Dinner for one

 

Its not the best picture, but If you like all these ingredients on their own you will love this. I hope.
Chili - topped with:
sour cream
sliced avocado
fresh tomatoes
and crumbled cheese
The combination of hot chili and cold toppings is surprisingly good.

Madeline, Brad and Santa

Madeline almost sat with Santa, but once she got up close to him she wanted NOTHING to do with that guy. So we have a picture of Madeline on Brads lap with Santa off to the side. :)
 
Merry Christmas

Hurray for Gymboree

Thanksgiving Weekend

Love

Most people fall in love with, well other people and or pets,jobs, clothes, sports teams and a million other things. And other then loving my family and friends. I love houses. I am easily swept off my feet by an amazing house. Not just any house, on any street in any neighborhood. I love houses that look like they have a story, kitchens that make you happy and of course backyards that teach (you) and your kids how to find and use their imagination. A backyard where you have the space to become anything your heart desires, a space all your own. A yard you can "grow up" in is a wonderful thing.
Unfortunately I have to love all these things from a distance. So for now, here are a few places that have my heart.








If only I could make all these pictures one house... A girl can dream.
PS If your interested in buying the first house and moving back east its for sale :)

Happy Halloween

Madeline was a little ladybug, she loved walking around playing with her little tutu.

Would you Rather

 

Would you rather be in a house you love, but in the process leave all your friends and conveniences behind? We have an accepted offer on this house. I love it, I hear it calling my name every time I see it. But if we were to move there we would have to leave our friends, a great ward, support system, as well as lots of little things like easy access to stores...
What do you think? Would you rather the house you love-(I love), or a house that is just a house with no power to " call your name". Yet, near the people and things that are important to you. I know it seems like we can just move and make new friends, but TRUST me that is NOT an option in the house we like. The words " In the middle of nowhere" barley scratch the surface...
Id love you hear what you think and of course I will update with our decision.

Honey Pot

We went to The Honey Pot, complete with pumpkin patch, hay rides,petting zoo, yummy apple cinnamon doughnuts, Carmel apples and fresh apple cider. This place is so cute

Madeline had the time of her life. I think if she could have carried every pumpkin home, she would have. They were all her favorite.
