Harvest and a Wedding

The fun has continued in our household i.e. be prepared for picture overload! Matt and I both got home early one night (which never seems to happen) so we headed to South Mountain for a gorgeous hike.


I received this lovely snapchat from my sister a couple weeks ago!


Matt and I often share meals because let's be honest, a meal at a restaurant is way too much food for a normal person. And if Matt could never spend money he would be happy. So one way I get him to eat out more often is by splitting a big meal. Works well for us, but go figure, I get made fun of! Even Jadyn's friends know we do this!!

Two weekends ago we made a quick getaway back to Nebraska for a jam packed weekend. There was literally NO ONE in the security line! Which was a good thing because we did not leave much time to spare.


We were proud to wear our new shirts from Left on Dodge! Our best friends started a t-shirt company and have some really cool stuff! If you haven't checked them out yet go to their website HERE



Saturday my mom, Atlee, and I headed to Smithfield for their Fall Festival.


I found a really cute ceramic pumpkin to add to my collection! I think I have tripled my pumpkin collection this season...(no shame!)


My dad's birthday was a couple days before so we extended the celebration!


Saturday we headed for Jennifer's wedding. She is my oldest friend, and I was really glad I was able to make it back for her beautiful wedding.


I also ran into a few more old friends!


We were all cheerleaders so naturally we posed in our favorite cheer.


Here is the original and recreation side by side. I think we did pretty good!


There are always lots of shenanigans when these two are involved!


Another married classmate from 2008!


We were also speech kids, and it looks like we've still got it!



We found Caleb at the same venue for another reception. I guess he may "technically" be my oldest friend as our parents met taking Lamaze class together. It was a great night of catching up with old friends!


Sunday Atlee, my mom, and I headed to the pumpkin patch!



We made it through the corn maze successfully! :)


The giant slide was lots of fun!



The hike back up wasn't nearly as much fun...but the scenery was beautiful!


There was a little area for taking pictures so obviously we had to participate in cute, fall pics!
  




We had a race on the jump zone. Atlee definitely started before we said "go".


We <3 jumping!


 We shot some hoops. The wind did not help us make any extra shots!


And we picked out pumpkins!




I think we found a good variety!
While I was busy doing all the fun, fall things, Matt found his own fall fun-HARVEST! He had a blast and got lots of pictures to prove it!







Some of my favorite people!
Along with all of our fun, my mom strongly suggested I clean out my bedroom. I went through all kinds of stuff. I threw away a trash can full of things, and had about seven trash bags worth of donations! As I was going through everything, I found a few awards I felt like sharing!


Invention Convention!!! That brings back so many memories! One year I did place, but I couldn't seem to find that one...


I was ready to be a speech kid way before I got to high school! My dad took me to this contest which led to him and my mom doing a 50 mile bike ride. With all things considered, I'm thinking he regretted taking me to this contest! ;)


And last but certainly not least, I found this beauty! I'm pretty sure my grandma only made these for us one year, but I'm glad she chose this year. Fourth grade was tough!
Thanks for reading. Have a great week, friends!
