Random thoughts...

I feel like the past few weeks I have not had a moment to breath. Between Birthday Parties, wedding stuff, baby blessings and the last few weeks of summer, we have been so busy. I feel like I have been so behind in documenting our lives. I am so excited for Fall! I love summer, it is definitely my favorite time of year, but I also love fall. The colors, smells and clothes are all so fun. I love going outside and feeling the change in the air, I love being able to wear jackets at night, I love having a cool house when I wake up in the morning. I love making yummy treats and I love the color the sky turns when it is fall. I think it changes to its most beautiful blue! Maybe it is just the contrast of the colors around. We are looking forward to football season! I love college football but my sweetie is a major NFL fan. I can't help but be excited just because he is so excited. I have been sewing a lot, mostly for Jessica's wedding but also a few things for fun. I will post pictures of my projects soon. Recently I have been searching for some comfortable shoes to wear on our Disney vacation. I have such sore and tired feet all of the time. I got some vans but Cor said I am not such a vans girl. I would have to agree with that. They weren't happy for my feet anyway. My Mom told me about some shoes called Toms. I had never heard of them. Jessica wanted some for her Birthday so I went with her to the mall. They have them at Nordstrom and at Lolabellas. They may possibly be the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet. I could not leave without them. So here they are. Corey thinks they could possibly be the ugliest shoes he has ever seen. Oh well. They make my feet happy. Some cute child in Africa gets a new pair of shoes too. That's the deal with Toms shoes. One for One. They have a million different colors and fabrics but I chose plum cords. I love purple right now. I love my life and feel so grateful for my sweetie and my babes. For my home and for the gospel. We are so excited to get a break and head to California. I love California. I could so easily live there. I will close these random thoughts with another story from the mouth of Sophie. She has really been acting up lately. I think it is the change in routine from summer to fall. The other day she was having a moment so I had a talk with her. After asking her to do something for the millionth time, I finally told her that Princesses always listened to their parents. I told her that they were loving and kind and if she wanted to be a princess she needed to do those things. A while later she was doing well at listening and she said, "Mom I am a princess I am listening to my parents. I am going to marry a prince and his name is Corey Jens Halliday. She is so funny.
