Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving came and went way too fast. As did the entire holiday season. For Thanksgiving, Blake and I were lucky enough that we got to celebrate it with both of our families. We first went to Blake's parents house and celebrated it with his family. After we ate a bit.... it was time for our second dinner. We headed to my parents and celebrated again with them. It was fun to have my aunts and their families, along with my grandma.

The entire family plus the Bertholds :)

Emily made everyone name place cards. So cute. She made sure she colored everyone's correctly... hair color, eye color,etc. So cute!

San Diego!

A couple weeks ago Blake had to go to some training in San Diego. I am not a fan of being all alone (especially at nights)... so I decided to tag along with Blake. He was a little worried that I'd be bored while he was gone during the days... but I wasn't bored at all. When Blake got off of work everyday, we went and did some site seeing. I love San Diego!

We stayed on Coronado Island. Behind us is the bridge to get to the island. So pretty at night!

We went to some historic site (I can't even recall what it was)... but the view was gorgeous!

Padres Stadium

San Diego Temple. Beautiful.

Old Town San Diego
We visited the Mormon Battalion visitors center while we were there. It was pretty cool to see.
Blake got to play dress-up as a Mormon ready to fight in the battle. He loved it. ;)

Flamingos hanging out right outside our hotel room.
Blake was excited to visit the Torrey Pines Golf Course. It was really pretty!
I love the big Rolex clock. Pretty sweet.

I LOVE Pinterest!

I got these ideas off of Pinterest and I had to copy them because they were so cute.... and most importantly, they looked easy to make. :)

Pumpkin Carving!

Brooklyn and her little BF came over the other night to carve pumpkins. It has been years since I have carved pumpkins.... I didn't remember how. I'm actually pretty shocked I didn't cut my fingers off! But we had a good time. Messy.... but fun!

I love October!

This last weekend some of my family went up to the cabin to get in a quick trip before it snows. It was SO pretty up there.... the leaves were gorgeous! It got a little chilly but not bad. On Sunday it was my birthday and Blake gave me the best gift ever.... a digital SLR. He gave me the gift early so I could take it to the cabin. Which he probably thought he made a bad decision. I was taking pictures non-stop. Everyone was getting so sick of me snapping pictures of them. O'well... :) The gorgeous view right by my cabin!

Cute little Molly loves the mountains :)
