Fall has come, and then left, and has come again.

I am absolutely in love with all things fall. It has been the perfect weather up here, just crisp enough to put on some boots and a sweater. And then last Saturday a huge snow storm hit! I was so scared that I had experienced the shortest fall ever, but true to Utah weather, it has warmed up a bit again and fall is back in action. Here are some pictures of a few fall activities. A yummy dinner, hee-haw farms, and "witches night out" at Gardner's Village.

My attempt at a fancy dinner. Orange Roughy surrounded by
fall veggies- turnips, parsnips, carrots, and potatoes.

Sinking in corn kernels.

Clark is apparently six feet tall.

Beckett was not nearly as amused by this as we were.

Poor piggies.


Spooky family picture. (My finger was blocking the flash.)

Every year Gardner's Village has a weekend called "Witches Night Out," where 95% of the people who come are decked out, head to toe, witch. These pictures do not nearly do it justice, hundreds and hundreds of women walking around like this. I loved it. And Beckett wasn't scared in the least bit.

The most magical birthday ever.

October 7 was my 25th birthday, so to celebrate we all went out the night before to CPK. I noticed Rachael talking to this really odd looking man, but I just thought it was another weird guy trying to pick up on her or something (not too far fetched if you've seen some of these guys!) Turned out my big brother Richie and my Dad hired a magician to come and entertain us all! I absolutely loved it and couldn't have asked for a better birthday!
Side note- I of course forgot my camera so I stole these pics from other people's blogs (thanks Ashly and Julie!)


Somehow, the card I picked ended up inside the orange Julie is holding. How does he do it?


Me and Mont. And my certificate as an official member of the Mont the Magician Club.

The Boudoir

We meant to post this a long time ago, but I wanted to wait until our lamps came. I've been wanting bedside table lamps for quite some time and there is no way our bedroom would be complete without them. So then they came... and then a month went by... and now we are finally posting our finished project . Headboard made by us (okay mostly Clark) and bedside table painted and reknobed (is that a word?) by us. I just love it! We both swear we sleep better now that it looks like a real bedroom. And yes, Clark loved the idea to use pink- I did not force him. What do you think?





I was pretty exhausted from all the work. Okay maybe from watching all the work.


Before picture of dresser.



Clark's art.



Finished!
