
