Its Fall

I don't blog much apparently. I also don't take pictures with my camera anymore. most of these pictures are from my phone. Anyway here is all the fall things I've been doing.

Jared's mom and sister Anna came into town for Granny's birthday. We got to go to a pumpkin patch with them and Jared's brother Ryan's family.

While Anna was in town we went to a couple home decor stores and Jared really liked and let me buy these from Rodworks. I love them.

I made owl gingerbread cookies and ate them all myself... ok not really but almost!

I made tortellini soup. I love soup season and its getting cooler in Utah so soups on!

and finally I glittered some pumpkins to go next to some other Halloween things that I will blog later when its all put together.


Now on a different note I just wanted to share these


Jared brought them home for me they are beautiful. They are also Gerber daisies which aren't very strong and don't last very long. I should probably cut them down but i loved how long their stems are.

AND last but not least a story. A very scary, icky story that is for Kendle. If you do not like spiders do not scroll down to see the picture. I won't.
Once upon a time I wanted some ice cream. Jared and I have a chest freezer that Jared got for his birthday this year. It's in our garage. My biggest fear is when I go out to get something at night and its pitch black in our garage and i blindly reach out to turn on the light my hand will find a spider and not the light switch. So I go out to get ice cream, flip on the light, go to open my freezer, look up and SCREAM! There is a GIANT spider right in front of my face RIGHT next to the door. I run inside without closing the door and tell Jared and Micheal they have to get this spider as i'm trying to keep it together. I go into the other room and break down and start crying of all things (i blame pregnancy) and wait for that spider to meet its fate. I can hear the boys in the other room talking about how big it is and Jen refusing to go look. THEN they start talking about what they are going to catch it in. Michael catches it and sets on our porch (because Jen refused to have it in our house. Thank goodness) a container with a giant spider in it. The days go buy and Michael feeds it, watches it, is fascinated by it and even names it. While I have to be haunted by it everyday! At last I see he put the container in the garage, on the work bench in front of where I park, thinking he had disposed of his nasty pet. I pull in one day from work and see that IT's still in there. He brought it in so it wouldn't be cold.... really. really Michael. It is still there to this day. If only you could see my face as I tell this story. Anyway here's the nasty thing. If it doesn't look huge... well it is. The picture might not do it justice. I wouldn't know. It took all my courage to take a picture of the thing.

It Was Fate

I saw this shirt in Tucson one night when we were looking for clothes for Jen's birthday. Kristen and I ran into Charlotte Russe to look at sandals. I didn't even have my wallet! i talked myself out of it and left. On the way home i just kept thinking about and told myself i'll go back and get it. No worries there was like 10 of them and they were all mediums. Then a few days later  i went back to get it and they were ALL GONE! none. nothing that even looked like them. i was so sad. So for a few weeks now whenever i was at the mall i always went to look to see if they had some. They did have others that looked similar but they were more expensive. Yesterday i went to look and was just looking around and there it was squeezed into other things right next to an extra large there was a small. I tried it on hoping it would look good and it did! Its one of those flowy kinds of things that you could go a size down on. I HAD to get it! and i love it.

Also! Remember our sprouts?? they've bloomed!

Blooming

Here it is! My flowers are blooming and growing. They are supposed to attract hummingbirds...

Uh oh...









I'm sorry Kendle. i think this plant wasn't supposed to be outside. It definitely wasn't as hardy as it was inside when it was outside....












so i got this plant today and replaced the one that i killed. This one takes full sun and its really cool when it blooms. When it does i will post again.

Don't worry mom i haven't let this die and look how big its gotten!! the yellow guys are supposed to be growing up but they are leaning to the side and up. I turned the basket around so they would maybe lean the other way toward the sun but it didn't help.

Yay for flowers!

I Love Him

These were on my desk when i got home from work the other day.
Whenever i would talk about having a boyfriend.. in this case fiance.. i always wanted him to bring me flowers all the time. I'm pretty much the luckiest girl alive.

Welcome to my garden


so once upon a time Jen had a baby a shower. i bought lots of daffodils to decorate with. once i took them home i didn't know what to with them. so i bought this really cute window box for flowers and planted them and they died. they have been in front of our apartment for along time just getting deader. i got home from Tucson and they were still there... looking way yellow and way dead. that was it! i decided i needed to get some good sturdy flowers that hopefully i couldn't even kill. so i got these! i planted them yesterday and i love them! hopefully it'll last for at least awhile.
