What I love about FALL

I was so ready for Fall to come around! After the HOT summer we had it was about time for things to cool off. Here are a few of my favorite things about this time of year...


-Cute jackets for those chilly evenings
-Feeling ok about not having a tan
-Turning the AC off and cracking the window...I love waking up and feeling chilly,
then I can snuggle up to Robbie and pull the blankets up!
-My brothers football games
-Wearing tall boots
-Making my Aunt Becky's pumpkin cookies
-Hot apple cider
-Of course the beautiful colors of the leaves changing
-Piles of leaves raked up in peoples yards
-The U games
-My favorite shows start new seasons
-My mom, Amy, and Robbie's Birthdays

Ok...here are my not so favorite things of fall...

-Robbie becoming a football freak
-Getting a cold
-Back to school (I'm all done with school but I still get the back to school anxiety!)
-Days becoming shorter
-The wind
-Early snow storms!

Good thing the positive list is longer! But my number one favorite is pulling out the Fall/Halloween decorations...and this year my friend Kim and I made some new ones!


We got these Witches at the Wood Connection...they were just plain wood cut out in this shape and now they are so cute! I'm so proud of us Kim!


I also got these blocks at the Wood Connection, again they were just plain wood blocks. Wow, I was on a crafty high!


Ok, I can't take credit for making these, but aren't they so cute!!


My Big win from Bunco last year, the trick or treat sign.


And this was the best decoration I made this year...




Her binki is her new best friend


She loves to play with her toes




Robbie does this "dinosaur like" sound that makes her giggle every time!

Time for some real food!

So I've been a slacker with posting...but I was feeling a little under the weather...someone find a cure for the common cold! Anyway, about a month ago Taryn had her 4 month visit and the doc said she's ready for some yummy rice cereal. This was her first go at the stuff and she wasn't too sure about it, but she loves it now...especially at dinner time. She will actually growl at me if I don't get her a spoonful fast enough!





She really didn't know what was going on






Goober face! I love it!!!

The wedding has finally come and gone!

Lisa and Brett are officially hitched! It's amazing how much time, planning, and money go into something like a wedding and then it's all done and over with in one day. But we had a great time and it's a day Lisa and Brett will cherish for the rest of their lives!


They were married in the Salt Lake Temple
September 12th, 2007


This was actually at the dinner the night before...Taryn was SO cute!



Robbie and I couldn't resist!



Coming out of the Salt Lake Temple, what a beautiful sight!





Taryn had just about had it...she was starvin...



Lauren and Amy



Robbie and Taylor looking handsome



All the grandkids from the Healey side plus Taryn



The bridesmaids...yes there were 11 of us! There are a lot of Healey's!



Elise, Lisa, and Stephanie...a couple of her good friends



Me and baby booga



Some of the decorations. It looked so pretty when the sun was setting...the prisms started to shine and the candles were lit up... it looked beautiful!



Sisters!!!



There goes the guarder...woo woo



Brett and his posy


I forgot to get a picture of the real car, but it was decorated really cute! Amy had tied Diet Coke and Dr. Pepper cans (Lisa and Brett's favorites) to the back...plus she had cut out cute letters that said Just Married and stuck them on with whip cream! Much classier than our messy car we left in on our wedding day! We had to clean up peanut butter, dish soap, oreos, and who knows what else...YUCK!

Which Way?... Mid Way!!

This Labor day weekend we spent time up in Midway like we have done for so many years. We are lucky enough to stay at the Homestead thanks to my Grandparents...we always have such a fun time walking around Swiss days, enjoying the peaceful scenery, and spending time with family. Thank you so much Grandpa and Grandma McClellan! We love you!
