I looked out the window and what did I see....

SNOW!!! White, Cold, and Beautiful SNOW!
I looked out the window this morning and couldnt believe that there was really snow on the ground. It has been colder but I wasnt ready for snow quite yet. It did end up melting within a few hours but I guess Winter is coming sooner than I expected.

Fall Favorites

I have decided that fall is my favorite time of year. I love the crisp chill in the air, the beautiful fall colors, leaves, and decorations.

For a singles ward activity we went to a corn maze last week and we had a blast. I have only been to one other corn maze, actually a haunted corn maze in high school and I think the regular corn mazes are my favorite. If you have never been in one you should go. We did make our way to the finish, but we found ourselves going round in circles and we did get lost a couple times. This is an actual a birds eye view of the corn maze we visited. It sure doesn't look like that from the ground.

What is Fall without pumpkins?

While at the grocery store the other day I was drawn to the pumpkins and specifically to a container of pumpkins I had never seen before. They were so cool. I had to buy one just for fun. It is so unique and awesome looking I cant ever bring myself to carving it so it will be a great decoration just as is. I so so intrigued that I came home and looked it up on the internet. The internet has the answers everything. I found out this crazy pumpkin is called a Knucklehead Pumpkin, but I think it looks like the pumpkin has witches warts.

What a weird name. I decided I want to plant these crazy pumpkins in our garden next year.

Birthday Bash

In our family, we have three birthdays in the fall and all within a couple weeks of each other. We sure cant say we don't get to party. Ryan and Jessica's birthdays are a week apart and we thought it would be fun to combine and have a double birthday party for them. We don't get to see them very often and so it was a lot of fun to have them over to celebrate and share in their special day!
Our family is currently divided when it comes to College football teams. My dad, an alumni of BYU is a huge BYU fan along with Spencer and Kenny. However, Ryan, myself and Jess prefer the great and glorious UTES!!! Instead of making two birthday cakes I thought it would be fun to do a U of U theme birthday cake for the two of them.
Happy Birthday Ry & Jessica!!!

A Birthday Adventure

Kenny turned 20 years old this week. We got the family together celebrate his birthday. Each year on our birthdays my Mom makes us our favorite dinner, Kenny chose to have Navajo Burritos. Always a favorite and especially delicious. He got some fun gifts and was glad to have Ryan and Jess and Grandma and Grandpa here to celebrate.
He has always loved Indiana Jones so I put my creativity to work and made him an Indiana Jones birthday cake. It turned out cute and he really loved it.
