Happy fall Ya'll!!

Today marks the first full day of the fall season! :) This summer has been a very hot one! This past week the evenings have been a little cooler, so we have been turning off the AC and opening up our windows! I'm loving it! Tonight we have the windows open and it's raining outside..such a beautiful background noise! So, as much as I have loved this summer, I am so excited for fall! Fall is by far my favorite season!

Here are the reasons I love fall:
5. After waiting all summer, all my shows start back up!
4. The colors..I love the red, orange, yellow, and brown of fall!
3. Football season! I love tailgating and going to the games! Of course Auburn takes priority over  EVERYTHING (seriously..everything!) at this house, so if Auburn and OSU play at the same time..we sell our tickets! ha!
2. Sunday afternoons! Parker and I go to church, grab some lunch, and then put on our jerseys and have a lazy sunday watching the cowboys play! How bout dem cowboys!
1. The holidays!! It is so fun to see all the kids dressed up for halloween! Halloween is not my favorite holiday, BUT I do love that I can finally listen to Christmas music! Seriously, Nov 1, I break out my Christmas CDs..you can ask my mom! I also love thanksgiving! I love the food and family and football..pretty much everything about it! Then after thanksgiving is over, you can finally start decorating for Christmas..my favorite holiday! :)

I'm planning to make a wreath for our front door this weekend and start putting up our fall decorations! I will post pictures when it's finished!

SOO ready for fall!!

These past couple weeks, we have been getting uninvited visitors in our house! These "visitors" leave me standing on the kitchen table while Elizabeth snaps pictures and Parker tries to get them back outside or in the trash! Thankfully, Elizabeth and Parker are always at the house when we get any little creatures!

Elizabeth sent me these two pictures so I could share them with you..

Sorry, this one is a litte blurry. A couple weeks ago Parker brought his golf clubs in the house and Elizabeth and I were looking at them when we noticed this guy crawling around inside the back. So Elizabeth and Parker finally got him to crawl out of the bag and then parker steppe on him, killing him, or so we thought. Elizabeth goes to take a picture and he starts running..which explains why the picture is a little blurry.

We thought the first guy we found was pretty big..until we saw this one. I was letting Remi out before putting him to bed the other night. When I opened the door, this one was trying to run in until Remi pounced on him and then he turned from the door just as I slammed it shut with a scream! Parker ran over and before he killed it Elizabeth snapped a picture while at the same time trying to stop Remi from eating it. Thankfully Parker took care of him before letting Remi out!

I am so ready for the fall season to get here! With this hot weather, everytime we open the door the bugs swarm in and we are always on the lookout for crickets and spiders! YUCK!

On another note, Elizabeth was telling me about this thing called Ear Candling. You can get ear candles at GNC so we went a bought a couple this past weekend. Elizabeth's husband, Brad drove up so the four of us thought we would try it out..it was pretty gross! If you want to see what we did and our pictures from it you can check out Elizabeth's blog here! She also explains what exactly ear candling is!



I'm an Aunt!

Gameday!

The 2010 football season is finally here!!

Yesterday we headed to Boone Pickens Stadium with Jane, Elizabeth, Brad, Matt, and Jason to cheer on our cowboys (after an entire day of tailgating and watching all the other games from the day)! The weather was perfect and we had a great game to start off the season!

Parker and me at the game!

This was the only picture I got from the day. Since we had a pretty good lead on washington state, we left the game early to grab some dinner with friends and then head back home so Parker could catch some of the Auburn game..of course! The auburn tigers also won their game, so yesterday was a great season starter for college football according to the Welsh household! :)

First Blog!

I have somehow gotten onto the blogging bandwagon, and am now officially a blogger. I'm sure you are all just as shocked as I am! So I guess this officially begins the online scrapbook of my life as a Welsh! Well, that being said there really is no better "first blog" than where it all began..the wedding!

Paker and I have been so blessed with the family and friends God has put in our lives. Our wedding day was filled with love, laughter, and even rain! The rain was truly a blessing, because our wedding was outdoor and the heat was becoming unbearable. Since we were getting married under a tent, we were all praying for rain to cool down the area, and our prayers were answered just before the ceremony began!

Parker and me right after we saw each other for the first time!

  

I love my girls!

The wedding!

The day was perfect! We left in our jeep wrangler (very little mud included thanks to Mason, Maynard, and Dad!) and headed to Cancun for the week a much needed week of relaxing on the beach!
