What We've Been Up To

Started my silver-leafed headboard: (it still isn't done, though, because I ran out of silver leafing and mulah [money])
 Silver leafing is a bugger!  

Discovered the deliciousness of Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal - I am addicted and I have FINALLY mastered it.

Quick weekend trip to cheer Mark and Edda on in their Marathon at St. George

 Mason built a small blanket fort

We went to the fair:
Austin took good care of Kimmie in the stroller-thing

Kimmie returned the favor

 Austin was a painter:

Kimmie was a diva (an adorable one!)

 We played with some butterflies 
(Seriously one of the coolest things ever!  There were HUGE butterflies that would just land on you and be your little friends :)

Austin boasted this "boutonniere" the whole time

Jen was a fab mommy and shared her butterflies with her sweetie-pie kids

There was some photo-bombing 

Giggles with my momma 

 My Awesome $5 feather earrings I got as a fair souvenir 

My must-haves: Fried Green Tomatoes! Mmmmm

Some smooching in between fried treats

Brian and Austin Bonding

Kimmie devoured our cotton candy 

We shared some divinely delicious and sweet corn on the cob (best corn EVER)

The kids went flying through the air


Saw a man who was pulling a stroller with his motorized wheelchair (only in OK)

The kiddos shared facial expressions as they ate huge corndogs

I ate some yummy red velvet funnel cake (The hit of this year's fair - Verdict: plain funnel cake is better) 

We went to the Rodeo (SOOOO much fun!)


Worshiped Pinterest: I love it so much, and Mason had to document my love, I guess...

Went on a date up the canyon, followed by Pumpkin Hot Chocolate and Monster House


I read my life away: Persuasion, Gone Primitive, Green Hills of Africa, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Jane Eyre, Shirley, Wuthering Heights, Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and lots of short stories

Witchie fingers for Halloween - Mmmmmmm, or rather, BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Our niece trick-or-treating at our apartment dressed as Little Red Riding Hood (Too cute!)

 An Arabian Nights themed Murder Mystery Dinner: Mason was a sorcerer and I was a fortune teller:

Mason let me put makeup on him :) 
Our friend's character was a cross dresser - classic!
(yes, that is a man)

Payne Family evening - we celebrated Tiffanie's birthday with Goodwood BBQ and a donut mountain cake


It has been an eventful few months and I can't wait for some more awesomeness! :)

OK, I LOVE the fair pictures! That was my first detailed account of it. :) Thank you!

AND you can't just tempt us with Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal and not give us the recipe! It's like, "Hey Mo, I just made the AWESOMEST Pumpkin Pancakes in the world... too bad you're not ready for them yet."
Which by the way, I did. And you're not.
