Fall-My Favorite Season

The colors of the leaves changing, the smell of the crisp cool air, the sound of the cheering crowd from a football game, these are some of the triggers that get me excited for fall. I love fall. If I could live in a place that had fall year round, it would be my little slice of heaven. While my wonderful mom was staying with us, she decorated our house for fall! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with how adorable it turned out. I may keep the decorations up as long as possible!!


My husband and mom redesigned our entertainment center. My husband’s need for a bigger T.V. left us with deciding what to do with the entertainment center since the T.V. no longer fit. They decided to put it on top and add shelves, paint and redo the inside where the T.V. used to go. I will admit I was skeptical at first but I actually really love it!

I hate the feeling of chalk but if I mess up, wipe with water and start again!

  

  

How adorable is this sign my mom made us? On the other side it is ready for winter. She could definitely sell them! She is so talented and creative! I love when she comes.

//She used a blank piece of wood to start. Using my cricut, she cut out the WELCOME letters-just with paper! Before placing them down she painted fall objects on the wood. She then used Modge Podge to place the letters down. This makes it so the weather doesn’t ruin the painting and lettering on the wood.//

How do you decorate for fall?!

A Perfect Fall Weekend

What a gorgeous weekend we had! Fall everywhere. My family came to stay with us this weekend and we were busy as usual. We spent time visiting my grandparents, enjoyed a chili tasting event, went on a hike in the beautiful Sunday’s sun, played cards under the pergola, played in the colorful leaves, carved pumpkins and baked pumpkin seeds. It was a perfect fall weekend.

We are so lucky that our great grandparents are so close to us. They just love their little granddaughter. We wish my parents were closer, having them visit is always so helpful.

this was my outfit

   Going for a long walk is something I also say I want to do but with work and just life in general, I get home every day and want to snuggle my beautiful baby that we don’t get out as often as we would like. Especially since we have a growing lab puppy, we need to get better at going on family walks. With my parents visiting and the gorgeous weather, we went for a nice long walk. It made us all feel more energetic after and we got a lot accomplished for a supposed to be lazy Sunday.  Pumpkin carving time! My cousins came over and we carved away. I could actually care less about the carving. I do it for the pumpkin seeds!
Look at this adorable little girl! She didn’t even fuss when we put her in the pumpkin. I was expecting screams considering how chilly the pumpkin was.   

Finished products! I carved the spider. Quick and easy…my type of carving. =) The spider didn’t last long though. Ollie (that hyper puppy I mentioned earlier) – he ate the entire spider out of my pumpkin! At least I got yummy pumpkin seeds out of it.

    
Boy were these good! After a day they were almost completely gone!

3 Months Old- October 8, 2015

Another month flew by! She has become so interactive recently. She really knows who we are now and her face lights up when she sees mommy or daddy.

My baby girl has been sitting up more and doesn’t want to lay flat on my legs anymore. This busy little girl wants to see everyone and what’s going on in front of her. She has been getting more hair on top of her head and it’s getting darker. Might take after mommy instead of her ginger daddy! She loves her early morning and late night times, imitating mommy’s noises! I am always so impressed with her!

Recently, we went through a week where she wasn’t sleeping through the night. She would wake up screaming and I knew something was wrong. After much research and lots of our friend’s professional advice, we figured out it was acid reflux. Inclining her bed and waiting to lay her down after eating has helped her once again sleep through the night! What a happy and rested mommy I am now!

How is it possible to love someone this much?
