Our October ~

 

The 1st grader teaching the Pre-K-er 😂

Tried a yummy banana bread coffee cake recipe! 

Back to the season of Saturdays being savored ❤

My beaut! 

& her biggest love ❤

The towels we started life together with were all starting to look like rags more and more as they came out of the washing machine, so a JCPenny sale came in clutch to give us a 14-year wedding anniversary upgrade! 

(There should be 10-year wedding showers LOL)

How math gets done around here.....😂

Day one ~ 

Day two ~

We thought our oven just needed a new igniter. Jeremy swapped that out and we rejoiced when we saw the glowing flame below......

But the next morning we woke up to the smell of propane and long story short, found out that Lowe's sold us a funky new oven just 3 years ago. It made the most sense to just get a whole new one 😭 The store we went to was amazing but we had a few days with no cooking capabilities, so I went to my parents to prep some food. Meanwhile ~ 

Jeremy covered up the rust on our 'ole girl.....

And we savored another glorious night!

Birthday surprises from friends ❤

It came! 

Chocolate chip cookies but instead of chocolate chips I threw in chunks of brownies and peanut butter chips, they were UH-mazing! 

My niece sent me her wedding pics and I just can't even.....😍

😍😍😍

We soaked up the beautiful weather and went for a trail walk after church with a picnic lunch ~

😅

These kids! 😅

Kylie was SO grumpy about this picture.....

& then spent the rest of the time begging me to take her picture with different poses.....🤦🤣

We saved so many wooly bears!

A dinosaur egg mushroom!

We made smash burger pizza 🤤

I turned the kids cheese pizza leftovers into a breakfast pizza 🤤🤤🤤

The boys had their annual work day with Beba & Bompa!

& my girl came out with a new book 👀❤

The next Sunday we decided to cross another mountain off our list.....

(this was NOT a ledge) LOL

LOVE our new family hobby 🌞❤

Meet "Hairy"! A big rock we spotted on our way in that looked like it had hair from all the moss on top of it! It helped the girls make it back out, telling them that we were almost back to Hairy! 😅

We did it!!!

Lucas made his first biome! 

Mia snapped this one 😅

Beba brought Halloween coloring! 

The day they had been waiting so long for, finally arrived! 

Seth was the last man standing with the above game, 

so he got to do the following.....😅

This may look like a 'fit' picture, but she actually just needed a rest and laid down into her cow to use it as a pillow LOL 

Home for goody bags!

The Pokemon cards at the bottom were discovered.....

We went to the store after the Halloween party and each kid drew a piece of paper with a category for dinner that they got to choose (Entree, side, etc). Seth picked onion rings.....

Kylie chose "cheese pull" LOL

Lucas ~ chicken wings

& Mia chose root beer!

Happy Fall, y'all ~

May you be able to focus on peace and joy as the holiday crazy begins!
