Pumpkins and the lake!

Once again, I find myself slipping behind on my blogs that I try so hard to keep up-to-date! Well just really fast I wanted to share some pictures of Maddie at the pumpkin patch in Idaho! Grandpa Dave took us to pick out some pumpkins and man did we get our share! We overloaded this year and that then resulted in not carving them because we ran out of time! But we did end up carving some pumpkins when we returned home in WA and Maddie had so much fun playing with it all.




We also made a trip out to Minnesota to visit great g-ma and g-pa McWilliams! I have made so many memories at their cabin by the lake so I really enjoyed letting Maddie explore outside and see what there is to see. I got to visit with my favorite Aunt Sandy and Uncle Paul and see my grandma's sisters as well. I can't wait to see everyone again at the wedding in June!

21 Candles

YaY! I am finally 21! I am not sure why I was so excited about this birthday because I am not a drinker but there is just something about turning 21 that makes you feel older! I was able to come home to Idaho for my birthday so I was really grateful that Em and I got to share our birthday together with some great friends! My dad treated us to to dinner at one of my favorite spots Barbacoa! Thanks to everyone that was able to make it! It was so much fun! My mother-in-law was kind enough to watch Madison so that we could have a great time eating and talking without the worry of my little girl grabbing everything in sight.

Now that my birthday has come and gone, I am so excited for the fall season and all of the holidays that are coming up! I love where my birthday falls in the year. I hope to get some canning done this month along with lots of fall crafts and decorations! I am also looking forward to taking Maddie to pumpkin patch this year for the first time and for our trip to Minnesota. Those postings will be up soon! :)
