A Nature Hike

We went on a little mountain hike today to 

hunt for leaves for a school project for AJ.

Brody enjoyed his ride.

Latte enjoyed the outing.

The leaves were beginning to change,

so it was gorgeous up there.

Ab didn't last long...

before she joined Brody.

We live in an absolutely beautiful state.

I love when the Aspens turn yellow.

AJ swears this IS his authentic smile...

Adding me to the picture made it so much better.

Insta Friday

Happy Friday! 

 

 

This week...

There was some hair taming 

and getting distracted looking at ourselves in the mirror during ballet class.

There was some Mommy and Abby Starbucks drinking, shopping, and nail painting.

There was some farmers market perusing.

Bulldog Rootbeer: Unleash the Taste...ha!

Abby and Brody picked out mini pumpkins to bring home...

AJ picked out that other thing.

There was some Costco pizza eating.

Some fabulous fall afternoon snacking.

Some art time.

There was some Sour Cream Ritz Chicken baking.

There was some self hair cutting.

Naughty child.

There was some coffee with pumpkin spice creamer in an adorable cup drinking.

How can that not jump start your day?!

There was some excitement over my favorite fall scent in the form of body spray!

Look at those young college love birds back there.

And there was some snuggling up with fall issues of my fave magazines.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Our calendar is full!

Footprint Ghosts

Inspired by Miner Moments we made  a little Halloween project last weekend.

I just love Brody's lil niblet footprint.

Yummy Cheesy Chicken and Rice Bake

I'm always on the look out for easy, delicious dinner ideas.

So when I find one, I like to share the wealth.

Click on over to Tasty Kitchen for this fabulous recipe!

I forgot to buy corn 

and used more mild salsa instead of the chiles due to my 6 and under crowd.

Insta Friday

Hello!
Happy Friday!
 

  

It was pretty calm week.

Broke out a new Scentsy.

And my house smells amazing.

Enjoyed some coffee with lots of creamer.

Did my bible study homework.

All in one night.

We went to soccer practice.

Watered some roses.

Quilted a friend's quilt.

I'm smitten.

Bugs in jars.  How cute is that?!

We did lots of laundry.

And we're exhausted.

Get Ye' Some Free Doughnuts

September 19th

 International Talk Like A Pirate Day

 Also one of me favorite holidays.

 

Aye Aye!

So naturally me scallywags had to dress for the occasion.

Then we picked the eldest scurvy dog up from Kindergarten, 

found our lost pirate attire, and

ventured on over to Krispy Kreme for FREE doughnuts.

If you talk like a pirate, you one free doughnut.

If you dress like a pirate you get a free DOZEN doughnuts. 

You know me.  Go big or go home.

So we ended up with 3 DOZEN free doughnuts.

 

Fair Winds Mateys!

A Mustache Bash

Wow.  

I can't believe our little man turned one today.

We partied at the park with yummy cakes...

some staches...

fabulous friends...

and family.
