Pumpkins and Costumes.

What's better then pumpkins and costumes in the fall? Not much...

Rich family Halloween party.

Carving Pumpkins!

I couldn't be more proud!

Our lovely porch.

What happens in Vegas...

Every October all of the girls in my family get to go on a little thing we like to call a girls trip. This mostly consists of eating, shopping, eating, swimming, more eating and a lot more shopping! It is so nice to take a little break and spend some quality time with my mom and sisters, and what better place to do this then in the place where all your dreams come true... Las Vegas (and St George) of course.

Jack wasn't invited this year...

Our trip started out with a nice traffic jam in Provo... word to the wise, never get on the freeway heading South at 5:00... good thing we had all of my mom's favorite old movies, including Harry and the Henderson's.. which I can't believe I actually watched as a child! We woke up early the next morning and headed to Vegas to do a little shopping. Amidst our shopping mall madness we took a lunch break at Serendipity. Jess and I decided to venture out and get a frozen hot white chocolate instead of our usual chocolate... best decision we have ever made! Between the 3 floors at H&M and the 3 floors at Nordstrom, Vegas was a success!

Dinner at Fashion Show Mall.

The next morning I talked my family into going for a little run... I didn't know what I was getting myself into...

We spent the rest of the day going to our favorite lunch/breakfast place and trying to take advantage of the warm weather as much as possible!

Dinner at my most favorite place, The Pizza Factory.

At the Tuacahn waiting for The Little Mermaid to start.

A little awkward being the only adults in line to see Ariel... you are welcome Jess.

Creepy right? The kid on the right thinks so.

It's Fall!

        For the short period it's fall, I love it! Some reasons I love fall are... the clothes! I love boots and I love being able to just wear a sweater with no jacket. I love the smell of fall, aka my pumpkin spice candle. Of course I love the changing of the leaves and all of the colors. I really love 200 East in Logan in the fall and all of the decorations everyone puts up, including myself. I love decorations and Halloween so fall pretty much fulfills both my needs in those subjects. One thing I truly love is all of the pumpkin flavored food! The minute it felt like fall I stocked up on pumpkin in a can and started to make pumpkin chocolate chip bread... pumpkin cookies.... and I am going to attempt to make these bad boys...

Pumpkin Pancakes.

I am not really sure if Matt enjoys pumpkin as much as I do but he better start liking it because there is a whole lot of pumpkin coming his way... if you know what I mean.
        So far fall has been full of football for us. With in a matter of two weeks we have endured 3 football games. I really love going to football games but the reason why I say endure is because every game has not turned out so good... thanks a lot Utah! Just kidding... but seriously watching turn over after turn over gets a liiitttle old. I think we might try not going to football games for awhile and see what happens. However, aside from the unfortunate outcomes of these games they were really fun!
