I Love Fall !!!!!

I don't know if I have ever mentioned how much I love fall. It may be the vibrant colors of the dancing Aspen leaves, the smell of Pumpkin Pie candles from Yankee Candles or the crisp air. I'm not quite sure what the draw is, but something about the combination of things make me want to bake, decorate, wear sweaters and give Martha Stewart a run for her money. So far this fall we have made so many awesome things. We made Crab Apple Jam, which Isabelle, Grandma and Great-Grandma Carol helped harvest and prepare. We also made a fall wreath, Amish Friendship Bread, Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (it was a flop), and peach pie.

Our little ladybug

In the spirit of fall, Jason and I took Isabelle, in her Halloween costume, to the Pumpkin Festival. It was so cute. Isabelle is really getting a personality and she loves people. When we were there she was watching everyone intently with curiosity in her eyes. She is just awesome. Jason was tickling me and Isabelle was laughing just because I was. Did I mention that she is awesome. I may be partial but I think she comes from awesome stalk because Jason is great too. Well enough of my blabbing, here are some pics from our latest adventure and one embarrassing one for the ages.

Is with the perfect pumpkin.

Daddy and his little princess

We have a picture of Jason almost exactly like this from yesterday...just kidding. It is actually from when he was about her age.

She has learned to stand on her own, but her nerves get the best of her. Here she is so interested in the little girl in the video that she is not even realizing that she is standing.

Me and my honey bunny

She is banging on the pumpkin which is her favorite thing to do next to waving.
