Thanksgiving 2015

We had our Thanksgiving this year with the Bushnell crew. 
This was Autumn's 2nd Thanksgiving, but 1st one where she was able to actually eat.
 The berry Jello was definitely her favorite! I think it's pretty much all she ate.


 She also had fun playing with some of her cousins - Andrew and Spencer.
The boys and some of the kids played a traditional basketball game before we had our feast. 
I would have played too, but Autumn ended up needing a nap.

 We had a great day full of family and food! 

I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family - the family I grew up in, the family I married into, and of course my own little family of 3. I love this time of year to reflect on all that I am thankful for and all that my Heavenly Father and savior Jesus Christ have given me. I have been given so much and especially just in the past year or so. I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl,Matt got a awesome job, we were able to buy a home, and we have plenty of things to fill it with. I am grateful for this time of year also because of it's beauty.I love Fall time. I love the changing leaves, the cooler weather, all the holidays, and a chance to spend time with family. 

Happy Thanksgiving!


November is Happy Happy Birthday Month

Matt turned the big 3-0 this year! 
His birthday was on a Sunday so we just celebrated with our little family.
I decided to do something cute and cheesy and got a photo of him 
from each year of his life and put them on balloons.
 It was fun to see him grow up from a cute little boy to a very attractive 'old' man. :)



 I decided to spend a little more than I usually would on a Birthday and got him a disc golf basket. It's portable so we can put it in our backyard or take it to a park or wherever we want. 
 I also got him 30 other smaller things as well!
 Birthday nap with Daddy and Balloons!



 Happy Birthday to my favorite person!
 I love him so much! I am so glad he was born 30 years ago. 
He is my best friend, a wonderful husband, and the greatest and cutest Dad ever! 
 14 Months Old - November 2015

 She has had so much fun this month with this basket and all her stuffed animals. 
Her favorite has been her tiger.



 This is a face she used to give all the time when something surprised her or 
she got excited about something. 
 Happy Birthday Flash - 5 years old!



My Birthday is in November too. 
We didn't take any pictures on my birthday, but this one is a day or 2 before I turned 28. I actually woke up with my stomach not feeling too hot on my birthday. So we mostly just hung around the house and watched some tv/movies. I did get some pretty awesome tomahawk throwing knives from Matt though. We had fun playing around with them the next day. It might seem weird, but I really like them and the feeling I get when they stick into a stump. We celebrated a little more the next day when we went to Logan. We went out to lunch and I got to do a little shopping. 
 I baby sat a little girl in our ward one day and these too had a lot of fun together. 
She seriously loves these stuffed animals so much. We left for a weekend once and when we got back she was more excited to see her stuffed pets than her real pets. 



Happy Halloween

Halloween 2015


 Autumn was Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. I am a big Harry Potter fan, so it was a lot of fun finding and making things for her costume. 





 I dressed up a little bit too and so did Matt. He was a dementor and wore a black cloak. Autumn thought it was a bit too scary. I didn't get a photo of him in it. 
 I may have had a little too much fun dressing her up and taking pictures. 
I love her in the wig and with the lion on her head. Classic Luna!



 She had a ton of fun trick or treating for the first time. 
She got a lot of candy for only going a block or so.
