Winter bucket list

It may be a little early to be coming up with a winter bucket list but I don't care. I already see christmas lights going up, along with trees, and decorations which is making me even more anxious for the holidays. I have to say these seasons are much better and enjoyable with a spouse.  Saturday was the first somewhat heavy snowfall in Rexburg. As soon as Scott and I woke up we bundled up and took a walk outside. I love walking on freshly fallen snow that no one else has even walked on yet, I like it even more so when I have my handsome husband by my side.

Fall festivities

This past week has been a FUN one. I love all the fun activities Scott and I have been checking off on our Fall bucket list. I forgot how much I love this season. We decided to carve pumpkins Friday night with Scott's cousin Logan and his wife Becca. Originally Scott and I were just going to carve one pumpkin together but we got a little excited while picking out a pumpkin that we decided to go ahead and get two. We were both very proud of our work! I have to admit I was pretty impressed with Scott's pumpkin, he has a very artistic side to him. After gutting and carving we of course roasted the seeds, which seems to be a must when carving pumpkins. I've never been a big fan of pumpkin seeds, but Scott seems to love them...more for him. 

Can you tell whose is whose? 

Saturday evening we drove to the trail head of R-mountain to hike up and catch the sunset as sun went down. Scott loves hiking and the outdoors, as for me I was a little scared of the thought of a snake slithering out and crossing my path the whole way up. Scott assured me that snakes are more scared of us and that they don't move around when it is cold outside (whew). Once we reached the top it was so worth it, the sunset was beautiful! It was so fun sitting together watching the sunset change colors as the sun went down. We wish we could have camped out right there on the mountain so we could watch the sun rise as well, however that was against the R-mountain rules and we didn't have a tent. Maybe someday. I love doing fun adventures with Scott. Life is wonderful. 

Fall bucket list

Last week Scott and I created a Fall bucket list. We are so excited to start crossing some activities off. I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was perfect. I love writing lists, and this way we wont forget what we are wanting to do. So once Friday rolls around we have a fun plan for the weekend.

While crossing off the list 'scary movie marathon' we were also able to enjoy/cross off caramel dipped apple slices...YUMMM. It was so fun watching movies all day with my sweet. Usually scary movies can be kind of cheesy and lame but all the movies we picked were surprisingly great. Thank you Netflix!

Recently we have had some fun trying out Pinterest dessert recipes. Our new favorite is crock pot monkey bread. It is so easy, simple, and delicious. here is the recipe: Crock Pot Monkey Bread Ingredients 1 tube Biscuits, I used Pillsbury Biscuits 1 Tsp Cinnamon 1/4 cup Margarine/butter, Melted 1 cup brown sugar Directions 1.
