We are still here!

It seems like these last couple of months have just flown by. I have severly neglected our blog so I hope that I can catch everyone up to our household happenings.


Cam and I have both been busy at work and trying to get the house ready for this winter. We finally painted our bedroom which I absolutely love. Next up we are painting the hallway, spare bedrooms and possibly our bathroom. We are also carpeting the upstairs and replacing all of the bedroom windows. Now that the weather is changing, and fall is here the new windows will be very nice. We both tend to be a little grumpy if it's too cold in the house in the morning.


Tia just turned 3 and Maisy just turned 1. We had a little birthday party for them last weekend that was a lot of fun. I even made pink velvet cupcakes! They got lots of neat presents and had fun playing with all of their friends.

Check out pictures from the party here:

Maisy is turning into quite the little athlete. I started taking her running with me to try and channel some of her "hyperness". Turns out, she LOVES IT! So far we have gone 40 minutes and I am thinking she should be able to make it to an hour this week. She does an awesome job and is just in her little zone when we got out. I always wanted a dog to go running with, so the whole thing is perfect for me.


Cam has been playing fall flag football this year. He seems to like it. I try to go and watch his games if I don't have to work. Today they played really good and won. They are playing in a tough league, but hopefully they can keep on winning.


We went up to Green Bluff last weekend and got pumpkins to carve for Halloween. Tia and Maisy each got one and so did Cam and I. We are going to have a lot of pumpkin guts! It was hard work carving 3 pumpkins, but I think that they all turned out awesome. Cam cheated and used power tools to carve his. I don't know if I should consider him a cheater or just smarter....hmmm.

Cam is thinking about going back to school this winter and taking some night classes. At this point he is undecided if he will finish his accounting degree or start his master's.

I am looking forward to seeing all of the gorgeous fall colors. Not looking forward to raking up all of the leaves, but fall is my favorite time of the year. It's the perfect time for a pumpkin spice latte, blanket, and a good book!
