5 years old!

Today is a very windy day. It's nice. Feels like Fall. Well, on October 21st Peyton Ryne turned 5. 5. He's so big! I seriously can't take the idea of him going to school next year! But he is just mine for now so we will enjoy every minute of it. He had 3 birthday celebrations this year since we celebrated with both families and he had a Halloween Party with cousins and friends. I love that he was born so close to Halloween. October is my favorite month of the year after all.

We started out having a fire in our fireplace for the very first time! It was so exciting for everyone and we enjoyed it so much.

We're so glad that Peyton is part of our family. He is such a great boy, learning so much, growing so big, and making us happy! Happy Birthday!

A Sunday Escape

We decided to go higher on the mountain to find us some Autumn. As we drove higher we slowly started to see more colors. It's still a little early but we found some Fall. In just a couple of weeks things will look completely different. I can't wait for that. Here is our little day trip documented.

Tiring day for Peyton. But this helped him to be ready for the rough hike ahead.

Starting to see some color!

Remember this picture from last year? Here we are again, a year older.


Peyton took this photo of us and did a great job!

After the tough hike, I mean... tough.

We are so enjoying Fall here. My favorite time of year and even more now that I live in it! I love it. My house is decorated for Halloween with a couple of new creations. I am currently working on making the kids Halloween costumes and a couple more. I will share those when they are done. Happy Fall!

Fall Celebration

We had our annual Fall celebration last Friday on the first of October. We had fun decorating caramel apples and then of course enjoyed eating them while watching Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin. I love that movie. That one is my favorite of all the Charlie Brown specials. It makes life feel so simple and good. Paige was really just interested in the apple part of the caramel apple. The next day I peeled off the caramel for her and she was a happy bird.

The weather is getting chilly here. We are so ready to use our fireplace for the first time. Maybe this weekend. Enjoy your cooler weather wherever you are.
