Homemade Marshmallows

This is something everyone should make....at least once!  I saw the recipe a few weeks ago and knew I had to make them!!  The recipe was so easy, but you must have an electric mixer.  I used my beaters since I don't have a whisk attachment and they worked just fine. 
These are so, so yummy!!!  

 The ones on top are chocolate swirl...I popped one in my cup of hot cocoa earlier :)

Go HERE to get the recipe.

Cutting the Tree!

For the past 7 or so years (except one) we've been going to the same tree farm to cut down our Christmas tree.  It's a gorgeous spot on the side of the mountain and we always look forward to this tradition!




 Natalie was saving up her energy so she took a ride out to the trees!
 The big kids took turns sawing!



 Natalie worked so hard and insisted she could pull the tree by herself...and she did!


 Wyatt and Natalie worked really hard pulling the tree up the hill!  We always stop in the little shop area and have hot cocoa and cookies, so that may have been the motivation for such hard work!

Fall Fun!

We didn't get a lot of time to play in the leaves this year, and even though it doesn't look like it--Mason WAS having fun.  He just didn't want his picture taken!!
