Those little moments are perfect.


I love when I can sit back and watch Dreydan find so much joy in something so ordinary.
In a way, it makes that dreaded time stand still for a small moment.
 
He thought it was so cool that every time the wind blew, the leaves would blow off the tree.
He tried for a while to catch the leaves as they were falling to the ground, but he just wasn't quick enough!
He would say "oooh man! i almost had it!" and laugh & laugh.. I just love him.

How was your Sunday afternoon?

A pumpkin patchy.


So where I live, in the entire county, there is not one pumpkin patch.
We just moved there & I'm not familiar with what they do for holidays & things they have etc..
I asked around and got few different responses like, 
pumpkin patch, what's that!?
nope you'll have to go into the city for one of those
oh! there is one in the next town over...
*in that next town over* nope no pumpkin patches here. there is a trunk-or-treat though at the church on the 26th!
oh you want pumpkins? wal-marts got some out front you can buy.

Seriously, where the fk do I live?
I was told by numerous people there was a pumpkin patch in the next town so we drove to that town.
I made Tyler get out and ask about it and there was no such pumpkin patch.
So sad, you guys. I want to pick pumpkins!
And not at Wal-Mart. Thanks for nothing lady with the red jacket & heels who I thought would know her shit.
Either I've been asking the dumbest people I can find or there really isn't one around.

So we drove to the city.
I had lunch with Ty's sister, got a free cupcake with my birthday coupon, had Mongolian BBQ with his family & then his mom gave me my favoritest thing ever. Caramel apples. THEN we went to a little mini pumpkin patch by their house. Dreydan was so excited!
AND THEN we went back to their house & carved them.
It was Dreydan's first time carving a pumpkin & he was not a fan. Ditched us half way through & found something else to do haha.
And then we went to pick my mom up from the airport! But that's a blog post all on it's own. Coming soon! :))

The giant ass swing.



Don't try and fathom how big this swing is, because you're wrong.
It's huge!

My step-dad built it a couple months ago for the grand kids & they love it.
Us adults love it too... kinda. Notice my brother repelling from it?
It's a work out to keep yourself moving & even then, pumping doesn't get you any higher.
It's like trying to walk up a down escalator...

And if you're thinking "wtf are you wearing, emily?"
Just don't worry about it. I do what I want bitches.

And don't forget about my giveaway! If you haven't entered, go now!

Halloween Cookies!

Last weekend Tyler made a trip to Southern Utah with a bunch of his buddies to their old college
stompin' grounds to watch their homecoming football game.

So Drey & I had some Halloween Bonding time.
Decorated our balcony, hung some decorations, & baked cookies!
{october print from scrapbookcustoms1 for $1...seriously? yes.}

Dreydan ate about 11 cookies & a small bowl of frosting this night.
Yup. I'm THAT cool mom.

P.S! I have a cute, cute, cute giveaway tomorrow!
So check back with me then, mmaky!

Finally some newbies.



Do you love that really serious first picture? We can't help that we're badass....
Our last session of family pica's were right before Tyler left for Japan over a year ago.
So we were in dire need of new ones & I was so so so so so excited that our favorite photographer squeezed
us in before she put her shiz on hold to have her 2nd baybay! Hollerr.

She took a ton & I just couldn't post them all even if I wanted to.
So enjoy these faves I picked out & don't worry! ..you'll see more eventually.

Oh & seriously.. How dreamy is my baby boy? Swoooon.

I feel like it's necessary to be extremely selfish on your birthday{14th}... I mean, that's when you were born.
As a wife & mommy, it's really the only day out of the year you can get away with it.
Respect to yo motha.

~~In honor of my birthday month, I have a giveaway coming up~~
~~So stay in touch and check back in with me in a few days.. Holla holla!~~
