Autumn- the warm sun, the cool gentle breeze, and all the beautiful changing fall colors. I'm in love with all the beauty around us. Mornings are spent enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee with my husband.
This weekend we all had a little date with nature. We set out and found a beautiful spot in the springs where we enjoyed, ourselves and took some family pictures. We enjoyed the calming sounds of the creek and the lighting was beautiful.  Lately, it's been so cool out. I've been enjoying hanging out clothes and opening up a few windows. I normally use our dryer to dry our clothes, but with this weather, it's been great for hanging laundry out. I continue to close windows once the sun goes down. It's still a bit chilly at night to keep windows open. I've been enjoying my pumpkin spice candle during the evenings.
 
This weekend I celebrated another year of becoming young. I was spoiled with kisses and hugs from my loved ones, and showered with sweet gifts. I am extremely thankful to see another year and spend it with my family and friends.  I indulged in a few sweet treats and delicious desserts. My husband made a delicious birthday breakfast, and dinner for us all to enjoy. Later my husband and I enjoyed a nice glass of wine, while we talked about our future, and more. 
 
I also did a little shopping at the craft store and picked up an art book with different inspirations, and creations that I can do with my daughter. We absolutely love being creative and creating art in our home.  It's been a beautiful weekend spent with my family. How did you spend your weekend? I'd love you hear if you went on any adventures. :)

Our Adventures.-The Denver Art Museum

We decided to take a day trip to explore the downtown Denver area. On this particular day, my husband and I were celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary and wanted to have a mini date that included time with the kids as well. Our adventure started with us eating at the Cheesecake Factory. We wanted to make sure our tummies were full before we took on this day trip. The food was amazing, and we just really enjoyed this time together.  The weather wasn't so cold, but we still made sure to bundle up in warm coats. The Denver Art Museum is located in the Civic Center of downtown Denver. I also learned that this museum is one of the largest art museums between the West Coast, and Chicago. -We learn something new each day. This was actually our first time visiting the art museum.  During our visit, we viewed some beautiful and very creative pieces of art.  This museum has 70,000 objects in the museum's collection. There are approximately 18,000 in the Nativ...
