Fall!

Fall is definitely here! The famous Montana saying is, "if you don't like the weather now, wait five minutes". It is so true! In the past week and a half, it has been 15° and 82°. It snowed on the mountaintops on the 3rd and there were snow flurries in the valley that didn't stick. The little kids weren't so excited about that. :) The only thing that did stick was the nippy weather....for a while. This week it warmed up to the high 80s!

The first "snow".





A couple of days before!





We got car stickers for our photography business



We made a big batch of Caramel Corn!!!!


Later in the week...15°. 


...and beautiful.


We watched a documentary called, "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" and have been inspired to start juicing. We asked Uncle Paul (who has everything we could possibly need) if he had a juicer and of course, he said yes. He is letting us borrow the big daddy of them all--a Champion Juicer!


It is really fun to use!


This was one of our first juices. Pretty basic. But since then, we have added lots more exotic fruits. It is fun to see all the different colors from the fruits/veggies!


It looks gross, but its actually pretty good!


Homemade strawberry ice cream....so good!!


I took Tilly and the pumpkin for a little photo shoot. :) I love this picture!






Dad has been working on a pizza oven outside and just layed down the cement. Bennett helped him and they got it done in one afternoon! Uncle Paul gave Dad a cement mixer and Dad put a new motor in. It works great! They hauled one wheelbarrow after another up the hill and onto the worksite. 






Dad layed the first course of cinder block yesterday!
