ketchup....

OK OK OK ... so sorry its been so long but it has been pretty busy around here. So the following is some highlights of the past month or so. We were able to have out bonfire and it was as fun as always. We had a few friends over and Otto got to "get paid to play" as you will see in the following pictures...

Here is Otto and his pile he gets to burn...

what happens when you play with diesel fuel?

and a blow torch ?!?!?!?!?!?!

You get a nice BIG Fire!
We had a blast!

We built a smaller fire to cook out hot dogs on. The kids a a blast riding around in the mule!
(OK confession: Kristin had just as much fun taking them for rides.)

Maddy doing the "fire dance" for us...

Then we have some left over sparklers from our wedding that we got out and let the kids play with. Oh they had so much fun with those. Maddy made sure to do the "fire dance " for us to make sure we had a fun time! Well it wroked! I had such a fun time this year that I can not wait for the next one!

Did not realize how much music that i had some I am embrassed to admit to but then i realized I have so much more that did not show up on here... I think I had a CD purchasing problem some time in my life... this was fun!

Tag anyone who wants to do it!

Speechless

This is a picture that I never thought I would see... This is a police man on temple grounds of the L.A. temple.

♥ i love fall ♥

Otto & I went on a Sunday drive just to look at the colors. It was such a pretty drive. Theses pictures do not do the colors justice... but makes me love living here and enjoying seeing the changes of fall. Something I missed when I lived out west!

It really was such a perfect day, I love the time that Otto and I get to have together it been pretty crazy at time since he has been in school and we know it is just

going to get crazier for the next couple of years so we are just

taking the moments when we have them!

So we have had a really fun fall so far... Halloween was fun we went over to our friends house and had fun watching all the kids get so excited about halloween. I have had a chance to get some decorating done around the house, without Otto having a heart attack. (Just wait till Christmas on that one wink. wink.)

This weekend we are having a Bonfire that I am super excited for. We always have a fun time with that, so we are going to have some friends over and just hangout and enjoy the weather. So yes I really enjoy fall & the fact I can wear my sweatshirt again.
