This weekend

There is a little bit of fall left around here but not much. I just thought this leaf was pretty. The singles ward planned a pig roast this weekend at a member of the churches house. Jesse and I went down to help get things ready. It was freezing but so nice to be outside for a whole day.
Here is the pig on the roaster. I kind of wish we got to butcher the pig and all that fun stuff but we didn't. Bro. Locklear just bought it at the store. I was amazed at how much pig there was. We had a ton of food.
Brother Locklear has a river that runs at the back of his property. It was so pretty. He told us we could come and swim during the summer and I plan to take him up on that. He also said we could go tubing and kayaking. That might be a little challenging with a brand new baby but I think we can figure something out.
One thing I love about North Carolina are all the trees that grow in the water. I think they look so cool.
After a few hours of freezing we decided to build a fire. It was a nice big fire and it was HOT but felt sooo good.
Here are some of Brother Locklear's cows. I liked how there are pastures in the middle of all the trees
Jesse kept himself busy by chopping down stumps and trees. Now he gets to go back out in a week and get free firewood!
While Jesse worked hard I kicked up my feet and hung out by the amazing fire. I was also playing around with my camera.Some decided hugging a tree upside down was fun

Here are somethings I made for our house for Christmas
I like my fireplace I think its my favorite. Mainly because I have the ornaments we used for our
My wreath isn't so pretty but I also only spent $4.oo on it. It looks better in person too

Your decorations look great. Like the cinnamon sticks on the candle. So creative! The shot of your feet is pretty cool but I'll be more excited to see some belly shots. ;)

Hey, I like the pictures. Not the pig, that is just gross. But the pond. I definitely think you should do all of the mentioned activities. Even with the little squirt. NC sure is pretty. But we miss you.
