12/11/2013 The original plans were to get a family picture done for a Thanksgiving card. Unfortunately the blog is as far as it has gotten.

 12/02/2013 Thanksgiving was a surprise in Arizona! My Mother-in-law was turning 50 and that was excuse enough to surprise-fly out there!

Picked Daddy up from school today to have a surprise pick-nick at the Franklin Institute park. Couldn't have been a nicer fall afternoon.

Tickle monster, smiles, and lots of walking.

I no longer have to wait since it is officially Fall season. I love busting out my favorite 3 ingredient pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe! I have already made them twice for dessert with two different sets of dinner guests. ha. So here is how it goes:

1 carrot cake mix or spice
1 small can of pumpkin
1 12 oz bag of chocolate chips

350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Always milk and cookies.

Today was a good day. We got a little adventurous and spent last night in Washington DC in preps for a wedding for Clay's mission friend. I was extra excited getting up there because our new temple district is Washington DC! It was my first time at the DC temple! Woot!  While Clay was in on the wedding ceremony, V and I walked around the temple grounds and even went in and checked out the visitor center. Pretty special mom and lil buddy time talking temples and stuff. :) The visitor center had on display "Jesus once was a little child," the artwork of Rose Datoc Dall.  I loved it! Click Rose Datoc Dall painting series to see what I am talking about.
