SJH: Life the past few months...

Towards the end of September, Spencer and I put together a yard sale for our cousin who is winning the fight with Leukemia...it was a success! Our cute nieces, Elle and Abby, came over to help! The night before the yard sale, we treated them to pizza! The breadsticks were their favorite part! We also took them to Krispie Kreme right after. Yes, yes, aunt and uncle of the year!!

Elle and Abby donated a bunch of their stuff to the yard sale and were quite the saleswomen! These babies below sold quick :)

We were all exhausted after the yard sale!! This picture of Elle sums up our day and makes us smile...and laugh :)

Then came my birthday week...yes, week! It is a grand celebration around our house, hehe, and Spencer does a fabulous job!! Here is a cute note I found with my shake he had made me. Spencer is the best!!

For my birthday, we redid our bedroom. I wish this was a better picture because the walls look amazing! We also redid another bedroom in our house :) :)

Spencer had these sent to me on my birthday, my favorite!!

Here I am with my cute doggie dogs waiting for my mom! She came down for my birthday and we all went out to dinner! Fun times!!

I love this guy more than anything! He is my world! I snapped a quick photo right before one of our nights out! We make it a point to go out one night a week for date night! I love it and I sure love him, mmmm!

Here we are being a family one night hanging out watching tv. I cherish these moments...silly faces and all! I am not much of a tv watcher and you will never catch me watching it during the day, but lately Spencer and I really like watching Criminal Minds, Chicago Fire, and Blue Bloods together!!

Halloween!! One of my favorite holidays!! Here are nieces and nephews on my side of the family all dressed up. We love them oh so much!!!

Chade even joined in for the festivities!! Ok, not so much! I put this shirt on him around Halloween every year and he is not a fan; infact, my poor boy goes catatonic the moment I put it on. For the legs, our other dogs were playing tug 'o war and flung it on him. All I can say is Chade was a sport for letting me capture a quick photo :)

We buy so much candy every year for our trick or treaters in our neighborhood. We get a ton and I LOVE it! I especially love seeing our primary kids come to the door. They are so much fun!!

Tis Hunting Season...Spencer and his buddies~Westin and Sash! Sash hears the word, "Bird" and she goes crazy!! She loves pheasant hunting! Since Westin is a pup, this is his first year and his love grows stronger each time. We have gone quite a bit this year with my dad and he has a pup around Westin's age. They have fun! We got chuckers for them and they had fun sniffing them out. I think they are going to be great hunters very soon :) :)

I used to go all the time with my dad as a little girl. Now that I am older, I still love to go especially to see my dogs hunt! It is so fun to see them point out a bird. It's like a proud mommy moment :) Anyway, the guys talked me into shooting a gun. I don't know what my deal is...maybe it is age, but I used to love shooting when I was younger!!

A couple weeks ago, my dad was unable to go hunting, so Spencer invited his younger brother and it was his first time and Sash and Westin were the only dogs. Sash did awesome and pointed all these birds..once again, so proud!!

Random moment: I bought 5 pounds each of white and milk chocolate. One day I am going to bake something fabulous...just you wait, haha! Story: A CNA I work with had these at work and they taste amazing and she orders once a year from somewhere and they are really good chocolates...random, I know!!

We had a great Thanksgiving with our family and this is the only picture I got, but it is a darling picture of my nieces!! Sure love these girls!!

Spencer and I have been a little adventurous lately. We woke up really early, I'm talking 4:30am, on a Saturday morning and decided to go out to breakfast! It was so much fun!!!

Here is another picture of my good lookin' husband...love date night!!

I joined CrossFit with some great friends and I am LOVING it! It definitely kicks my butt and I have been sooo sore for quite some time, but I am addicted (please don't tell my trainers).

We started the month of December by going to The Festival of Trees. We both love it and had so much fun!! Spencer really liked this tree!

Santa comes to our neighborhood every year bearing gifts (he throws out candy)and our neighbor girl, who is in our primary class, was so sweet and caught a bag for us...hmm, maybe she heard me ask Spencer to catch us a bag??
