Countdown to my Fall favorites
OK so I know Fall is over... But as always I am playing catch up trying to make sense of my busy life and millions of pictures.
My friend Jessica had this on her blog and challenged others to come up with their own top ten FALL memories.
Now that Fall has passed and I am once again behind on posting...
I thought why not lump this all together... save you all from viewing 10 pages of pictures.
Buying PINK for the first time..... That's right PINK!!!
We found out that we are going to have a GIRL. It still hasn't hit me yet. I can finally buy those cute clothes I always lust over. We are still deciding on names. I would love any cute one's thrown my way.

Celebrating 5 years
The flu combined with morning sickness made for quite the romantic night:) By the time we made it home from dinner I was rushing to the bathroom to spend the rest of our anniversary with my toilet.
Aside from the yucky sickness it made me reminess about our years together...
It started 7 years ago when we met at a concert in SLC. It took 4 weeks for us to share the L.O.V.E word and two wonderful years of dating before we said " I do" The past 5 years have really been so amazing and full of so many Incredible memories with so many blessings.
How could I be so lucky... without sounding co cliche. I really have such an incredible supportive, loving husband. My best friend. How lucky can one pregnant mama be:)

Trev's Birthday
Sushi anyone??? Every year we go to Happy Sumo... Trevor LOVES sushi. Does anyone know of any good sushi options in Utah County? Happy Sumo seems to be the only one.

Fall, Fall, Fall
Just as the first snowfall came Madd & I ran out in our rainboots to snatch up the last of our tomato crop.
Maddix LOVES our neighbors accross the street. They are more like family. This year they filled their truck with leaves to hall to the dump... What a perfect place for a toddler to play!

Midnight Margiritas !!!
Ok, so we got too tired to get to midnight and actually make our virgin margaritas (we are all mama's). But still. I had so much fun.
My sisters, mom, neices and friend Jessica had a fun night staying in. Good food, lots of laughter, girl talk and gifts to exchange. This will be our yearly tradition.

Halloween Fun
What would a good fall memory be without fun Halloween memories to match.
My sisters in tow with our hynky hubbies and crazy kids had a fun Halloween night.
First stop, Central Utah gardens for the pumpkin walk.
Next was a small kid friendly haunted house, We ended the night with a Super fun party for the kids at my parents house... Bobbing for apples, scary story (lights out with glow sticks) and enough candy to last 10 years. My mom is completely out does herself every time.
CornBelly's
McGinty's Annual Pumpkin carve
I look forward to this tradition every year. Good food, great company and time to hang out with the family!

Good recipes, Good reads
Fall always throws me into this domestic want to be super good cook. I have found some super yummy recipes on some of the sites below. Including some super inspirational blogs.
My friend Jessica's blog. She is my "hope" for being a better blogger. She is always on top of posting the latest and gratest... not only that she knows how to put each experience into such amazing words and photos. Keep it up Jess, one day I might just surprise you! (I didn't post your blog let me know if I can)

"These are a few of my favorite things"
Madd and his new love for dressing himself
Maddix has this fire fighting costume that I bought on Clearance after Halloween. He LOVES, LOVES to put it on... COWBOY boots and all... He also loves to look in his drawers every morning, searching high on his tippie toes to find the perfect shoes to wear ALL DAY long.
No. 9
A few Firsts
Maddix got his first official Ski pass.... Ok so he will probably only use it once while in a backpack but his daddy sure was excited to get his little guy his pass.
He also got his first big haircut. He was so happy and "cheesy" through the hole thing.
So this isn't one of my favorite fall memories but it sure is one of our big memories this year. Maddix has had horrible itchy yucky eczema since he was 6 months. We finally took him to get allergy tested and found out he has an allergy to eggs.
Our trial of not eggs and good ointment has helped so much. He is finally sleeping better:)

Giving Thanks
What would this season be without the people we love, friendship, yummy food and our many many blessings.
I think it's so important to remember and recognize our many blessings. I have been blessed to have so many. It is so humbling to have such an amazing family. To be pregnant once again and to recognize the love around me. Words don't do it justice.
Below is our Thanksgiving table and a picture of my darling grandma. We get together every Thanksgiving to make yummy pies.

Haven't checked your blog for awhile so it was fun to see these updates! I added some to mine tonight, it had been over 4 months, so it's not too detailed. Hopefully will do better in 2011.
