Autumn is here

I know, I know it is 101 today, but I am going to choose to look at the bright side of things. This is the first official day of Fall and that means...my favorite time of the year is here. Here a few of the reasons I love the Fall

1. it is cooling down at night time, and I have been enjoying walks with my
fabulous neighbor Nicole
2. Halloween is just around the corner, and I can't wait to get Malia's costume
in the mail and try it on my little lady...hint, hint ;)
3. Stephen, Malia and I all have birthdays to celebrate in the upcoming season
4. wow, I can't believe my baby is going to be 1!
5. Tanner is graduating in 2 short months, go little brother
6. it will be cool enought to turn my oven on for one of my favorite hobbies,
baking!
7. homemade chili with a dollop of sour cream on top
8. time with family at Thanksgiving...and I am not going to lie the food is tops
9. Stephen and I can take Malia to the park
10. My Mom is healthy
11. caramel dapples (it is spelled that way on purpose, I love ya Kalli & Becky)
12. the smell of tea lights burning in a pumpkin, I know strange
13. time to drag out the sweater boxes that have been itching to come out from
underneath the bed
