Gardner Village and the witches

We have seriously been so busy doing tons of little fall activities....we made it over to Gardner Village last week... it was really fun going there to see the witches all dressed up for Halloween....

~ November ~

Ahhh Fall... I love this time of year. We have been bundling up in our home and getting cozy! I have decided to do the NaBloPoMo maybe it will get me back into the blogging habit, especially right in time for the holidays... So today's blog topic is about a piece of jewelry that I own...

One of my favorite pieces of Jewelry is my locket from Brighton. My Mother-in-law gave it to me for my birthday a few years ago and I am in LOVE! Of course it has a picture of my baby girl on the inside of it. Every time I wear it I get tons of comments. I tend to wear it if we have a night out and get a babysitter, makes me think of Bay the whole night. Here's a couple of pictures of this beautiful locket...

I am in the midst of finals/ horrible LONG papers that are due so I have been busy busy. In between studying we have found some time to still enjoy the summer here is a bit of what we have been up to...

Bailey loves working out with me! Love her so much!

I think we'll keep our day job

Last weekend we headed over to Ed and Linda's house to help them with sanding their deck and railings. They are re-doing their deck area and I can't wait to see it. From the way they describe their plans with the space, it no doubt it will be beautiful like the rest of their home. Mind you... it was 100 degree weather! I was so filthy and sweaty by the end of the day. It was so nice helping them for a change though! :) They are a huge support for us and we are so thankful to have them in our lives!

Lazy days of summertime

I love Summer! Love Love Love...Here is how we spend a typical lazy day in this beautiful season.

After Daddy goes to work we play, cuddle, dance and have tons of fun girl time



Then we head over to Cottonwood Heights Rec Center. Bailey has been taking swimming lessons this summer so she is so excited to practice her skills. We have a membership here so it is our go to activity on lazy summer days...

Gorgeous view of the mountains my phones camera really doesn't do it justice.

One of our favorite things to do in the evenings is sit in our front yard with some music playing. We have an amazing view of the mountains from our house and I love to see it turn a pinkish hue from the sun set in the evening. It is so beautiful and an amazing way to finish the day as a family. We sit and watch Bailey play, go on family bike rides, play hop scotch and I usually end up weeding and tending to the flower beds. I am posting pics from my phone...not the best quality but I really never upload the pictures from my camera, pure laziness :)



She wanted to wear one of her flower girl dresses :)

Snowbird's Mountain Music Festival

I promised my family when they came for a visit that I would start updating my blog again, so here I go! This past weekend we went up to Snowbird for the Mountain Music Festival. I am so glad we did, what an amazing summer day. I loved the relaxed vibe up there with great music and amazing scenery. Here are some pics of us playing and hiking on the mountain side, Bailey was in heaven.

She loved exploring
