Janelle's Half Marathon

Early Halloween morning Chris and I drove up Provo Canyon to cheer on my younger sister Janelle in a half marathon! It was so fun because lots of the runners dressed up. I can't imagine running 13 miles, especially in a costume!



Here are some of the funny costumes we saw!





This women ran in a full on wedding dress! I can't believe it!



Finally after waiting and watching for over an hour we found Janelle!



Janelle finished the race with a time of 2 hrs and 20 min. Way to go Janelle!!

Pumpkin Carving!

This weekend our friends Brian and Whitney Wilde came over and we carved pumpkins! It was so much fun, I love carving pumpkins, even though I never know what to carve. Should I go with spooky and scary, or cute and creative? This year I opted for cute :)
We had a blast carving out the guts, luckily mine didn't have that many. I also learned a new trick, that if you put the pumpkin guts in water all the seeds will float to the top so it's easier to separate when you pull the seeds out to toast them! Thank you Martha Stewart for this great tip!!

Hee Haw Farms

This weekend Chris and I hung out with Jaclyn and Tyson and went to Hee Haw Farms. For some fall activities.


Jaclyn and I getting ready to bundle up and go out!



In the corn maze! Kind of spooky! Especially when we got lost and the security guard was jumping out and trying to scare us...weirdo.





There was so much dust in the air, you can see it in this picture.



All of us having fun and being silly :)





You can barley see us, but that's Chris on the left and me on the right.


Tyson and Jaclyn


We went through this giant blow up maze, it was interesting...


John Deere girls



Chris and I just got a new camera and we were playing with the settings, look at what cool pics we can take!





Me, sliding down a giant slide on a burlap sack.


These are some of the barnyard animals we saw.


This pig was SO big! He weighed over 1200 lbs and kept eating pumpkins that kids were throwing to him.




This is a pumpkin that a guy was carving, it was so amazing!


Afterward Chris and I picked out pumpkins to take home and carve. We all had so much fun, I love the fall!

Fall is here!

This weekend Chris and I took a walk up the Provo Canyon to admire the beautiful fall colors. It's so gorgeous this time of year, I love it!






The leaves were all bright yellows, reds, and oranges

We had fun, it was a little brisk out though and you can tell winter is coming. I'm really not looking forward to the snow! I wish fall could stay forever and just skip over winter and then go back to summer, that would be perfect. :)

Camping at Bear Lake

This past weekend was Chris and my 9 month anniversary and also one of the last warm weekends before summer is over :( So we decided to go camping. We went up to Bear Lake Friday evening and set up camp. That night we BBQ, built a fire to roast marshmallows, and played card games. The next morning we slept in and had a late breakfast then went
down to the lake. The weather was so nice! We had fun laying out and playing in the water.








Lounging...

Wishing summer would never end....

We also stopped here and got La Beau's famous shakes! Yum!!

We had a great weekend even though it was a short trip. I'm glad we were able to relax and spend some time together. Can't wait for next summer!
