Pinterest Dinner Night...

I decided to celebrate my last few weeks of fall... (That's what it feels like, seeing as how it snowed last week) By taking an unintentional blogging break... The leaves are losing their vivid colors... The air is getting colder... And men are exposing themselves to runners up mill creek canyon.... What can I say.... Winter is upon us! To really get into the cozy spirit, we house sat in Park City this weekend. It was perfect.... I decided to take a whack at some pinterest recipes I've been saving... The first is a cauliflower crust pizza....

Dynamite! Seriously was amazing... Drew gave it his seal of approval... Recipe can be found on eat-drink-smile.com... Amazing!

For dessert I made these blueberry cupcakes, with a blueberry cream cheese frosting.... This one took quiet awhile, because I kept getting distracted by muddy puppy paws running through the house.... When I finally finished, it was worth the wait! This recipe came from weekofmenus.blogspot.com. Both are pinned under my recipe board, pinterest.com/lindsayredd!

Fall!

I have been spending as much time outdoors as possible... More specifically up Millcreek canyon... On odd days you can take your dogs off leash up the trails... Cleo, Polly and I have been hiking to dog lake every other day...

The colors have been so amazing... It's almost too much to take in. Every other day the colors just get deeper and richer.

You can't keep this much beauty all to yourself! These pictures are dedicated to Lindsey Miles! I'm enjoying the mountains enough for the two of us!

One of the reasons (of many) I cannot wait to finish the house.... I want to hang some art! I have been gathering via pinterest, some pieces that I either want to buy or recreate, to hang for constant inspiration in my home... I think all to often we get stuck in just getting through the day... Next thing you know its been weeks then years later, when life has just happened to you.... Or you think you simply have to follow in the steps that are laid out for you.... Instead why not live the life you imagine? Do it, and live it confidently... No one can argue with that...

So simple.... So true.... I believe so strongly in self fulfilling prophesies... Believe it, and do it!

Oh Jillian Michaels.... I heart you, my girl crush.... Why not you.... Why not me....I want to display these quotes somewhere in my home... To see every day, to remind myself to live each day with purpose, and live the life I want.

Dog Lake

Sorry for the overload of instagram pictures this week! I haven't been carrying my camera around, and I most certainly wasn't going to lug it around on this hike... Although it would have been lighter, and a lot more useful then the nalgene water bottle I hauled up, full of sudsy water.... Blah!

The pooches and I headed up to Dog Lake after work... The leaves are changing, and we weren't about to miss it! My pooches are major fall nuts! Crazy dogs!

It was a terrific 6 mile round trip hike... It was the longest hike I have done in my fivefinger Vibrams... I love them! The most comfortable hike I have ever done... The muscles in my feet are sore, I didn't even know the muscles were there.... Learn something new...

As did Polly who decided to fetch sticks out of the water... She thought it was okay... What was really fun, was hunting dragonflies... She's a natural pouncer...

This was the first time I've been up to Dog Lake without Caesar... This was our hike... He loved it! He loved getting up to the lake, running into the water.... Drinking as much as he could, and then throwing it up! It was his tradition! Silly pooch!

Birth Month part ...

And now to wrap up the moat fantastic birthday weekend ever!

We started off with breakfast on the porch... Drew put away some major travel size boxes of cereal! So proud of him!

We went and looked for stumps to use as footstools, end tables etc... Which we ended up completely forgetting....

We made one last morning hike up to the waterfall... Gorgeous as always!

When we finally made our way down to the lodge we, arrived just in time for the Sunday brunch.... Oh my... It was amazing! And look baby desserts! Too great!

We hung out by the water for a long time, talking about life, and the pursuit of happiness! Truly, it was picture perfect!

Just Drew and me.... And the fishes!

A weekend of perfection!

Birth Month take FOUR

We happened upon one of those fortune teller machines in Provo, on our way out to dinner.... Felt like we were dropped right onto the movie set of, Big!

We ended the night, sitting underneath the pretty lights, being serenaded by a man, his violin, and computer.... Sounds wacky, but it was absolutely lovely!  Provo.... You did real good!

Birth Month take THREE...

My heart belongs in the mountains!

Everything is right....

What a terrific birth month!
