Fun times of fall

I have LOVED getting to be in Iowa for fall. The trees in Anna and Andrew's neighborhood are BEAUTIFUL. Kevin and I took a little walk yesterday to take some pictures of the reds, greens, and yellow leaves covering the trees around our block.

 

 I JUST CAN'T HANDLE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL COLORS!!

The weather was colder last week and it teased me and my excitement for fall clothes. I'm so excited for scarf and sweater weather! Its warmed up a bit more this week (UGH humidity is so lovely :P) but its been fun to still be able to go on walks and to the park with the kids before it gets too cold outside.

Kevin has been taking Jackson for walks. Jackson rides his little bike and Kevin will usually push the jogging stroller behind him to give him some support when needed. :) Its the cutest thing to watch little Jackson walking/riding his way down the sidewalk.


Today we went on a little walk to west park with Jackson and Kiera. I always love watching Kevin play with the kids. He ran around with Jackson and they went down slides, played on the swings and merry-go-round. Jackson and Kevin has such a sweet little relationship, it just melts my heart to watch. :)


Jackson was definitely more impressed with the swings more than Kiera was. :)




Its hard having to mooch off family so much right now but I'm so grateful for Anna and Andrew and all that they are doing for us right now in letting us live with them. As hard as it is to rely on them so much I love getting this time with them and the kids. We are making so many precious memories that I know we will love to look back on later on down the road. Hopefully Anna, Andrew and the kids look back fondly on these times as well. Haha.

We had a fun time at the park and I met a sweet neighbor lady on the walk home. Kevin raked up leaves once we got home. Its so crazy how many leaves fall from the trees! Anna said that once the leaves turn red they all fall pretty quick so I'm trying to soak up the beautiful leaves outside the windows while I can. :)

BEFORE HE RAKES THE LEAVES :) 



The piles were HUGE! It took everything in me not to go and jump in all of them. :) I knew Kevin wouldn't be very happy so I decided not to.

It was a lovely fall day spent with fabulous people. I'm so blessed.

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
