whats been going on..

Hi blog followers! haven't posted since June, there has definitely been lots going on like usual. I have been loving fall, with all the pretty colors I have also been keeping busy with lots of knitting projects. This is my very favorite time to knit, when its too cold and wet to go outside but perfect to just sit down with a mug of apple spice tea, burn your favorite candle and knit something special for you or someone you love. here is a beret I knit for a friend, I was really happy with how it turned out

the link to this pattern is here

I carved my first pumpkin this fall inspired by pinterest, on Sunday we went to a pumpkin patch and got lost in the corn maze :) but it was worth it. (sorry about the awful quality of the pictures..they are from my phone)







The other day I saw Paul out raking leaves and the lighting was so pretty I decided to take a few pictures. I'm sure he was like 'why don't you help me rake all of this instead of taking pictures of me doing it?' he's very sweet. so i guess probably not :)

oh and I forgot to mention how much I love pumpkin spice lattes! that is definitely one of my favorite things about fall 

What are you favorite things about fall?

Camping in February

So just got home today from a very fun filled camping trip with some close friends from church. 

I guess I shouldn't really say we went 'camping' because that gives the mind a picture of being outdoors, huddled around a campfire, hiking, etc..which was not the case (that would be a little chilly!) :). it was a blessing to stay in a warm (or at least it was warm most of the time) cabin with heat and a wood burning stove. we were only there for about 2 days, but I had a blast!

 this was the cabin we stayed in (toad bentley) :)

while we were there we got to celebrate this big boys birthday :) isn't he just the cutest! 

 we ate lots of candy on this trip! 

there was a very nice indoor pool compete with a water slide, we spent lots of time there!

 all the sugar put us in our silly moods :)

 one of the best things about watching movies with your friends is when they braid your hair :)..Thank you Hannah! 

 the pool and great water slide

And this is our friend the owl :)

Ok well I'm signing off for the night! I hope you all are doing well!
