Falling In Fall!



Happy Fall Y'all! I know we are a week late to the party, but in my defense it is still low 80s here at a mile high! 

It is every female 20 somethings favorite season, and I am right there in that mix celebrating pumpkin spice everything (really I can't stand pumpkin, but I'm all about a good bandwagon)  wearing an over sized sweater and boots half way up my thighs.It is the season filled with God's beautiful falling leaves, cool mornings, and warm days. The season filled with Saturday and Sunday football and so much to be thankful for. 

I always feel like fall is a very romantic season. Maybe because the leaves give me all the feels. Maybe because there are a million different dates you can go on (pumpkin patches, scary movies, looking at leaves, or you know getting lost in a corn field). Maybe because now that we host Thanksgiving it reminds me of all the love that is in our home. Whatever the reason is I just adore fall and all the wonderful things it brings. 

This year is a little bitter sweet for me. This year fall is the last season that we will have as a family of two, which is such a sweet blessing to our life, but I am sad  to lose the relationship we have right now and the way we interact.I will miss the cuddles on the couch, the movie dates we enjoy, the silliness that constantly overcomes us, and the people we are today. I cannot wait for  Kaleb and I to welcome our little bean on"December 9th" or you know somewhere around there, but I will miss these moments. That being said I really want to enjoy fall and this season and create a few more memories just the two of before she comes. 

I want to enjoy our FALL BUCKET LIST! A list filled with things that maybe we have done before and we are just continuing to add them as yearly traditions, a few things we have never done, and a few that need to be done (because I live in a Halmark movie and need these things to happen!). :)


    • The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (this is a must in my book and always has been, but experiencing it with my husband makes it that much better.)
    • Apple Picking 
    • A drive through the mountains to see the beautiful changing leaves
    • Fall/Thanksgiving decorations throughout the house! (hello hobby lobby)
    • Bake some homemade pies (goaling myself to make an apple pie for the first time.)
    • Visit a pumpkin patch
    • Take family photos- this year will be maternity photos, but I'm excited to have our last photos of just the two of us. 
    • Carve pumpkins
    • Have a thermos picnic 
    • Watch scary movies (I'm currently afraid of our new basement, so this could be a dangerous one)
    • Make smores and have a fire on our new patio
    • Go to a football game
    • Host Thanksgiving
Its a pretty full list, especially considering the fact that we are having a baby in three months, but I am determined to complete it! Also, I always say I'm going to post photos, but this time I really am!! (fingers crossed)

Do you have any fall must dos? I would love to hear about them! :) 


XOXO,
B

Top 10 Tips for Flying with an Infant

Last week we spent the entire week in Cincinnati for the national veterans wheelchair games, which was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life, but we will save that for a different post. We met great people, had wonderful conversation, and took our sweet girl on her first airplane ride. Being the crazy mom that I am, I stressed about the plane ride for far to long and made way to many mental notes on how to survive it. I asked everyone who had ever flown with a child what to do and received some great advice. My goal is to break it down into the top 10 things you "need" in order to survive flying with a baby! 1. Plastic Bags are Your Friend Prior to heading out to the airport I separated Ellie's diaper back with gallon size baggies. I had all her diapers and wipes packed in one, toys in another, and food in it's own. It made fast diaper changes before take off a breeze, as well as finding snacks in the air. Everything had its place an...

Nine Months

        My Sweet Eloise Jeanne, Month nine has come and gone and mama has been the worst at putting this together. Has with every month this one has been equally busy and equally different. I find myself smelling your sweet baby scent as it becomes fainter. I hold you nightly after you have fallen asleep staring at your sweet tiny face. This month I feel that we said goodbye to my baby baby and began welcoming our soon to be toddler. Your personality has come out in force, you know what you want and will do whatever it takes to get it. You are determined and strong willed, both qualities that I know will take you far in the future. I miss my baby baby but love playing with my new toddler girl. This month was a huge month for mobility. We went from not really being able to move at all to moving constantly. On July 25th you began trying to army crawl and can successfully get yourself from one place to another. On Friday,...

Eleven Months

Hello Eloise Jeanne,  Can you believe it, you are eleven months old. This month was different than the others because I knew exactly what we were doing a year ago. I remember celebrating you with our church family back home, I remember making the long drive to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta and celebrating you at Aunt Becca's shower. I remember feeling as though I couldn't get any bigger and then I did. I remember counting each of your kicks to make sure you were growing just right. You were my best friend long before I met you and you captured my wold long before the world greeted you.  This month you seemed to truly embrace that crazy toddler side and nothing can stop our speed crawler. You know exactly where the dog food is and love to play in Chuck's water, chuck does not find it quite as amusing. You are love to smile, you are constantly smiling and waving at anyone and everyone. You figured out how to wave, the sweet little precious wave whe...
