I just LOVE the FALL

These are pictures of some of the gourds and mini pumpkins we grew!

I can't wait to have a house!

As I've said many times the Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love these ideas for decorating your house and showing your festive side! The above photo is what I have done to our apartment so you can only imagine what I can do with a real house and yard. I can't wait till we move and have our house!

The FALL Festival

Today Drew and I met up with my sister and her family to go to a local fall festival. The weather was beautiful and the rain stayed away till right before we left. There were a lot of cute crafts and yummy food! We treated the kids to some sweats and hopefully they wont be up all night. We took them to a trail that we use to walk all the time when we lived down there but, had to stop right before getting on it because there was a creepy homeless man on the trail just staring into space. And the girls didn't have a good feeling about him and didn't want to go. So we turned around after he walked on. My sister later told me that she noticed him following us for a little while and that fact that he go in front of us when he figured out we were heading towards the trail, she knew we could walk any further! She also said when my back and her husband's back were turned he was staring at the girls. What we didn't realize till later is that man is a criminal and he got into trouble last year with attacking a teenage girl so I called the Police and reported what happened and they said they were going to talk to him. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if something happened to anyone in my family, especially the kids! I hope that man never hurts anyone again! And, I hope other people call the police when strange things happen and they listen to their gut feelings!

They gave their Aunt a scare playing on the rocks!

My dream dog! Can you see how happy I am? Look how pretty and good she was... she let the kids put that wreath on her head and just laid there. I can't wait to get one!

Apple Picking Time!

Drew and I picked up my little brother and all my niece and nephews and went apple picking. We took the kids last year and they had a blast so we wanted to do it again before they move. I strapped they baby onto my chest and we started our walk to the apple orchard. The weather was perfect! It wasn't cool but, it was hot, just perfect! Since there were nine of us picking apples I told them all to pick ten apples each, yeah that didn't work. My 7 yr old nephew had has bag full in about five minutes! It was really cute to watch my 2 yr old nephew pick. He wanted to take a bit out of each apple he picked. Their Uncle Dylan and Drew would climb up in the trees to get the really shinny hard to reach ones.

It was towards the end of the apple season but, they tasted really good! In all we picked about 30 lbs of apples!
