Bring on "FALL"

Okay, I don't know if I could live anywhere but Utah. Well, I could, but I don't know if I would want to. I absolutely love seasons, I love all of them! But, I think Fall has to be my favorite. School started this week, and once school's back in session it seems to immediately start turning to FALL. I love watching the leaves turn beautiful different colors, the smell in the air is crisp, and it feels so nice outside. I took a walk Friday morning, and I couldn't believe there was like a 10 degree difference just from last week. I admit, I have already taken my Fall trip to Tai Pan this week and purchased some cute Pumpkins for my porch and a new Fall wreath, call me crazy, but this is by far my favorite season to decorate for(besides Christmas, but that's a given)!! I was telling my mother in law, who lives close to the High School, that I love driving up to their house in the Fall and listening to the sound of the Football announcer's voice on Friday nights, that to me is another sound of FALL, unfortunately the football field is still "under construction" so we missed the announcer's voice this Friday. Okay, I will stop rambling, is anyone else getting excited???? If not, I apologize for removing my Summer decor on the blog so soon!!

I also have to share a few funny stories from this week. I totally dread grocery shopping, so if you have ever seen me on a Monday at Wal-mart (Yes, Halee I haven't seen you there for a little while) you will know that I look like a crazy lady with pizza's and baguettes falling out every side of the cart. Are we pigs at our house, c'mon, there's only 3 of us!! But, this is my thing. I only shop TWICE a month for groceries, therefore I stock up on TP, diapers, food, everything!!! Every other Monday is my shopping day, it takes like 3 hours, but atleast I only have to do it TWICE a month!!! Moving onto the point of my story. I was nearing the finish line....the frozen section. Isa had had enough, so she started to throuw a tantrum (at this point I don't even try to control the tantrums, I want to throw one myself). This might sound familiar, this is how the tantrum goes. A cute couple sniffles......holding breath for 10 seconds......as loud and with as much strength that can come out of a chest that small,,,the biggest scream you have ever heard in your entire life. Well, as we were rounding the corner to the frozen department, she was at the holding her breath part.....as soon as we started down the isle....the scream hit. There was a lady in the isle and she was not paying attention, she knew I was there, but that was about it. When Isa started "the scream" this woman did "The truffle shuffle"-if you are a fan of GOONIES, you know "The Truffle Shuffle". I had to hold my breath, I couldn't giggle in front of her. But, I admit it's the first time a tantrum has made me laugh hysterically!!

This one's for Chris. Chris had a baseball game on Thursday night. His routine is always the same. Come home from work, change, run to 7-11 and then hit the game. Well, he was at 7-11 picking up his Gatorade. He went to open the fridge door, and this 2 year old came out of nowhere and tried to run between Chris and the door, sadly enough........he didn't make it. He did however manage to completely plant his face on the glass of the door, which knocked him back on the ground. He layed there lifeless, Chris looked around and finally the mother came running over. If you know my husband, you can feel the uncomfortableness between him and the mother right now. He just looked up and said "Sorry, I didn't see him" She was really sweet about it, as she peeled her son up off the floor and carried him away. When he came home and told me about this, I laughed all day about it!!
