Double Trouble...

I am thankful for the two smiles that greet me every day.
The first one from these lips.
The second from the crease made with chin one and chin two.

Love,

Shoes...

Today I looked around my house.
Dishes from homemade pizza.
Laudry waiting to be done.
Fabric sprawled out everywhere from unfinished projects.

I thought about growing up at home, how my mom kept the house masterfully clean. Years of experience balancing kids, projects, chores and life. How did she do it so perfectly?

I have big shoes to fill.

Love you all,

Ohio is for Lovers...

But our hearts are still in the west.

I miss these faces already.

Match Made in Heaven..

{If we are being technical, it is actually match made in the temple}

Match #1

Mr. and Mrs. Covey Morris

Match #2

Trevor Jay, Huds, and Me


As I entered the Salt Lake Temple this last Saturday in Fall for my sister Jen's wedding, it was the first time all of the Bradshaw Girls were there together.
It felt right.
Let's do that again and again and again.... forever.

In the House where we live...

October has brought many wonderful moments in the Bledsoe Household.

Drives to get to know our beautiful Ohio

With the handsome Trevor Jay as chauffeur.

Lots of these.

Afternoon Footsies

Jack-o-lantern pancakes with hot pure maple syrup.

These moments I hope never to forget.

Love you all. See you in Provo tomorrow

10 Reasons why October is my Favorite Month...

1. Monday Family Night before Halloween=
Chicken/Beef Pot Pie
Carve Pumpkins
Carmel Apples for Dessert
(pictures of this years festivities to come)

2. Dinner in a Pumpkin
(Thanks Collette)

3. Annual Warner Halloween Party
(sadly we will not be attending this year due to our new location)



4. Haunted Houses
like this one

5. Carmel Apple Cider from Starbucks

6. Three Words :
Red
Yellow
Orange

7. Little trick-or-treating witches, jack-o-lanterns, and ghosts

8. Being so excited/indecisive about what to be that I dress
up as something different for each night.

9. Finding the most insanely-extravagant carved pumpkin and wondering
how anyone has that much time on their hands.

To see what I mean, look at some of these.

10. CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN BREAD..



We can't get enough, so we thought we would share it with you. It'll change your life.

3 c. white sugar
1 (15oz.) can pumpkin puree
1 c. vegetable oil
2/3 c. Water
4 eggs

3 1/2 c. all purpose flower
1 TBS ground cinnamon
1 TBS nutmeg
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

mix sugar, pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs.
Mix in flower, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt until blended well.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until an inserted knife comes out clean.

If I am in a hurry I make them into cupcakes instead (bake at 350 for 16 mins)

Enjoy!

Speaking of not getting enough of stuff...

Here's something else we can't get enough of.

Happy Halloween.

Love you all. See you in 2 weeks my beloved Provo.
