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.

loved squeezing the leaves between her fingers

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.

great grammy

great grandpa

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!
