Fall in Utah

Love the fall in Utah, love when it gets cooler in the evenings and it feels so good to get in bed and the sheets are cold, I love the warm days and cooler evenings. I love fall leaves, I am drawn to fall colors when I am looking for things in my house, so rich and warm. There are are a few streets I love to drive down in the fall and just seeing all those colors makes me happy. But I also realized that I love it as it is a time for reflecting on our blessings and showing gratitude for them. I am so blessed, sometimes it feels so easy to focus on our trials and the hard things we have to face but that makes it hard to count our blessings. But I have been reminded through small little ways that I am not forgotten, my prayers are heard. Maybe is not in the way I was hoping they might have been, but sometimes by small little miracles that are so amazing, beautiful and undeniable reminders we are not alone. I am so grateful to have such am amazing family and to have so many great friends, happy fall. Love you all!

Kannarville falls hike

Scott and I did this hike and we loved it. It's a beautiful and fun hike, it is only about 15 minutes south of Cedar City. If you have 2 or 3 hours this is a really fun hike.

Hiking the narrows in Zion's Sept 11

Scott and I met up with my twin sisters family earlier this month and hiked the narrows. Amazing hike and fun company, we love the Anderson's.

Banana Bread Recipe w/Glaze

A lady at my work gave me this recipe for Banana Bread, it is really good! I found the glaze on line to put it on, this is a good one.



Banana Bread-
Special Note-stir by hand, not an electric mixer
1 C. Butter
1 ½ C. Sugar
Mix these two ingredients together until creamy. Then add the following-
2 Eggs (beaten)
4 ripe bananas
4 TBSP Buttermilk
1 tsp real Vanilla
In separate bowl mix these items together, then add to the above mixture.
2 C. Flour
1 tsp Salt
1 ½ tsp Baking Soda

Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes check often for oven baking time variance

Banana Bread Glaze
1/3 C. Milk
2 Tablespoon Butter
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 C. Powdered Sugar
Mix together until boiling turn to low heat for five minutes. Then turn off, it should be slightly cooled then pour over cooked banana bread. (If it’s too hot it will melt into the bread and not stay on top as a glaze.)

Jackson Hole

Jenny's Lake (Teton National Forest)




Jackson Hole, Scott would like to bring some of this beauty to our house I am sure.




It's been pointed out to me again, that I am a horrible blogger! So here is my post for the month or year, not sure yet.

Scott and I went to Jackson Hole for our Anniversary, I had never been but I loved it! It is so beautiful and there is so much to do in the area. We didn't make it up to Yellow Stone, but we did hike Jenny's lake in Teton National Forest. The Tetons are amazing and every angle was so beautiful! We loved it and had a great time.
