how we feel

Roughly 11 days people (give or take a few). Maybe its because we've been watching The Muppets tv series, but when texting each other today Kermit seemed to adequately express our emotions.


How I am feeling...

How Tanner's feeling...

Yep that sounds about right. Feel all the feels!

pumpkin spice smoothie

I'm one of those people that when fall comes around, everything I make has pumpkin in it. Jamba Juice offers a seasonal pumpkin almond milk smoothie that just hits the spot. Tanner had one sip and was asking to get one the very next day. He doesn't even like pumpkin. That's how good it is.

Rather then shelling out $5+ if we want one, I have a cheaper version for you to try.

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

1/2 c pumpkin puree

1 1/2 c almond milk

1 T pure maple syrup

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp allspice

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 c ice

Blend and enjoy. 

all hail to the pumpkin song

Halloweeeen. It was our first time to pick a pumpkin from a pumpkin patch.We got there right as the sun was setting on a warm fall night. Got two pictures and then the camera died. Boo. We didn't even get a picture together. It was fine, we got to enjoy the evening going from pumpkin to pumpkin till we each found one. Fun fact: apparently pumpkin stems are poky, never knew that till now. As Tanner stated, "we are always going to a pumpkin patch, none of this getting our pumpkins at the store nonsense."

This year we both randomly went with a pirate theme for our carvings. I underestimated how difficult free handing would be on such a small pumpkin. At least Tanner's turned out pretty well.

We are serious about pumpkin carving.

Carving pumpkins with my little pumpkin. 35 weeks at that point.

Have always loved being able to dress up. I think I've convinced Tanner to love it just as much (if not more). Since I'm pregnant we decided to forgo our original costume idea to incorporate the bump. Who knows, this may be my only Halloween pregnancy? During our brainstorm sesh, we narrowed it down to the...drum-roll please... Pixar lamp (aka Luxo) and ball.

So glad our ward Halloween party and chili cook-off got moved so we were able to go. Swept the chili AND costume contest. I did not protest. Hooray $25 gift-card to the movies!

 The "trophy"

Glad we got invited to a party for Halloween night. One more chance to wear our costumes. Thanks to the Robins for throwing a fantastic party with lots of treats, games, and friends.

Think we pulled it off?
