Birthday Girl!

its been a whole year already since we welcomed this sweet amazing little angel into our life, 

and we are completely crazy about her.

we'll be celebrating with cake and ice cream on sunday with some family and friends, 

i can't wait to see her dig into her very own cake!

i cannot believe its been a year already,

guess time really does fly when your having fun.

although the party isnt till sunday, i couldnt resist taking pictures of her in her birthday onezie.

do they get any cuter than this??

Little girls dance their way into your heart, whirling on the tips of angel wings, scattering gold dust & kisses in our paths.

What You Think About, Comes About

every where we turn there seems to be little hidden treasures tucked between the tiny folds of space and time.

it started out one of those days that merely waking up put a smile on my face.

its looking outside and seeing the trees and landscape beaming with beauty, lighting up my whole neighborhood.

reds and yellows and oranges sporting their autumns best.

i thought of wanting to be in a place where i could capture the fall at its peak,

even if it were just to be stored in the banks of my memory.

it just so happens that a full parking garage at the hospital during a visit to see mom, would take us all the way to the rooftop. and i even had my camera!

on the way home, we were just in time for a train crossing over the tunnel near home.

a little something for Bum.

we pulled over and watched until it was gone. it made Denver's day.

everything we want and desire is out there trying to find it's way to us ...

we just have to allow it.

"Remember, whatever you focus upon, increases...When you focus on the things you need, you'll find those needs increasing. If you concentrate your thoughts on what you don't have, you will soon be concentrating on other things that you had forgotten you don't have-and feel worse! If you set your mind on loss, you are more likely to lose...But a grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person's life."

Trick or Treat

i couldn't have asked for a better halloween day.
the leaves are in their most brilliant bolds, and the weather outside didn't even call for a coat.
the best part of the day had to be watching Denver do the monster mash.
it looked so fun, we all up and did it. oh, what a sight. a real graveyard smash i tell ya.
matter of fact, i'm kicking myself for not getting pictures, darn!
but i did remember to get pictures of them in their costumes,
hey, i think i'm getting the hang of this!

well, now I am offically bummed. 

my favorite holiday is gone with the wind.
 but now with all that said and done, its time to plan a #1 birthday party!

Happy Halloween friends.

When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam,
May luck be yours on Halloween.

Happy Eyes

i drove around for a while today. just me, myself and i.

it was a day where if you didn't get out and enjoy the sunshine and breathtaking fall foliage,

 it would have been considered a sin.

my eyes were extremely happy today.

the only set back was being confronted by a cop who told me i cannot invent my own parking space anymore.

he must not know who i am! hmph. besides, this is my season, dag nabbit, my season!

here is a little peak at what the world looked like through my eyes today.

and if i ever were to go blind, they may as well rip my heart out as well.

Highest of heights, I climb this mountain and feel one with the rock and grit and solitude echoing back at me.

Fulton Farms

i cant believe october is half way over already.

it's been an awesome month so far and getting better as the leaves change and fall. 

soon the tree's will be naked.

i am so, so, SO in my element.

i'm gonna preserve autumn this year by canning the prettiest leaves i can find with the perfect fall scented air

and open them up later on in the year to cry over.

thats just gonna have to do until i can find a way to make it stay fall all year round.

Fulton Farms is absolutely beautiful this time of year,

it was the perfect way to spend such a perfect day.

 Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

Vintage Find

me and nev went to goodwill today and found this goblin looking porcelin doll lady.

we figure anything this ugly is bound to be haunted.

her name is rose, and nev insisted we buy her.

she showed us three times before checking out that she can magically manifest herself

in different areas of the cart without us realizing it.

can you say c.r.e.e.p.y?

so far she has stayed in her designated areas since we have been home, (thank goodness)..

but i swear when i stare at her from a distance, it looks like she's breathing.

i'll keep her for a while just to see if anything happens.

(insert twighlight zone theme song here).

regardless, nev has agreed to keep her in her room. we'll see if that holds true.

after a few weeks, ill pass her to a friend who dares to test her as well.

anyone brave enough?

although, please note:

i cannot be held responsible for activity that may or may not occur once in your possession.

borrow at your own risk.

P.S. Another Realm Lives.

**UPDATE: Grandma Rose has been evicted!  I let a friend borrow her and she has been officially evicted from their residence as well.  She has been passed yet again to another friend, and waiting to hear any updates.

i have no desire to ever have her back in my possession. (excuse the pun).
