Fall...

- Wednesday, October 12, 2011


I think Fall is my favorite season of the four. I love watching the leaves turn color. I love decorating my home with fall items to make it more cozy. I love the cool nights that allow me to cuddle up on the sofa and watch my favorite sitcom. Most importantly, I love fall baking because it leads me right in to Christmas baking! There are more reasons why I love this season, but I think I will just stop right where I am at.

Last night, my husband and I were able to do something together for the first time as a married couple. Carve pumpkins. I haven't carved a pumpkin in ages. I did kind of cheat this year because I purchased a carving set and outlines at Hobby Lobby over the weekend. Dustin made a scary pumpkin. I honestly don't know what you call the guy and I carved an alien. Let's just say, Dustin won the pumpkin carving contest.


Ta Da, Dustin's masterpiece!

My alien creation!

Since we didn't have actual candles, Dustin improvised and used our dining room light to get the full effect. All together now, Ohhh, Ahhh!

Once we got our pumpkins all done, I baked our pumpkins seeds thanks to Food Network for an easy recipe in this month's magazine.


I would like to mention about this past weekend too. I was able to have a girls day and we sure went all out! My coworker Codi, her dear friend Mary and I went to a concert. It just wasn't a concert, the main performer-well I like everything about her-she's amazing...Miranda Lambert! So here is what you missed:

The Randy Rogers Band opened for Miranda Lambert. A very good group I must say.

Justin Moore was there too!

Oh wait, look who I ran into. My other coworker and dear friend Mary!

Oh yes, she's the real deal! My dream is to play a pink guitar like her!

And she even brought the Pistol Annies-a new group and they are amazing!

And we all I had a great time! Thanks for the ladies day, gals!

So there you have it! This weekend, I will be sure to have some more exciting things to tell you about as Dustin and I are heading to SuFu (short for Sioux Falls) to see my family-since its been long overdue! We are going to be taking in a Augustana Football (my sister-in-law's brother starts for them) and it will be exciting to see everyone again.

Satisfaction...

Does anyone know the definition of side track? If you do please let me know. For many weeks now, the word blogging has haunted me in my sleep and continued to be on my mind.

While after taking Jet and Bella for a walk tonight, they convinced me that tonight was the night to sit down a write something. I'm even nervous to look through the camera of the pictures that I have taken to be blogged about.

So I think if I shared them with you at the same time while I look through them, I won't be as shocked!

Oh man, I was going blog something about this. This happened at the beginning of August. I submitted these ice cream cake cones in the 4-H Sweet Treats auction. These were my favorite when growing up. My mom would make these for my birthday most of the time.

Yes, my favorite salad of all times now! I found this recipe because I need to use up some sweet corn and canned black beans. Let's just say, hook me up to an IV-I could live off of this.

Then, I made this yummy dessert. A Pumpkin Spice bundt cake! I believe I devoured this within a week! Plus, a dollop of whipped cream on top makes it so much better.

In the past couple weeks, I have made this dish a few times on the weekend. I think they are Dustin's favorite-breakfast burritos. I believe when I was making this, Dustin came home upset because Jet had an accident in the pickup while going a joy ride. These are definitely a way to a man's heart!

How did this get on here? Long story short, they love each other!

The only conclusion that I could gather by these pictures is that I like food. I don't think there is nothing wrong with that. I embrace my love handles each and every day. On a healthy note, I would just like to say I finally accomplished something healthy for my body.

Today was my last day of the Arbonne 7-day cleanse. If you haven't heard of this at all, it helps cleanse and detoxify the system and support the GI tract. Trust me, it's not harmful and works!
Well since I think I finally caught you up and myself, I think I'm going to eat a Apple Caramel Cheesecake bars. I made them this past weekend I think there are only 6 bars left. I'm sorry that they are delicious! I'll blog the recipe later. Later gator!
