fall

pumpkin carving with our cousins



pumpkin cookies- recipe courtesy of kelsey tucker:)

how can we forget about duke! haha

halloween costumes level of difficulty = easy. haha, dallas literally came home from playing golf and put on a different golf shirt and his tiger woods golf hat. I put a pirate shirt on and tied a tshirt around my head! Still fun, we went to our ward's trunk or treat with our nephew Landon, who made the cutest little dinosaur ever!

told you, cutest little dinosaur ever!

State fair. No one has ever won anything for me before!  :)


just glad it was a cute teddy bear and not these...

such a beautiful day <3 We went with Dallas' mom and aunt and some of our cousins. Favorite ride- the ski lift one that took you from one end of the fair to the other, haha jk, but really I did love that one! We loved the bbq food, and hated the deep fried snickers bar, yuck, but we had to try it! 





I miss my family, and I love South Dakota. But I have to say I really, really love living in AZ when I see my friends and family post pictures like these... 
I think someone said this picture is actually from somewhere in ND, but it sure does look like a storm from home.  



So we go out to eat all the time, too much probably, but this was special, two years ago from this night was when I was baptized and became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! I love the church, the leaders, the gospel, and everything that goes along with them. It has brought me so much joy in these past two years, including my amazing husband! So, some of our friends, Dallas and I went to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate! I had never been there so we ordered what my step dad said is his favorite/most unhealthy thing on the menu, can't go wrong there right?!
I am so bummed we didn't take pictures but we also, yesterday, had our first Thanksgiving dinner. I say first because because we have four planned this year that we will be attending, no big deal haha! This is the first year that I have been married and in charge of something for a holiday that didn't include just Dallas and our friends, so  I was nervous and made five pies! I wasn't the only one in charge of pies, there ended up being over twenty there! Yeah there were just as many pies as there were people, needles to say, we didn't run out :) It was so much fun. I miss my family in SD everyday but I absolutely love Dallas family and I am so thankful to have married into this family!
We have a ton of really exciting things coming up in the next few weeks so hopefully I'll find time to blog more frequently!
