The New Guys

Fall Favorites

Here are some random pictures from fall

I got my goldilocks chopped! My friend Annie cuts hair and she had a special deal going, so I decided to get it cut. I love having short hair! Tyler has a different opinion on the matter....

We had a fun date night with some other couples making a bonfire. Tyler and I went and got some carmel apple cider and salted carmel hot chocolate before and saw that beautiful sunset!

More fun with the couple friends

Keeping warm by drinking "Choffy" - not coffee. Ground cocoa beans. Super yummy!

My poor hubby had to get some cavities filled and couldn't quite move his mouth to give me a kiss :)

Autumn Squash Soup and Fontega Chicken panini from Panera is the best fall meal!!!

A picture my sister in law sent of my sweet nephew, Will!

I got my ring cleaned and it was so shiny!

My school had a Yankee Candle fund raiser, and apparently my husband LOVES candles! So I lucked out! I got him a couple candles and got a flier as prize! hahaha. He's been burning those candles everyday since we got them...

Raking leaves for a service project

My handy husband fixed the brakes on our car- and just in the nick of time!

I've been trying to brush up my cooking skills lately. Since we've been living with Tyler's parents, we take turns cooking dinner each week. Here are some of the dishes I've made...

Stack-a-dinner

Taco Soup

Cracked Wheat Bread

Cranberry Citrus Chicken

Corn Chowder Soup

I'm always searching for new, yummy recipes!

Halloween 2013

To be honest, Halloween isn't my favorite. I love dressing up, but that's about all I like about it. I HATE being scared, I don't like eating a lot of candy, I don't like any Halloween movies, I just don't really enjoy it. My Mom doesn't like it either, so I may have gotten it from her :) We lived on a street that didn't get many trick-o-treaters, and I only got to go trick-o-treating if I was invited to a friend's Halloween party, so I didn't have a TON of pleasant memories from that time of year. In fact, one year my Mom had us all stay home and paint the living room instead of trick-o-treating. We painted it yellow, and my Mom always said it was the scariest Halloween she ever had! :) Anyway, I dressed up for school this year, and I was one of the only teachers who did. Oy. Hahaha, but the kids loved it so that's what counts right?

Can you tell what I am???

An apple tree of course! Tyler was going to dress up as a lumber jack, but he never got around to dressing up, so we just used our imagination.

This apple tree likes to eat cereal and 50 cent corn dogs from Sonic :)

My family did a pretty good dressing up too. Kristen dressed up as Princess Leah, Dad dressed up as clown, and Michael dressed up as a hipster Sheriff Woody.

Won't you be my neighbor?

My sister Elizabeth, her husband Andrew, and their son Clark moved to Columbus, OH in September, and boy oh boy, we couldn't be happier!! It's only about an hours drive for us, so we have been regular visitors!! Everyone should live that close to a family member in my opinion! PLUS- my parents visit more often since the they can visit two kids in one visit, which I LOVE!!!
