Rainy Fall Mornings

It finally has started raining here (whoever thinks it rains constantly in Oregon is TOTALLY WRONG)!!! I think I have decided that the locals spread that rumor around so no one will move here.  Anyway Fall is in the air, the trees are the prettiest red and orange I have ever seen, the weather is finally calling for boots and sweaters and to cozy up on the couch with a hot cup of tea (or Hot Cocoa).

This morning Scarlett slept in longer than she normally does - geeze I wish she would tell me the night before "you know mom I'm going to sleep in until 8:30"; that way I know and can get some things done before she even gets up.  So when she finally did wake up I surprised her with a cup of Hot Cocoa and "arsh-me-woes"! She does great with a regular cup - even though I am not moving her away from the munchkin sippy cups that I love - it's nice to know that she can handle a Big girl cup if she needs to, and I'm pretty sure she loves that she has a cup just like Mama's. :)

Cookies and More Cookies

Our weekend was pretty uneventful, We just hung around the house mostly.  The only fun thing we did was decorate halloween sugar cookies.  Scarlett had fun and we of course had fun watching her, she took a bite out of every cookie she decorated and ate frosting by the spoonful!!!!

Our Weekend!

Weekends around here seem to go by way too quickly - I blink and it's already Monday morning.  I love that Felix gets to spend every Saturday and Sunday with us now and I love exploring our new State.  On Saturday we went on the fruitloop tour and it was awesome! Farms, fruit stands, pumpkin Patches, Lavender fields and wineries! We will have to go back when I can taste all the different kinds of wine ;).  We let Scarlett run around a pumpkin patch, she got extremely dirty, but loved every second of it!  I love Fall the colors, the crisp air and EVERYTHING PUMPKIN.

Helping Mamma in the Kitchen

This little sweet girl helped me make the yummiest (and extra Chocolatiest) cookies! She Loved helping even though some of the flour didn't make it into the kitchen aide bowl.  She than stood in front of the oven (with the oven light on) and watched them bake to perfection!

Missed the bowl ha ha 

Cannon Beach

Of course our Favorite beach was on the agenda while our friends were here!!!  They loved it! We Loved it! The kids had a BLAST!

Waterfalls

Our Sweet Friends and there even sweeter (and cuter) boys came to visit us!!  We knew we wanted to take them to the big waterfalls here in Oregon, beautiful drive (I might have to talk Felix into going on the drive again in a few weeks to see the Fall Leaves).  Whats crazy is almost a year before, to the day, we were at the same waterfalls when we came out here for Felix's interview; it was just as breathtaking.
