The Pentons

One day to the next.  This is the same shot off my front porch.  Sorry the one is a little dark, it was taken at 7 am before I went to work :)

My in-laws threw me a baby shower and this master-piece of a a cake was made by my sister in law, I know she made it...impressive.  I also went for a pedicure, to all the pregnant ladies it's totally worth the $30, my feet felt so good to have all the knots out!

I love drying laundry on the line, it always seems more fresh to me, and this is the last time I'll get to do it seeing as how storms have moved into the area. :(

Two years we have won our wards chili cookoff, and we have done it again!  Not that I'm bragging, I think its funny especially if you look really close at what it says on the bottom of the trophy...he he.

I've waited 2 months for this book to come in at the library, I went from number 144 on the waiting list and I've finally got it, it took me 2 days to read.  I think I'll just buy the next one!

How can I ignore the color this time of year?  These were taken just right outside my apartment on my way to get the mail.

Remnants of my favorite classroom project- a fall leaf hunt!

One more post today.  I made this soup and it was so delicious and comforting that I want to share it!

It is squash-apple soup but you have to about triple the recipe to get enough.  I doubled it and it was enough for 2 bowls.

Can you tell a pregnant lady lives here--yes that is our front porch and I'm too lazy to bend down and pick all those up.  Its not my fault that they deliver the paper on Fri, Sat and Sun when you just want it on Sunday!

So, I've been wanting to start this project for a while but sometimes I think our life is too boring.  Its called a picture of the day project (POTD) and I've been inspired by this lady: Becky Higgins  she's this major scrapbooker and I've been following her blog just for fun.  Last Christmas she put out a product call project life and its specifically made for those people who take 1 picture everyday.  Anyways on to my story.  I have this scrapbooking album and it is fabulous just for regular scrapbooking, but lately I've been wanting to document every day life.  Sure it's not very exciting and some of the pictures you may look at and be like, "that's silly" but I want to remember our life now when I look back in 50 years, especially since our little baby will be making an appearance soon.  So here is day one of POTD:

We went shopping this weekend and bought some baby bottles, so I washed and dried them.  They are actually "breast flow" bottles and they come with tops so you can store breast milk in them as well--pretty smart!

Dear Friends,

You are all invited to a baby shower that my mother-in-law is throwing for me on Saturday October 23!  It will be at the church from 12-4.  You don't need a gift to come, just come and eat and play games.  I would love to see all your friendly faces :) 

Love
Amanda
