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?

Thanksgiving

 Well I'm about to walk out the door (with my camera, so check back for

Fall Camping

Hello my dear blogging friends, 

I'm here with the fall post I said I would bring ya'll on Monday..so first I'll post 

pictures from our annual fall church campout, we went to the Indiana dunes state park.

 I had such a fun time! I am so blessed with such incredible friends and it  was a joy 

to spend the weekend with lots of them!

Anna and I with our pumpkin spice lattes for the

drive down :)

I saw this caterpillar on one of our hikes and I love how

my camera was able to get its bright yellow color

the set up

gorgeous sunset 

I rode to the beach with these silly girls in the van so we decided

to take silly pictures :)

Valerie and I 

this walking stick liked my arm :)

The younger boys let us bury them all in sand :) 

it was so sweet to watch these little girlys play together!

more bugs! :) I'm not exactly sure what kind these are (praying mantis maybe?)

 but they were all stacked on top of each other and watching them all try 

to crawl around was quite humorous!

 Ok here are just a few random pictures I took recently that I wanted to post

'these are a few of my favorite things!'

I took this when we went pear picking...I was going to

do a post on it but decided not to :)

I love my adorable little sisters

Ok well that is all I have for now. I hope you all are doing well!

May you all have a blessed day!
