A glimpse of Colorado in the Fall....

On Saturday My husband had a brilliant idea! We took the kids up to the Mountains to see the leaves and the Elk. We took our little Coleman grill and had an awesome picnic...with the most amazing scenery surrounding us. It was just a simple...beautiful day that I will never forget! Here are a couple of pictures of Colorado in The Fall! So beautiful.....

We saw hundreds of Elk that day, this one was bugling at another male

I love this picture...how Allie is looking at her big brother!

Okay...I am off to whip up some candles! Have a wonderful Monday!

Harvest Fest

Oh how I love the Fall! This past weekend me and my husband took the kids to the local Harvest Fest. It was such a great day; watching Anna on the ponies, seeing Allie's face light up in the petting zoo, seeing Michael's face light up when he saw the kettle corn booth (so yummy)! The best part of the day was when we got ready to leave and instead crying for more, Anna looked up and said, "Thank you mommy and daddy for taking us today". **sigh** Me and my husband must be doing something right!! Days like these remind me what's important to me in life....My family and enjoying the simplicity of life!




I asked my husband, "Please honey can I get a baby goat?"

Anna looking so proud on the pony ride, with her daddy by her side!

Of course she had to go for the pink bucket!

Michael is the ultimate big brother!

Remember to count your blessings and enjoy the simple things in life!

Fall flower arrangement

Okay so I was at Michael's searching for the perfect Fall arrangement for my kitchen table. I really did not want to spent $75.00..thats how much the one was that I really had my eye on! I decided to make my own...not from scratch though...because that still would have been like $40.00 (geese...i sure am getting cheap). So I was thinking that maybe I could buy a couple of berry and fall leaf twigs and just add them to my existing summer table arrangement!! It worked...I think it looks great and I ended up spending only about $8.00! Woo hoo!!

Happy Fall...and be sure to go to http://theinspiredroom.net/ for other fall decorating tips!!
