Happy October!

I have been feeling bad about neglecting my blog lately. I just haven't been updating it the way I always want to. If I did you guys would be seeing a couple of posts a week, but instead it is sitting here gathering dust. I apologize. I have much greater intentions. One day I hope to achieve them.

So today, in honor of me trying to achieve my intentions, and in honor of the greatest month of the year, I am writing this post! HAPPY OCTOBER! This is by far the best month of the year! Why, you ask? Well, let me tell you.

1 - The seasons are changing and the Earth is beautiful
2 - It's starting to get a little cooler outside and that means I get to pull out my sweaters, love them!
3 - My hot cho maker is going almost everyday
4 - I gave birth to my first child (she will be 3 this year)
5 - Holiday decorations are coming out by the truck loads and I can't seem to get enough
6 - We get to dress up for Halloween, everyone needs a reason to act silly every once in awhile
7 - It's my BIRTHDAY month! (probably the best reason of all)

So in honor of this very special month I want to challenge all of you to get out and experience it! I know it is getting cold and the indoors seems like a much warmer place to be, but outside the leaves are changing, our breath is starting to make an appearance, and our coats are begging to be brought out of the closet. Go to Gardener's Village and see the witches, take a walk around the neighborhood and see what spooky things are out, or take a drive up the canyon and see all the beautiful leaves in full color. That is what my family did for FHE last week and it was great. I did underestimate the temperature and didn't dress accordingly. But we did walk away with a great picture of me and my kids, which you don't see very often, and a great excitement for the new season!

I hope you all enjoy this great month as much as I do!

"Happy October" to you too! I also love the fall. Norm was born in October, my last child was born in October (Sally) and my first grandchild was born in October (John). Three great reasons to celebrate. Happy Birthday to you and Reagan too! I can't believe how similar Steve D. and Sally's lives are (best friends and cousins!) Sally married a Steve, Steve D. married a Sarah (which many Sarah's go by the nickname of Sally), you & Sally were both born in October, your firstborns were girls, and now you'll both have two little boys. I think that is pretty awesome! Have a wonderful month. Your picture is beautiful! Love you Guys!!!

I love, love, love the fall because it brings on all the hollidays, yay. It was actually snowing an hour ago, I don't want that to start, not yet. That is such a great shot with your kids!
