taste of fall

i never thought i would say this, but...i miss utah weather! i am sure my opinion will change come december, but for now fall sounds quite appealing. mainly for the clothing possibilities. since there are no signs of fall appearing here anytime soon, i have decided to take matters into my own hands. tomorrow i will be baking this:

i have been on the hunt for some affordable botanical prints. no such luck until last night i was browsing through pottery barn and found the perfect set. i went to ask the lady if they were for sale. unfortunately, not. little did i know the best news was about to come. she said after their floor set changes she just THROWS AWAY any display prints. all i have to do is call in a couple weeks and she will set them aside for me to pick up if they still have them. okay, lady...you asked for it. i will be calling everyday. just wanted to pass on the info...thank you pottery barn.

These Arizona summer days have been hot! Especially for this ball of fur. Good thing she finally took a liking for the pool!

I think it will be getting a lot more use now.

recent happenings

Austin found this swimming in the pool with him yesterday. Yes, your eyes are correct. It is an orange snake! It is still alive in the water bottle. We've added another pet to the Bluth household!

1st BIG purchase

Today marks the day of our first big purchase together. After two years we finally bought...brace yourselves...a dining room table and chairs! Now all we need is a place to put it in. Until then, it will sit in storage.
