Day 1

Here is a recent picture of myself:

And 15 interesting facts about myself...hmm...this is going to be hard because I'm probably the most un-interesting person ever! Well, I'm not promising they'll be interesting, but here they are:

1. I am a stay at home mom and I absolutely love it!

2. My husband and I met when we were 16 years old and we got married when we were 20.

3. I have two cats: Abby & Lillian

4. We live in Pennsylvania.

5. I am a horrible cook.

6. I LOVE chocolate. Actually, I just have a huge sweet tooth in general.

7. I've only ever had one job. I got a job at Walmart as a cashier when I was 16 and worked there until I was 20.

8. I have one brother, Dan, who is 25.

9. Avery has two cousins. (My husband's sister has 2 boys.)

10. I played piano for 6 years from age 5-11. I would love to pick it up again!

11. I love scrapbooking.

12. I am addicted to buying clothes and shoes for Avery. I can't help it, there is so much cute stuff for girls!

13. I have my hairdressing license. I went to Paul Mitchell cosmetology school, but decided that hairdressing wasn't for me.

14. Summer is by far my favorite season.

15. I hate cleaning, but for some reason I get the urge to clean the whole house when I'm laying in bed at night.

A Walk

I love going for walks with Avery. It was a gorgeous day yesterday and the leaves are just beautiful. Here is our walk in pictures:

I love all of the different colored leaves in the fall. Sooner than later, the trees are going to be bare :(

Falling in love with Fall

Yesterday my mom, Avery, & I went to a Fall festival. It was alot of fun, but very crowded! There were tons of vendors selling crafts & such, a petting zoo, & yummy food. They also had horse & carriage rides, pony rides, and a little train pulling kids. I so wish that Avery could've rode a pony, but she's a little too small. The weather was gorgeous and actually a little hot in the sun. I bought Avery a cute winter hat & mittens and an adorable crochet beanie. Here are some pictures of our fun day:

looking at all of the pretty things

Hangin' with grandma

Lunch break!

We let her sit on the pony real quick :)

Right after this picture, she grabbed onto the cow's hair and wouldn't let go haha

My little pumpkin!
