Carving Pumpkins..

We all went over to Lindsay and Chase's after we went four wheeling and we carved pumpkins and made Carmel apples. It was a lot of fun:) Tara and Madison colored their pumpkin with water colors Madison was loving it. Lindsay, Chase and I are the only ones that carved pumpkins. Mom did the Carmel apples and dad grilled the fish and steaks. It was a lot of fun to be together as a family (of course I missed having Todd there).

Four Wheeling

We went four wheeling last weekend. We left Saturday morning and went out south of Malta up by Stanrod in those mountains. It was a lot of fun. We ran into some snow as we got closer to the top we weren't able to go all the way to the top because there was so much snow. But it was so much fun to be up in the mountains surrounded by all the beautiful fall colors. We are so lucky that is as amazing weather.

Babysitting Ainsley

A few weekends ago I was in Malta and we got to watch Madison and Ainsley while Chase and Lindsay went four wheeling. I always love watching these two. We laid ainsley down to sleep on my mom and dads bed and we went in there a little while later and this is how we found Ainsley, with her headband down around her face it was so cute:)

Ainsley and Madison Pics.

I had the opportunity to take some pics of Madison and Ainsely. I was wanting to get some of Ainsley when she was a week or two old but we didnt have time so we finally got some taken when she was a month old. I am loving my camera and I am slowly getting it figured out. I love these two girls so much and am so blessed to have them in my life.

Madison loves Boise State. Everytime I show her my picture on my phone of BSU she gets so EXCITED..

Sunday drive up north...

On October 9 we went up to Bellvue to visit Todd's parents and then we went on up to Sun Valley and all over up there to look at the trees with their leaves changing. It is so pretty up in that area this time of year. I took my camera so I could take some pictures and I didnt take any pictures of all the tree's but on our way back home we went the scenic route from Hailey to Bellvue and we saw all these elk in a field right off the side of the road. I am so glad I was able to get a picture of them they were BEAUTIFUL and the bull elk was HUGE!!

One step closer...

It has been a crazy last two weeks. We put in an offer on the house a week ago yesterday and we offered them $120,000 which we knew was pretty low since they were asking $130,000 but we thought what the heck lets try it. Well of course they came back with a counter offer of $124,999 and we split the closing costs so we came back with our counter offer as $122,000. We finally all agreed on $122,500 and splinting the closing costs. Which I am totally okay with so now we just wait and wait on the bank and all the paper work. We were already pre-approved so I am really hoping that it will go faster but I should know better and expect it to take awhile. They had to drill a new well and my dad called today and they were already there setting it up and getting started on it. So that is a step closer to closing. I never knew that buying a home could be so stressful. Every day that I am still here in Twin gets harder and harder I can not wait to move. I am okay when Todd is home but as soon as he leaves to go back to Elko I long to be in Malta. I am very excited to get this house and to be able to paint it the way I want too:) I have always wanted a deep red wall in my living room so when we were out there the other day Todd asked me if I had my red wall picked out yet and I told him "OF COURSE" I am so excited to start painting and making it "OUR HOME".
