lets go back

Remember {here} when we went on our fall getaway with friends...

well I finally uploaded pictures :)

This precious pup is Vali's new best friend Gunner...

sweetest well-behaved cuddly puppy

 

 

Vali decided the water was not enough for her feisty self,

so she sprinted full speed through the forest...

maybe we should have Gunner train her a little more 

Her dad was a little nicer to her than her mother was :)

The boys worked on lots of projects:

golf cart renovation, digging a firepit, finding dry firewood, grilling

 

 

  

We ate a LOT!  The girls played with random recipes 

the guys grilled wonderful dinners and Adam made his famous apple pie :) 

 

tasty treats

On the side of the funfetti icing container there is a

yummy recipe for icing dipped apples 

(just like candy coated apples)

We (the girls at the lake trip!) thought it would 

be easier to cut up bite size apple pieces...

slide onto a skewer, and drizzle with icing and sprinkles

so tasty

This next one is nothing new just fun for Halloween:

Just make the jello as usual, but pour into fun glasses

for it to set... then top with whip cream for a little snack.

(I wish I had Halloween sprinkles!) 

Patrick and I love making homemade waffles :)

This is the best waffle maker... so easy to clean!

Here is the recipe we used:

2 cups flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 3/4 cup milk

6 tbsp vegetable oil

 2 large eggs

1/2 cup pureed fruit (applesauce)

(makes 8- pour 1/2 cup for each waffle)

and then we added a few drops of food coloring for this festive treat:

Do you have any tasty treats for Halloween?

why I love mariemont

These first few pictures are from the Mariemont Fall festival... 

scavenger hunts, tasty fall treats, magician, pumpkins, crafts= a 20 yr old's child's dream!

 

 

 Dear Mariemont, you are beautiful in every season,

but can you allow autumn to stay a little longer please

 

 

 

 I am obsessed with this window box:  :)

 Our favorite place is at the end of the street... 

A beautiful lookout over the valley and river.
